A Few Weird Things from Unwired, Hmmm... Options

[Cheops]

Nexi and Customization:

As far as I can tell, a nexi can be modified with the options in the gear chapter. If I can have 9 personas running off the nexus and the nexus has say Response Enhancer and Optimization do all 9 personas get the bonuses?

Clusters and Optimization:

So Optimization can only be done once per commlink/nexus and applies to 1 test. What if I cluster 10 different devices each with a different optimization? Do I get bonuses to all 10 actions?

As a corollary, what if I have 1 nexus in a cluster that has Response Enhancer. Does it still apply?

Implication: cluster of 10 Renraku Retailer Hubs (60,000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) ), each optimized (5000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) ), 1 with response enhancement 3 (6000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) ), 1 with Simsense Accelerator (15000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) ) equals a down payment of 86,000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) . You could have 100 hackers hooked up to this thing each getting +1 die to their rolls. Step aside Agent Smith. We all have Init 8/4 and we don't need to make pilot checks to

Final Rant:

Forging SINs -- Who the fuck does this anymore? How do you make a living?
