Page 128, of Unwired, has program suites the player or gamemaster can buy and use. The upshot is that the suite is a slew of programs that, systematically, counts as a single program. Reduces system lag.

A player could group together programs to reduce their system lag effect, basically creating a player designed suite. But I could not find any game rulings that would allow a player to do that.

I thought of imposing an Extended Programming skill test with a threshold of the total rating of all programs in the suite added up, and an interval of 1 month. But I don't want to create a house rule without knowing the published rule, if there is one.

Please let me know if there is a published rule, and where it might be. Or if there is not, what possible game imbalance I may be creating with my house rule above.
