Ok I've seen this topic bounced around lately but why exactly, given everything a hacker can start with, pirate, build etc play a techno except as a rigger or stealth specialist? I was thinking of making a drone god out of the techno as it seems to be scary good at this as well as a sprite summoner (relying on 6 fault sprites and 6 agents with various nasty programs to take up the enemy response). However it seems that the hackers can do alot (not quite as high DP ofc) that technos can do without getting raped on bp and resources. What am I missing that allows the technos to function as The One in their natural element? What are the situations where a techno really rapes a hacker?
