[SR3] Otaku Rigger, making it simple for the GM Options

[Mach_Ten]

I have a player that wants to be a Rigger / Decker

to fill the niche role that every team needs regularly but not consistently.

So, I read the books again and while going through MATRIX .. I found Otaku for the first time.

The Idea I wish to present to the player is an Otaku Rigger who uses complex forms (?) for hacking into systems and inhabits his drones with Pilot programs he has created
(dog brains, or very very simple AI)

this means two things

1) HE gets some goodies to play with and can still walk and talk with the team on the run, with some combat drones & his own skills

2) I get to simplify the whole matrix thing for myself ... just cut it back to the access, analyse, spoof basics etc.

I will have IC out there in the wild .. but I don't want the session focus to descend into a 1-2-1 with him while the rest twiddle thumbs

Has anyone any experience or ideas to add into this mix.

any major pitfalls I should avoid ?

and lastly ... any ideas to help me help this player make it work brilliantly and be FUN for us all.

one note, I'll be making drones a bit more SR4 ... stealthier and smaller .. but not macroscopic!

Thanks
