Implication of the decker / rigger change.
Low cost deckers???

Without the need for a clunky cyber deck and presumably without the need for programs (where would you store them if you had no cyber deck?) what will deckers spend there money on. I have always seen a decker as a resources a pick but now it seems they need nothing.

There is some talk about a form of C^2 deck becoming the standard but that doesn’t make much sense to me, why would thy do away with the external cyber deck in favour of something so costly and essence intensive, the only reason to take one was covert operation.

Also riggers will become more powerful, with les spend on there interface hardware (RCD) they will be able to spend that money on more starting vehicles.

And what will happen to the otaku. There howl advantage is gone if nobody needs a deck, I can see a howl plot line of the depressed otaku that are no longer special.
