Matrix hardware according to the rules is capt at 6 for Response and Signal. While this makes sense for portable units (like comlinks) to me, it falls apart when you get to computers that mega corporations would be using for running arcolgies or (god forbid) guiding a ship to Mars and back. The rules mention that corporations still use wired systems within their complexes to cut down on their vulnerability. So large scale systems still have to exsist some what don't they? If I am reading the rules right (and I could not be god knows, lol) it is very possible for a player character to have hardware and software hanging off their belt that is just as powerful as anything the corps can martial which seems silly considering the corps (realitive) unlimited assets. Coments?
