Ryu, rigged vehicles that you're riding in, then. My point is that you always have to trade something for something. You're not interested in that trade (and maybe for good reasons), but somebody is interested in it, that's all.
Yes, and I expressed that I´m not impressed by that route and that there are better ways to become a metal man. And If you DO become a jarhead, your body IS a drone and therefore can be rigged.
Becoming a biodrone via Stirrup should be possible, there is even a rumor of some Proteus execs being "jumping jacks" in the fluff part of Augmentation. I´d require a Delta-clinic for that, and any buyer would face MBW costs without rebate.
I can live with reacting faster to your surroundings while a high-end processor is wired into your brain functions (VR-mode, jumped in). At 15k for a SimSense Accelerator plus 65k for a SimSense Booster plus 45k for a Stirrup (base cost, ask your GM) you can have 4 physical IPs (5 IP minus 1 piloting IP). 125k base, 3 essence base, 4 IPs, -1 to pools, hackable. Not bad at standard grade, more expensive than Synaptic-3 on higher grades. I´m not interested myself, but would not see trouble if others wanted to walk that way.
