Not sure where I found it or who it was that posted it but this is a list I've found helpful in the past:
"Some equipment you might want for an Exceptional, Dedicated Rigger...
*High Rating Comlink (6+ in all categories)
*Approrpiate Software (Command, Sniffer, Scan, ECCM, as Primary with Backup hacking programs to actually take over Drones)
*Simsense Booster (Increase IP's)
Simsense Accelerator (with Simsense Booster allows 5 IP)
Non-Standard Wireless Link (Harder to Detect)
Directional Antenna (adds +2 to Signal Rating)
Skinweb Array (Harder to Jam at Origin)
Customized Comlink Interface (Bonus to Initiative)
Optimization for Command Program
Response Enhancer at highest rating available (Improves Command Channels)
*Control Rig (+2 Dice)
*Control Rig Boosters (Increase Native Skill in Vehicle while Jumped In)
*Reakt Transgenic Modification (For Defensive Reaction Rolls, will not help in all circumstances)
*Reception Enhancer (For processing Sensory Data - Perception Tests)
*Attention Co-Processor (Same as Reception Enhancers)
*Math SPU (for EW Assistance)
Satellite Link (Extended Communication)
I may have forgotten something, but I am not sure what right this second......
With all of the above systems (assuming adequate Essence) you will be a very Prime Rigger, and combined with top of the line piloting skills in a variety of vehicles, and maybe some physical speed augments you will very hard to beat... Your biggest challenge will be maintaining signal range in an area that is devoid of actual signals... Drones can only communicate at the limits of THEIR signal range, so you must be within this range for two-way communication, which is not hard to do in an urban environment due to the way the Matrix (and Mesh Networks) works, but in the middle of the Gobi Desert it will be a challenge unless all vehicles and yourself are equipped with a Satellite Link."
