I don't usually post builds, but I wanted to throw this guy out there as he was a bit of a challenge. The basic concept is a nautical-themed decker with a specialization in taking control of drones, including the ability to jump in. This ended up requiring a lot of skill points and resources and was an interesting exercise in balance (for instance, I had to put off the reaction enhancers for post-chargen). I usually build using just Core, the only things I added here from other books was a firearm and armor, I can easily swap those out if R&G isn't allowed. Anyway, thoughts?

One thing I had considered was swapping Resources and Skills: Eliminate Engineering SG (5), Pilot Air/Remote Operation (2), & Pilot Ground/Remote Operation (2). Drop Cybercombat/Devices (6) to (4) & Pilot Water (6) to (4). That would allow me to upgrade my deck to the best available at chargen and still leave me with about 30Kish nuyen, which should allow me to get Reaction Enhancers (2).
