Title: Rigger Control Rig
Post by: Chalkarts on <02-12-20/0818:44>
I was thinking of making a rigger, but having a low level Control Rig.  He'd be a wheelman, drive anything kind.
But I didn't want to go with the top tier for thematic reasons.

Do you hate your rigger if they only have a lvl 1 Rig?

I wouldn't hate any wheelman.  They get little enough love as is.

However, I'd be curious why you'd bother with a low level control rig for a driver.  If you're driving a car in AR while using wired reflexes and high reaction attribute lets you do about 90% of what you could be doing if you were rigging anyway, PLUS retaining control of your body for actions like shooting a gun out the side window or etc.  Not to mention, a wired-up driver is basically 3/4 of the way to being a samurai already, so you're pretty useful outside the car, to boot.

I was thinking of going the Narco route instead of wired reflexes

Oh, are we talking 5th edition?

If so, then yeah.  A low rating VCR PLUS Reaction enhancers is perfectly viable.  They don't stack in 6we, so that's the problem I was alluding to in my previous post.

It's weird that Drugs make you a better driver in the 6th world, lol

Rigging is not my thing as a player except as a secondary role and it is likely my weakest area overall but if another player is into it, they are definitely an asset to my team regardless of whether they have a high- or low-end control rig.
