So instead of doing anything useful this morning I did this. Thought exercise, I knew the creepy guy in a Van (Car in this case) was a doable character, I wasn't sure how effective it would be. Turns out, as long as he can stay in the car, he's a moderate Decker that can bring a fair amount of firepower to bear.

== Notes ==
RCC Normally runs Smoke and Mirrors, Stealth, Swarm, Smartsoft, Virtual Machine, Toolbox, Clearsight.
Normal mode of operation is tucked away in the Rigger Cocoon and jumped into the I-Bot. The Comet cruises around on Auto Pilot. The Duelists ride it out in the Drone Launchers until needed. Swarm the two Duelists and they're at 14 Dice on an aimed Burst from the Ingram, but they'd likely be used for suppression fire. 14 Dice for Sneak as well on the Duelists so they should be able to tag along with the team and maintain a low profile. Dice pools on the jumped in I-Bot are good, I-Bot on it's own isn't great though. Running Silent I think he's go about 20 dice to resist Matrix Perception with up to 15 Devices in the PAN. Would need some GM leeway to handle Encrypted files with no Attack rating. Either let Overclocker bring it from 0 to 1 or let him Edge to blow the Limit. Obviously Direct Access wouldn't be a thing for this character, and getting some kind of Yerzed out mobility scooter would be a good idea.
A normal Combat Decker would likely be a "Better" character but if you want to be "that guy" it seems to work. One big advantage of this build is that the Combat power skyrockets quickly with a few runs. Start adding on more combat platforms and break them into squads, like a couple Rotodrones with Ares Alphas for some Flashbang and Smoke Grenade coverage to go along with the Suppression fire from the Duelists. The Duelists can actually get quite tanky once you add on some more Armor rating, enough Mod points left to add another 6 points once the Nuyen becomes available. 14 Dice Sneak, Shoot, 11 Dice Doge, 28 Soak? No Street Samurai, but they'll do the job.
Rigging isn't usually my thing so I'm sure I missed something, but overall looks playable for a very specific definition of playable.
