Two more questions:
If I were to have cyberlimbs, would that benefit me? I ask because cyberlimbs have cyberlimb capacity, which may help me to keep my essence costs down.
If I were to roll an Ork (with the Human-Looking quality) would that benefit me? They seem to get a lot for their 20 BP cost.
Edit so as not to triple post: I've decided I'm going to play an Ork, focusing on being a gunbunny and hacker. I'm thinking about using a Cyberfoot, or maybe two partial Cyberlegs, so I can use their capacity to boost what cyberware I can run. I'm thinking about a nanohive and Neo-Cortical nanites, PuSHeD, an Encephalon and some other stuff (assuming my GM allows them). Are there any other 'wares you'd suggest from the get go? And could someone explain to me how the stats on Cyberlimbs work, and armoring them and such (it's all kinda confusing)? I'm trying to make sure I've got three IPs out of chargen, and I think I may have to use Wired Reflexes rather than Move-by-Wire, at least initially, due to costs (this guy is likely to be extremely strapped for cash).
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
