My setup won't ever do good rigging, but if we can scrounge up a Pilot 3 (min) drone of some kind, a machine sprite plus eventually getting One With The Matrix (8pt) will at least do some basic drone aided surveillance and the like. It won't be as good as somebody getting an actual rig and RCC by far, but at 3 we can run the basics (depending on how its dodge is calculated) and a bit of luck/help can let us get the one electronic mod the thing can have. Probably additional Noise Reduction, but it could be a permanent Virtual Machine or the like.<br/><br/>Also, if anyone has the money and a mid-range weapon, there's the weapon mod that decreases the range penalty by one, which can serve to make a weapon a slightly longer range. So I can try and rearrange things, find the 2k plus potential smartsystem costs and alter for SMG use and hit 40 meters with only other penalties to care about. Although one of the combat types should probably do that instead, as my die pool's not at full combat snuff without a very lucky Machine Sprite assist.
