Here is my ideas for a rigger cranial deck, unfortunately it has not been
tested, so look it over and tell me what you think.
Thanks in advance.


Rigger Cranial Deck Gernal Notes
Information
	The rigger must be able to access the information for the
deck by some means.
	-Cybereye
	-Datajack to Display unit
	-Display link
	-Access from head memory (adds +2 to SLD)
Basic Equipment Needed
MVCP
Remote module
Transmit
Head memory
Something to acces the info with

	The rigger cranial deck is a modified version of the decker's c^2
computer. Remotes are controlled by the MVCP (master vehicle control program
) The Handling of the remote is multiplied by 100. This is now the amount
of Mp of memory the remote takes up in Active head memory. You must have
enough room in active head memory to control a remote.

Change of the Vehicle control rigs
	The essense cost has been lowered from the original cost as follows
Level	Essense cost
1	1
2	2
3	4
	The level adds to the normal reaction of the rigger but the additional\
dice only add to the rigger while he is rigging.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
			COMPONENTS
MVCP- Master Vehicle Control Program
Essense cost: (MVCP rating/10) + .1
Base time: (rating^2)x12
Build time: rating x 5
Appropriate skills (target)
Design: Average of computers and cybernetics and electronics (round down)
Building: Ave of Comp B/R, Cyber B/R, Electronics B/R (round down)
Upgrade design: (new -old)
	build: (new)
Tools required: Microtronics shop, Cybernetic shop, Optical chip encoder
		Personal computer (min. Mp =rate^2 x 6)
Cost: MVCP rating^2 x200Y +1000Y (simsense chip)
Limits: max rating (build) =ave Comp+Cyber skills (round down)
	The MVCP is the heart of the vehicle C^2. The MVCP controls all actions
preformed by the VEhicle C^2 deck. MAX rating is equal to 1.5 times the
subject's intellegence. Anything installed higher than that max is at
+4 to all target numbers. The MVCP divided by two is the MAX # of drones
or remotes that the deck can support.
1
TIGHTBEAM MFBR - tight beam multifrequency broadcast/receiver
Level  essense  construction cost  street avail.     street price
1-3      .12	level^2x1000Y     Con cost/10,000    con.cost x avail.
4-6	 same
7-9	 same...
10+	 same...
Raw code size: (rating^2 x12 Mp)   Limits(build):MAX rating= Computer skill
Base time: size x 8 days           Upgrade: Desired rating, diff. in base time
Build time: rating x 14days
Appropriate skills (target): Computer (rating x 1.5)
Tools required: Pc (min Mp =size)
Cost: rating^2 x 50Y
MAX rating: 75% of MVCP
	The level of the tightbeam is the target number for electronic
trying to counter the signal. Normal Background signals and eliminated


REMOTE MODULE  
Essense cost - .3
Construction cost = MVCP^2 x remote level^4 x 2Y

Construction stats are the same as for HARDENING for the C^2 deck in VR.

The rating of the remote module can be used instead of the autopilot rating
of the remotes under the rigger's control. This coordinate the information
between the remotes and the rigger. The rigger does not suffer any penalties
if he oders all the remotes to perform the same action with the remote module


ENCEPHALON
	Same as Encephalon for deckers except the task pool adds to the 
control pool of the rigger. the bonus to skills is applied to the 
vehicle skills of the rigger. The encephalon can still act as a softlink.

SPU -math
	Same as decker except that the increase goes to the control pool
the pool is increased by 1/2 the rating of the math SPU.

RESPONSE -vehicle c^2
	Same as response for the deckers except it adds +2 per level
(up to a max of 3) to reaction. It does not add extra dice.

TRANSMIT 
	Essense cost= .1
Basic component needed to transmit orders from the rigger to the remote.

VEHICLE DATA FILTER
Essense cost .3
	This chip sorts and filters the incoming signals from the remotes
an organizes and prioritizes the information for the rigger, allowing
him better control.  
	+1 reaction (+2 control pool)   -2 SLD
