CYBERDECKS

With time in this new Matrix—and if rumors are true, another security upgrade is on the way—cyberdecks have been getting some alterations to their design and basic functions. The dongle market is letting a lot of would-be hackers play a dangerous game with half-assed equipment and a cheap lease on life. With several of the trainer decks and locked design decks getting tons of love these days, a few other cyberdeck firms have been getting into the fray and offering alternative designs and elements that ease costs but leave any users a step or two behind the true corporate-raider-level decks. Most of the major cyberdeck makers have models of their own, but I’d like to put a little focus on Fuchi.

 

FUCHI CYBER-N SERIES

Using the branding power of Fuchi and not letting the collapse of another Villiers project get them down, the lab rats have brought you the N-series. With this series, you design the system you want, and that’s what you get—at all times. The N-series follows in the locked-decks market, but when purchased new allows custom design for the system settings. You get to choose what you’re getting stuck with. To add an extra bit of rigidity, the N-Series can only run one program at a time. Period. 

> Great for those just out to do the job. They lack any kind of flexibility. Even the other locked designs have some program variability for tough spots. If you run with the N (or run with a decker with one), know that versatility is not on the menu.

FUCHI CYBER-EX SERIES

Similar in design to the N-series, the Ex-series offers the same custom system design but instead of no processors to run programs, it offers a unique program sub-processor that allows a greater number of programs to be run. Despite the steep price tag, the programs aren’t included, but each system has enough memory to store twice the number it can run at any given time for those who want options. Purchasers appreciate the extra program capacity, even if it means sacrificing some of the capabilities of the deck itself. Programs aren’t included, despite the steep price tag, but the system has enough storage memory to hold as many as you can afford.

> I like the thought here, and the heavy program load makes up a little for the lack of versatility. Then again, it also allows for a very focused device with some programs around to protect you long enough to run if things go south.

N-SERIES RULES

Ordering a custom setup costs the amounts below. Deck Rating in this case determines the maximum rating of any other attribute. As described above, the N-series can only store and run a single program, regardless of their rating. Once set, the attributes for any given cyberdeck cannot be changed.

 

ATTRIBUTE AVAIL COST

Deck Rating (Deck Rating x 2)R Rating x 5,000¥

Attack — Rating^3 x 500¥

Sleaze — Rating^2 x 500¥

Data Processing — Rating^2 x 500¥

Firewall — Rating^3 x 500¥

 

EX-SERIES RULES

 

Ordering a custom setup costs the amounts listed below. For the Ex-series, a deck’s Device Rating determines the maximum rating of every other attribute, but it can run a number of programs equal to the Device Rating plus two.

 

ATTRIBUTE COST AVAIL

Deck Rating (Deck Rating x 2)R Rating x 10,000¥

Attack — Rating^3 x 500¥

Sleaze — Rating^2 x 500¥

Data Processing — Rating^2 x 500¥

Firewall (Rating x 4)R Rating^3 x 500¥
