Something along these lines is the first go to 'sleeve up' of this guy.

The thought behind it is to make the the Corp think twice about Rezzing ice. Rez, I'll shut it down or trash it or at worst make some money from it. This makes me think syphon should land nicely. Perhaps same old thing has a place? I felt it needed some multi access so went with the Interfaces. A little concerned about the amount of memory potentially held up but I'm thinking with Crescentus and Faeries mem quickly becomes freed up again. A little weak to the kill but if the Syphons land and do their job this becomes less of a problem. This is as yet unplayed, any thoughts?

You could free up influence by dropping to 2x Run Amok and adding Same Old Things.

Dirty Laundry seems to counter Nero's Snitch-Revoir econ engine. These reward you for unsuccessful runs, but DL rewards you for successful runs (like Desperado et al). You might consider Career Fair/Supplier as an econ card instead.

If you're gonna run Cerberus "Rex" H2, you may wanna consider a 1-of Passport as well. Those counters can disappear fast if you're not careful.

@PureFlight I had the Dirty Laundrys as I felt at some point I will actually have to make successful runs, I've come round to the idea of The Supplier, with the few resources I have and the Hardware it should get good return so for now DL has been dropped. Dropping a Run Amok may be a thing, I think it could be a card for later in the game anyway once my rig is close to ready. Like a lot of this setup I won't know until I start playing with it.

@esutter479 if I can keep ice shutdown via Emergency Shutdown, Crescentus or even trashed via Run Amok and Land the Account Siphons I shouldn't need to worry, I feel I could get away with not needing more than the 2x Cerberus "Rex" H2. I had thoughts of maybe e3 Feedback Implants but don't think the rest of the rig benefits. I'd like to not be solely running on centrals.

Hopefully DandD arrives today so I can try it out this evening.

The moment I sleeved him up I realised this has no starting money so I changed that, realised the only use out of reflection I was getting was the link on underworld contacts so switched them and came to the realisation that run amok is an expensive inside job in most cases. With all the programmes and hardware I briefly toyed with tech writer and scheherazade with not much joy. This build is proving slow though I'm not giving up yet.

-3 special order, -3 run amok, -3 reflection, -3 underworld contact +3 ddos, +2 inside job, +3 box-e, +3 daily casts
