So, I decided I wanted to try something different(not that anything I do is ever along the norm anyway), and decided to go with an AI character.  I noticed earlier that the AI-specific qualities from RC are listed there, Piloting Origin and Ghost in the Machine, but none of the other bits of information were implemented. So, if the staff decides to officially implement AI characters in chargen, here's the list of things that are missing from it:

Metatype:

Artificial Intelligence (110BP) No physical attributes. max edge = average of mental attributes(but the players can do the math on that themselves).

AI-Specific qualities:
I noticed that only two qualities were listed for AI characters.  The rest were missing. The BP cost for the qualities is listed on p.89 of the Runner's Companion, while the details of the qualities are listed in Unwired, on the pages noted in the Runner's Companion. They are AI-specific qualities.

Authority, Code Flux, Redundancy, Rootkit, and Sapper.

Also, as a side-note, -all- of the qualities listed in Unwired, pp. 36-38(including a lifestyle option) are not included in chargen.

That seems to be about it for what's missing from chargen to make an AI character.  If you guys feel like putting this all in place, great, otherwise I'll just work around it for an AI character during Wild West. Smiley Thanks.

I dunno how much grid time you've had, but I've already seen a substantial compliment of characters who have really crappy commlinks and don't use AR, so if you play an AI you'll want to think about a physical means of interacting with people who are offline.

I've got that covered by an assortment of drones. Essentially I threw this post up there because it details a lot of things missing from chargen at the moment.

Except that restricted gear isn't in the sidebar of listed qualities that an AI character can take.  But I'm sure it's on his list of gear that he 'must buy in the future'.

Wait...  Was that supposed to make sense?  I keep forgetting...
