I use the BeCK system for making all of my characters, you end up with more well-rounded realistic skill sets. This is most especially useful for Riggers who want a main skill with supplements for lesser vehicle skills (Tracked and Boat) and their B/R counterparts.

See, by using natural karma expenditure, you can realistically flesh out knowledge skills: You can get two dozen rating 1 or 2 skills (knowledge and active) as opposed to the, "OMG! I need 6s" This is primarily because 1 build point is worth more karma when spent on rating 6 skills. You curb the min-maxing significantly.

*shrug* I got a program that uses the priority system, and i'm too lasy at this point to do them by hand.

I'm writing a new program to roll up PC's in 4th edition though... so I'm not super lasy.

Right... I bet you'd lose an arm before you'd  reach for a tourniquet for your hand, eh?

actually, for the next adventure KV is going to be GMing, and I just made a (non adept though) Troll, who's main skils is Build/Repair.

went someting like
A SKills
B attributes
C Race (troll)
D wealth
E magic

he had barely enough money for a minigun, gyromount, and a used smartlink; but he's got some amazing skills.

That sounds like an NPC I had in my last campaign namde Spanky. He had a BIG crush on one of my runners, a human gillete named Galena, and became a contact iwth the rest of us to impress her. To give you an example of the things Spanky did, when we met up with (an thretened him) he was listening to Bache with the dial cranked up to 11, and working on an Excalibur cyberdeck. The guy was good.
I had a lot of fun with this guy, and everyone was impressed that he could actually spell, much less fix anything. So he kept his brains to himself, and played the "big dumb troll" when in public. He carried a wrench for no apparent reason and had a "Kiss me I'm a troll" badge on his jumpsuit as a kind of stereotypical troll look. Nice guy.

Aye, of course, I'd settle for a Microtronics toolkit...

but it's tough to walk into a place with a toolkit... it's much easyer if it's part of your outfit...

Trolls are big people... there's a lot of room to hide a soldering gun in all the chains and wires...

could make an ear-ring out of it.

And the solder could be woven into a bracelet or neck chain or something.
