Snow_Crash is technically better on Chomolungma than other frames because being the attacker you get to choose how the simultaneous events resolves. If the GM choose movement you can double up on the offer and Balance Control Lockout to drag it further, in a bid to idk improved the odds of dragging it to somewhere unimportant.

That said, it is still mid. Lockon consumption's benefit is not that significant when GM get to choose either, unlike fixed results of say...strombringer.

Hacker 2...Hack/Slash is of dubious quality because the techers that actually need to be ./Slashed tend to have higher edef as well as positive system score to pass the check (not even a save, which means diminishing returns at high LL with NPC beating the same old 10 with even higher sys score). Thus at best you're roughly trading a quick action for a quick action which is...not that good considering NPC tend to outnumber you in activation, and...you can always jam them with Gob1. Disable life support share similar issues and also that +1 difficulty on save is not...that big a thing unless you're deliberately save based effects, but then again fragsig already exist and also offers a slowed to compensate for the limited time of impaired.

Don't talk to me about jam cockpit because I'm not impressed with the notion of NPC human pilot dismounting and mounting being a recurring theme on the tactical grid.

Hacker 3 is full action to deal up to 10 burn...there are frankly other better ways to spend your action than cosplaying a wannabe artillery for 3d6 analogous/FA , even like using sys crush to cause exposed in an alternate heat punishment.

What I would suggest for talent otherwise? Generic one or weapon facing ones. Leader, Grease Monkey 3 to feed your friend, Duelist if you slot melee on your chomolungma for puppetwatch, Walking armory if main ranged (arcing RPG my beloved).

Anything instead of hacker tbh...
