Little clarification on computers - if a higher tier computer controls a lower tier computer, would you use the stats of the higher tier computer? For example, if a custom rig of a mechanic was controlling a computer interface armor mod, would the computer interface mod get the bonuses from the higher tier custom rig?
I love the idea of an ai computer that works with your character to do things. My plan so far is to have my exocortex mechanic in a suit o powered armor with a heavy weapon with the explode property mounted and controlled by my custom rig. I'd like my rig to have the ai property and take care of certain things for me, as a computer interface armor upgrade would. Maybe be a motion detector when my character's asleep, using it's perception (2 and a half times its tier for in every skill) and built in camera/audio recorder to watch for danger. But a computer interface module can't have a control module that interacts with anything outside the armor.
