We allow reaction enhancers...etc for vehicle initiative, along with the
reaction bonuses for wires or Adept reflex increase, we do not however
allow the additional dice.
The first reason is simple, the rigger invests loads of essence in a VCR3,
the samurai buys Synaptic Acceleration 2 and Boosted Reflexes 3.
The Rigger gets some bonuses to driving and 3d+6 to their initiative while
driving, outside the car (or whatever) they're an ordinary Joe.
If you allow the Samurai to gain (IIRC) 4d+4 to their initiative while
driving, in additional to everywhere else! then the rigger is obviously at
a severe disadvantage.
The second is more in terms of the "fluff", the samurai is one step
removed, the rigger is running down the street, pulling a gun and blowing
12 30mm shells through a wall before piling on the speed, head back, arms
pumping...etc.
The samurai drops the car down into second, reaches out and flicks a
switch, moments later the cannon rises out through its slot in the bonnet
and with the flick of another switch its motor powers up, the chain feed is
powered, the dial showing barrel speed is climbing... Suddenly it's a lot
quicker to do this as a rigger isn't it?
