Well, the 10 year cybersoldier has 10 year old equipment.....
Equipment of lower performance than the stuff in the 1ed SR book.
Probably got his Datajack when they cost 1 essence and 100kY. :)

Or you could say "sorry chummer, new character cannot start with
chrome."

The point in you can have all starting character get no more than 6 point
because that is all the body can handle at once. If they life long enough
to get used to it, and then have the nuyen, I say let them get more. :)
