Deckers useless? For real gaming purposes, yes (although they are very
important, it's the damn rules that get in there way)

Riggers useless? ONly if you alow them to be. Riggers commanding combat
drones can be scary. Just check out the Steel Lynx in the FoF. Rig that
baby up, and you have a serious combat drone on your hands. My character
(the Whistler, who is a mage) liked the Lynx so much he went out and
bought one, had a Sentry gun put in the turret, and made it so it
accepted his voice commands. Cost somewhere around 300,000Y, and I
haven't even gotten a chance to use it yet. But oh, when I
do...HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

And as far as mages being too powerful, they are supposed to be very
powerful. But they are far from invincible. I've been running my mage
for almost four years now, and while he is a serious bad-ass, he would
probably still get killed by our samurai, who has only been run for about
2 years.
