Thanks in advance.

yeah....code your own abilities.
decompile EVERYTHING.
You will probably need to code yourself another profession for fighting. Pets are worthless.
Code your own clothing.
when you decomple an item, you get a "recipe" for making that item. You then craft the code fragments out of bits, and from those fragments make the code for the item. You can then compile that item 15 times before you need to write the code again, but you do not need to decompile the item to re-code it.
Save your red fragments, and cherish them. they are needed for high-lvl items.
you'll sometimes see satellite dishes around town. these are "signal boosters". Kinda like crafting stations, stand next to them for a boost to your writecode.
Item's names are color coded in your inventory. These colors determine how hard an item is to decompile. Grey is simple, green is easy, blue is doable, yellaow is difficult, red is harder, purpe....forget it.
Don't try to decompile items that aren't blue or lower.,...the chance for failure is high. Failed decompies result in teh destruction of teh item.
You can trade code with otehr crafters, and buy codes on the market.
At low levels, decompile antibiotics and health pills for code bits. see, after you decompile somethng and have the code for it, decompiling anotehr of that item gives you the code bits that it was made of, which can be recycled to make other items.
Have fun, and make some uber gear
4-6 shouldn't take long enough to sleep...maybe doze off...of course if you use your system, you havn't been looting the corpses, thus getting no info, and won't be able to raise your abilities
I hate pets, though. I ground out my critical missions which got me to lvl 11 in about a day, and gave me a fat wad of cash to boot.
