I've decided to build a "hard science" hacking game from scratch. Here's what I have so far:

Skills:

1- Software - servers, terminals and security systems
2. Telcom - phones, fire alarms, and ATMs
3. chemicals - explosives, stun grenades, and hallucinogenic darts
4. mechanical - firearms, locks, car engines
5. electronics - home appliances, lighting systems, vending machines
6. programmable logic controllers - railroad equipment, industrial equipment and cranes
7. robotics - drones, trucks, and cars
8. social - lying, bluffing, and disguises

Ideally the player would pick 2-3 to specialize in. Any suggestions?

To check the power of firearms and explosives, the majority of player travel would be through paid subways where they'd be confiscated. Players that would want them have take a paid cab or walk which takes time (each day passed gives four "opportunities" to do things, and "walking" to/from a place would consume two).

Additionally, once every three turns the GM would roll a d20 for a random event (1-9 = no, 10-20 = yes) which the player would have the option of pursuing. Quests would be "timed", and have to be completed within a certain number of ingame days or else the player looses reputation with the faction/questgiver.
