What response rating does a mainframe have? Only 6?
Why does a credstick have a device rating of 6? This means that it has System 6, Response 6, Firewall 6, Singal 6? Why does anybody buy comlinks if your credstick is so powerfull? Just modify your credstick. How much IC can you load onto simple nodes that are not meant to work as "real" mainframes? How much IC can you load on "real" mainframes? Why shouldn't there be a huge difference between both kinds of system? How does IC or an Agent affect a nodes response (as indicated in p. 228, in the paragraph "Intrusion Countermeasures")? Does every of the 4 attributes count as a program? Does only the IC count as a program? If yes, why? Do the programmes, the IC is running, count toward the response limit of the node? How does a lowered response affect the standard duties? Does this even matter? The fact, that almost everything now has a device rating, which must fit into the 1-6 levels, smartgun node in your weapon and supermainframe alike, imposes some huge problems. Does anybody know a solution? Is there any way to bring comlinks with system ratings of 6, hightech devices with devicerating 6 that are not originally meant to work as superpower processors, and real mainframes that can only have a rating of 6 together? Do I just have to accept the ratings and roll on random tables for node responses because reasoning is futile? Help me, for I am confused. |
