Ok so i wanna make some kool agents for my drones and stuff. So tell me if i get anything wrong.
First you determine your agents rating which will determine its pilot attribute. Which has a max of 4 at character creation. Your firewall matches your pilot attribute for agents so he also has firewall 4. And its built in so you dont pay for that part. Now the agents response attribute equals whatever node it is being run on. Now it gets messy... If an agent is acting independant then its programs must be active which might affect its response. Also programs are limited to the pilot rating of the agent. However i dont see anywhere where it mentions what an agents system rating is set to so how do we know if our programs are slowing us down or not?? Let me make some examples: Node response (4) Agent(4): Analyze(4), attack(4), stealth(4), track(4) Pilot 4, firewall 4, Response 4 Now what?? System is limited by response. So The system above has to be 4. Which means i get a -1 response. Which according to your religion either causes a death spiral or my response to = 3. Can agents be loaded up with autosofts?? If i give my agent a command program could he drive my vehichle or something? If i have agents who i want to stay in contact with they have to be subscribed to my com limiting me in that way ? What if i stick an agent in a vehichle, he cant go anywhere do i have to keep him subscribed? Or could i cut him loose and then when i need to talk to him subscribe him. I guess its like turning the wi-fi on or off on your devices? How do you get a vehichle to have a response,system, firewall, signal attribute?? Install a comm or something? *edit* Oh pilot = system for vehichles/ drones/ agents. So how does a vehichle get a response or signal. |
