Pilots and Agents – Standing orders?
Ok, so according to SR4 an agent/pilot understand most orders without any hassle, but what kind of orders can they have? How many standing orders and instructions can you give them? For example – I have a drone I want to stop from being spoofed all the time so I install an agent with Analyze and Command. The Agent has a standing order to Analyze all new orders and request a confirmation from the command node (the Persona) and to use Command on the drone to either accept or deny the order. This way the drone would get a second line of defense since when they become spoofed the order will be double checked by the agent and checked against the last sent order from the Persona (the REAL persona). Unless the attacker has also tapped the signal and edits the information being sent back then he cannot spoof. For even higher protection you could even give the commlink connected to the persona have an agent who talks to the drone agents and that they encrypt the information they send between each other. The question is – how many standing orders can a drone handle? Can I give them a library with instructions limitations and what if’s and do not’s so that they cannot be hacked/spoofed etc at all? Ok, an MCT Fly-Spy with Response 5 would cost a runner 8K before we even start talking about sensor packages and between 9-10K with sensors. The good thing is that you can run 9 autosofts/agents on it and use is a remote node and E.W / Agent carrier. The agents can be loaded as active on the MCT and have legal access to peek into your hacker commlink and monitor the traffic there for extra security. |
