Hi all,

In SR3, LTGs, RTGs or PLTGs hosted systems providing a external iconography of the hosts in its section of the Matrix. These upstream-providers persisted external imagery of what you "saw" before you accessed the target host. Since there are no Matrix Service Providers (MSP) or upstream-providers for Nodes how's this done in SR4?

Given you have to login directly to a Node, you take-on the Nodes own Iconography or provide your own Reality Filter. I think some Nodes would allow connecting Nodes to "pass in" their external visualization data else, you'd only see the Node you currently occupy. Like independant islands, Nodes and Systems may or may-not allow connected Nodes to share their external Iconography.

I'd assume, public-data-hubs would have lots of public-nodes to help sustain external iconography while bouncing from Node-to-Node.

How do you handle (or explain) external VR visualization of players (in Node) surroundings?

Thanks,

~GTT
