I've never known that much about drone rigging since 4th came along. Things have changed quite a bit, in part because of wireless. Wireless hacking has changed a lot of things and hacking to get control of a rigged vehicle/drone/system is now an interesting goal to have.
Question is: how would you build a drone hacker? Of course you need a ridiculously good comm, and all the counter-counter-measures you can put your hands on. Plus a bunch of high-level programs, and some decent hardware and stuff like that, on top of hacking skills. You could have a few drones too, but not too many points will remain if a character is to be focused strickly on hacking drones, which has to be done on site, within signal range. Has anyone tried that before? I was wondering because it crossed my mind that such a character could exist, but I'm not that great at building a hacker/rigger and I wanted to run this idea by people who might. |
