Hi,
This is a bit of a ramble in terms of thoughts. One of my concerns is that Technomancers when built right have an immense possibility to find out anything. I mean anything within moments. This leads to the question of secure information. The attacker in Shadowrun always has the advantage - even against the most robust system in the game. Now, how do you prevent your technomancer from becoming God? What is the function of secure data or even infiltration of a secure environment if he or she can in a moment penetrate the system through the electrical mains. As a GM the "no you can't" doesn't cut it. Then we have to have some very exotic security precaution, such as based on a submarine which surfaces once every six months for a data download/upload. You can't use encryption since it is easily broken, you can't use obfuscation since technomancers can sift through billions of data better than google, the technomancer can track every commlink and break it open. Do corps start writing things down on paper again? |
