Machine Sprite, Replicating Options

[lowendz113]

So the machine sprite can get an autosoft of your choice. If you choose replicating, it can make multiples of itself right? In the description it says that these copies can be loaded onto other nodes to which [it] has access. So does that mean you can basically have one machine sprite multiply itself a bunch of times and have it control several drones?

I'm going to assume that the dupes would all still be the same sprite so all commands would draw from the same pool of tasks owed. Though strictly speaking, they are all different, and if one were to be killed the others would not die. So I think the point might be debatable. And if you assume that all the commands come from the same pool, can each version of the sprite act independently? Or does each command get broadcasted to all of them?
