So for some reason I didn't really pay attention to the rules for Spoofing commands until I was casually rereading the hacking seciton in SR4A.

It seems to me that Spoofing commands is pretty damn powerful. It's faster than a full out commlink invasion and can pretty much do the same thing you'd want to do once inside someone's commlink anyway.

Take the example in SR4A - eject someone's clip. Damn, that's powerful. What if you Spoof Command - turn off commlink? You can shut down the enemy with just 1 action. Turn off drone... Could you even go so far as to send a Get File command - have a commlink spit out a piece of information you're looking for?
