I came up with this idea during our last session, and we all cracked up.
Originally, I just said: "Have a drone, have an agent with command, infinitely copy the agent, and viola! Inifnite attacks per round!"

When I got home, I looked up the rules, and I think this would work with a few reservations:
1. Each agent using command requires a subscription to what it's commanding.
2. Each agent needs a different ID if I want to run them all from the same node. Let's just forget about this though. I can patch them with a one week extended test, have them access the drone from various nodes, or just load them all onto my persona.

So here's the plan:
  • Get a drone. Upgrade it to response 6, or add modular electronics, and then upgrade to response 6 (I think we're still arguing over whether this is necessary in a different thread).
  • Get pilot 6 for the drone (max active subscriptions = pilot * 2 = 12).
  • Get a rating 6 agent.
  • Crack agent, and copy into 12 agents.
  • Load all agents with R10 command, optimized R4.
  • In combat, each agent commands drone to fire, resulting in 12 shots per IP, 36 per combat turn.
