So, I've been meaning to ask this for a while, but only just remembered:
What hacker actions require mutual signal range? The book says "most do" and then never mentions it again. I would say anything that requires feedback requires mutual signal range, so things like sending commands to your drones would not require it. Does this pop up somewhere in the rules, or is it really a house rule thing? |
