Spoiler for 2072 players…please do not read on!







I am creating a drone whisperer and the 50BPs I have to spend on resources are being rapidly eaten up on vehicles/drones leaving program load out as a secondary concern (apart from command, ECCM, and encryption). This leaves me at risk of cyber-attack if someone spoofs/hacks a drone and ends up being routed to my ‘link.

The character will be in VR for the majority of the time so they should be on hand to monitor their node. Rather than attack progs etc, would it be possible to trigger a data bomb (if they detect an intruder) and then shut down the ‘link (routing drone control to a secondary emergency commlink)?

Would this be too slow if the node is compromised (VR IPs of 3 at the moment vs. a hacker with 4+ potentially). Is there a significantly better way of protecting the drone network? I will be running encryption 6 which offers some protection…

Anything else I’m missing or another good way to solve this problem? I aplogise if this has been discussed before...

Thanks
