For some reason, I'm unable to get my team's hacker to do any VR hacking, except when Probing the Target (and then only for the time bonus).
I know there's apparently some way to get some 5 IPs out of hot sim, and there's that +2 bonus to Matrix actions, but with the lingering threat of dumpshock and Black ICE, Wired Reflexes 2 seems to be "good enough." I suppose a way to show how nasty a full hot sim hacker can be would be to have him get online-murdered by someone with 14 dice and 5 IPs who hacks his commlink and starts loading Rating 6 data bombs on all his programs (command>load analyze.exe >> WARNING DATA BOMB DETECTELKAJSLKFjaskj1230Acarrier lost //// system restarting WELCOME DAVE // command>load defuse.exe >> WARNING DATA BOMB DETEALKJALDIJFALIJFALIjcarrier lost). No one plugs the cable into their brain anymore. I'm sure this happens to everyone... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) |
