Okay, I'm a hacker looking to boost some of my programs beyond rating 6. I want to make sure I understand what's involved. I'm primarily looking at the Optimization Code option from Unwired. As I understand it:
I have to code it myself (makes sense) I can buy the option Optimization at rating 6 (it's described as an add-on) or any other option (like ergonomics) as long as it's not better than rating 6. That means I can create up to a rating 12 program and then just add on the options that I bought. I have to keep patching it myself or get someone I trust to do it. Also: I can code my own Firewall (I'm not sure what limit this obeys. I don't see it tied to Response or System, so can I upgrade it to whatever I can code, because I don't think I can optimize it) I can code my own OS System but it's limited by Response so it'll max out at 6. I can build my own Hardware beyond rating 6 but there's no cost listed so it's DM's call. Thank you for your help. |
