Personally, I would have made it EASIER to 'brick', or hijack, or otherwise mess with equipment (as in a complex action to pull it off), but have the equipment recover automatically in a few passes as it reboots and restores from backup. If the afflicted user wants his gear back online faster, he can spent actions to do so.

That is a big part of what I was getting at before - actions with brief but meaningful affects that can be done without concern for setup, merely for locating a valid target.
As for the Mission, I haven't read it, but you don't hit DR 3 until stuff like alphaware, and even that's 1 point of noise from having its bonuses not work.
