Trix usage @ rollout - suggestions
« on: October 14, 2011, 05:50:16 pm »
We understand that you can not create a parallel engine/environment for console jocks to battle corporate ICE etc, but you can give them a roll to play in physical encounters - using closeby jackpoints - hacking into camera systems, or gaining other info for mission planning, over-riding security measures, and of course walking away with data as a mission objective, or as a commodity to sell later.  The really high end jocks are the ones that would go up against the big-corporate counter-hackers, in the fully sculpted-systems, so np introducing that later, as advanced play.

d* .. so much potential coolness!

this is actually exactly what we are planning- we want to parallel their actions to shooting, so unlocking doors, live-hacking enemy aiming systems and other ware they may have as well as preventing alarms from being raised is all part of the job description...

Funding limitations in mind, I think it would be pretty cool to have a dual system of matrix usage. The first being as suggested here which would be an "on-the-fly mode". It would be used to disable surveillance cameras, pop maglocks, disrupt AI aiming, order a cup of coffee, etc., while on the move.

The second mode would be sort of a more in depth, research mode. This would be used when Deckers/Hackers aren't actually on a run. Here they they would experience an environment akin to the matrix we saw in the Sega Genesis console version (possibly) where nodes visually manifest and can be interacted with. This is also where Deckers/Hackers might find a little extra paydata while preparing for a run as well.

If fiscally feasible I'd love to see a two mode system akin to this. It would probably all but seal me playing a Decker/Hacker.
