So if I wanted two hackers I can make one with 12xp from the specOps menu for 10 points. If I wanted another hacker I could get a single wardriver correct? If I chose the wardriver with the defensive hacking device would he get the same bonuses for activating a console as the wardriver with a standard hacking device?
Playing USARF I'd never take hackers, unless you really think they're of extreme importance both for the mission and for your game plan. Even then, a Foxtrot will probably save you more orders via his deployment skills than the Hackers via their specialisation skills( most objectives are out in the midfield, and you need to walk to them).
