Yeah, malignos assault hackers are legit gold - expensive but they can do a lot of work. Don't forget they also have Oblivion for Isolating creeps!
Any other sweet Aleph tech? And while we're at it, how would you handle a superior hacking force? IE; Nomads this weekend. Zond pitched a Repeater across the table. Then an Interventor came out of Cybermask, killing Kerr Nau and a Nexus bottom of one. *Hijack*
I imagine they were out of link? Kerr Nau in a link is pretty much unhackable. (Sixth sense from the link plus the -3 from the tinbot also from the link make it a very bad idea to try to hack him, really. Especially when he has that program that give him both +3 to his wip and -3 to the oponent.) And honestly... I just don't think trying to outhack nomads will ever work. Just shoot their dudes! Most nomads are 1 wound punks, they can't handle firepower. :D
