Why "instead" ? If you need or don't need to say exactly which programs works, that is also a distinct argument to if having (or gaining) HD should be considered to also get the Characteristic or not. I agree that who have or don't have Hackable Char* doesn't change that either all echos is or none are. I agree with @xagroth and @inane.imp arguments based on the Morgana example. If the original trooper has the characteristic, all echoes have it. And if he does not, no one has it. *and this is my only disagreement.
Because a Hacker knows which programs are usable against a particular target. The 'Hackable' being open information is badly written but a clear attempt to say that Holo hides what you look like not what you appear to be quantronicly. And yes I agree that we're going to have to agree to disagree because it can't be resolved outside of a FAQ or IJW weighing in on it.
Missed this one. Oblivion doesn't target troopers with Comms equipment: Blackout does. Oblivion targets HI, REMs, TAGs and Hackers.
yep, I went and searched in the forum, and found we already had that discussion and it was left unresolved; and will surely stay unresolved until a faq or ijw comes in.
