Thought: Exile should be a ubiquitous hacking program. Overlord/Total Control should not be.

So basically you streamline and strengthen the AHD, and streamline and broaden the DHD, and then you start putting DHD profiles in the game. EVOs give you supportware which is always running, and can stack with DHDs. So if your random dude gets targeted with Spotlight, the DHD applies a -3 penalty. If your hacker gets targeted by Redrum, then the DHD applies a -3 penalty and Kaleidoscope does too. But also obviously kill the DHD and the EVO and the network falls apart.

Basically I want to be encouraged to take a variety of hackers, and to be looking at what hackers my opponent has and figuring out the weak point in their infowarfare systems so I can break down their defences and start exploiting their unprotected troops. That'd be badass. But it also needs to be streamlined a lot in terms of program options to make this a system which is not stupidly and intimidatingly complex (but actually only has a few definitely better options within each option stream, like Redrum being just better than Skullbuster etc).

Regardless of how exactly we get there, this is what I'd want to see happen overall.
