Anslem_Vry Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Do you think it would be possible in game to, with the correct skillset, to hack in to an organisations space station and gather intel/other info. Also do you think there would be a way for a space station to detect whether or not it is being "hacked". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marax27 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 First of all, that would require long-distance communication between DPUs (which I hope will appear in game). Secondly, an organisation should store their Very Important Data on such DPU (it would be safer to store them on, for example, external website). Moreover, if long-range communication is possible, it won't be reasonable to apply it to your ultrasecret DPU. The best way to protect data is to keep them offline.

GrandMaster Apex Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 it may be that certain tech could be built such as encryption and hacking tools .. the higher the encryption tech the more chance of automatic detection and prevention of hacking and of course vise versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shynras Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Before asking if hacking informations will be a thing, you should ask if informations storing will. Warden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaximander Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Chances are any important documentation will be held on a person's PC in real life.Now, if we were to hack a Core Unit in order to extract authorisation codes, that would be a totally different thing, but still, it would extraction of intel in-game.If it can be done stealthily, even better.

ShadowLordAlpha Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 It would be cool but you probably won't get the best of information from ingame things as like twerk said most of that will probably not even be ingame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMaster Apex Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 by Intel, I imagine confirmed things such as being able to see container storage items ect.. that we know need permissions or "powers" to be viewed, it may be that 2 rival merchants go into a turf war in a zone and enlist the use of a merc to gather intel on their competitor to try and get an edge on the market ect .. (just a very simple idea) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymous Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Decent cyber warfare capability would be something I'd love to see. What's Sci-fi without some sort of computer based character. That said - you're also dealing with quantum computing and advanced AI's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
