Summary0027169: Necromancer sidekick unable to do hacks that are not specific to the Necromancer faction
DescriptionThe attached save (the same as in report 0027168) is from a multiplayer game where I as the host am playing a Necromancer sidekick. TSR and NA are on; Zenith Onslaught is off.

I am unable to perform any hacks except those ones specific to the Necromancer faction. For example, I cannot hack warp gates. This can easily be tested from the provided save.

If this is intended behaviour for sidekicks, please ignore, but I thought I should flag it.
TagsNo tags attached.

The necromancer has a restricted set of available hacks, since they can farm HaP

I think the issue here is that Necromancer Empire can do such hacks, but Sidekick can't. I'm not sure if that's intended or not.

Indeed, I can do all the hacks as normal as a Necromancer Empire player.

Slight correction- a Necromancer Empire player can do all hacks that are relevant; there are some hacks that are clearly incompatible with the Necromancer model. I wasn't expecting to do Outguard hacks for example.

But using hacking points to blow things like warp gates and eyes is doable as an Empire player. It's only been restricted as a sidekick.

Looks like it is allowed for the Necro Empire, so it probably should be allowed for the sidekick too

Balance wise I'd really say Necromancers shouldn't be able to hack warp gates with their refilling pool of hacking points.

Probably the best idea would be to add the sabotage hacks to sidekick, like empire already has, but remove Warp gates from the hack.
