Summary0028611: A method to assert temporary control over mechanical units/vehicles
DescriptionThe vulnerabilities we used initially have been patched out, but there are always more security holes. It'd be neat if we could exploit these too, if only for a turn or two at a time.

Potential methods:

1: There's a hacking stat in the game already, it could be an android ability relying on that
2: A specialised android/vehicle
3: A consumable 'item' unlocked by a building dedicated to finding new exploits (high computing cycle cost?)

Uses:

1: Simply taking control of an enemy vehicle or mech for a turn or two during tense combat, or moving it away before you even initiate combat
2: Using them to hit someone else in a false flag attack to spawn retaliatory units (much like in the first combat)
3: Switch their loadouts/temporarily disable certain equipment
4: Maybe you can't gain full control but instead disable them for a turn
TagsNo tags attached.

This one should be obvious is already on my worklist, given the "Robotic Compromised" stat, and the fact that you've never used the hacking stat on your units. I already have it planned out, just give me time to get there! Some of it is probably coming today or tomorrow, even.

Oh sorry, I wasn't sure if the hacking stat was meant more for events!
