DWAINE..zards.

[Spy_Guy]

And here's why I think there needs to be a big reveal:

Chemistries know-how benefits you greatly and it's pretty clear, but TermOS seems all smoke and mirrors to me. It's a big secret, but I've never seen someone do much harm with it.
I can do very basic TermOS/DWAINE, the kind explained on the wiki, and a bit of ArtLab. But the stuff that's deeper buried I don't have a clue, and it seems obvious to me I'm not alone on this. I'm completely baffled by the pinging system. I feel if people knew what kind of destruction you could potentially cause on the crew, then more people would be trying it out. More people hacking through computers/doing cyber terror happening more frequently can only be a good thing.

You can also use it to control the guardbuddies, call and recall the shuttle without commaster and mess with telescience.
...

If you ask me, "big reveals" are just called for by people who have no clue what they're doing and want instant gratification. A change actually went in that's made su-spoofing so much easier nowadays.

Except nobody touches it because all they see are these strange, arcane terminals with letters on them and can't be bothered to find out how to use them. There are very comprehensive guides on the wiki that got me started down the road of spoofing shuttle call / recall requests. The rest was all applying pre-existing knowledge and trying to work out a solution.

DWAINE is unix-based. Find a guide on it and read up.
Use the help command and it'll tell you that you can use it with a parameter to find out more about a particular command.

Do you want to mess with packets? Go into tech storage, plop the packet sniffer down, then just do stuff to DWAINE and see what packets get sent.
In short, instead of complaining that the more advanced applications of DWAINE are impenetrable, spend the time actually learning how to use it.

For every person spending their rounds in tech storage poking at DWAINE there are at least five sitting at the forums complaining about how difficult it is.
