The Inevitable Mindhack Discussion Thread

[zcrow]

I was thinking about ways to counter the really stinky mindhack-sec meta on classic. Maybe sec officers could have a lite version of the mindshield, and the mindhack implant works similar to the loyalty implant mechanic. That is to say:

Implant officer. They get zapped and a stun penalty, but are still technically loyal to Nanotrasen. If you wanna get your hands on that level of gear and advantage, you're gonna also have to bash that officer into submission before they turn hacked. That way, the option still exists, but makes it a bit more of a reasonable risk vs reward ratio.
