Any faction can have wiretap, alter logs, ISP, rollback, wipe, encrypt logs, frame, arrest, murder, 0-day, and more. No matter how “against” or “for” Netsec an ability is, the ability can be in any role. Be creative!
You can use disorganized murder, desperate measures, and any time gated ability from the first day.
Plea deal does NOT exist mechanically from Agents. Moles can spawn from day 1.
Almost every role has the ability to unskilled attack and/or hack, including field ops roles.
Hacking changes significantly, instead of winning on hack, Netsec or Agents can gain intel upon hacking specific nodes and/or layers. This will allow for both factions to dictate how they want to play, hack heavy or less hacking. Hacking target node grants intel instead of winning the game for Netsec
Download intel and other sources of intel can include:
Subclass
Faction
3 roles, 1 in play, 2 not in play
Remaining number of a faction (e.g. number of Netsec remaining)
An action that was done last day
An action that was done last night
The next layer that has intel
A node that has intel
Who hacked a node/layer
Target node
Cameras on any role do NOT get seen by other roles with cameras.
Escort and Fake Escort can only select the same target every other day.
Cover Your Tracks leaves a notification that the target was unarrestable.
ISP/Jam Network can be used to block DDOS, rollbacks, and other abilities.
DDOS is globally announced again.
Review Connection Logs also makes you immune to Jam Network for tomorrow.
Impersonate allows you to rename your operative to allow for a 50% chance to target either operative. Troll Operative allows you to change another operative’s name.
Ask the Right Question gives the operative’s hack chance too.
Doxx works similarly to default Untrusted.
Every player is immune to every third general occupational ability (Midnight Meet, escort, interrogate, ISP/Jam, etc).
Review Specialization checks subclass.
Speech Analysis checks if operatives can win together.
For the Cause hunts moles.
Wiretap checks for vote power and whether a player is forced to vote another player.
Review TCP determines if you hacked or not.
Frame, cover, and ability pool can be selected by the player rather than forced randomly.
Voting can be silent, shown, or forced.
There are abilities that can use Broadcast that aren’t Operation Leader.
There are abilities to manually upload intel for others to download.
Agents can be arrested when framed. Yep.
Only Journalist will know who tried to arrest them.
Root does not instantly lose or win the game. All roles may choose to become the faction specific Operation Leader or stay the same role with broadcast.
The Operation Leader may not be Netsec aligned. The Operation Leader slot may not spawn.
The Agent Leader is now an offensive subclass role. The Agent Leader slot may not spawn.
There are many other changes, but these are the critical ones.
