Hi, I have thought of a new "clasification" of matrix programs. These
are "stealth" programs. The idea being that a high level program (4 or higher)
creats signifigant system load when run. This is overcome by some internal coding
designed to "hide" the program in the backround of the system.
Here's how my idea works so far. stealth mode programs are availible starting at
rating 4. The rating points are assigned to eather stealth or the program function. you
then calculate the cost of the program based on the cost formula for that program, but you
do this twice, once with the programs funciotn rating and once with stealth. this reduces
the cost of the program. You figure size of the program normaly.
The mojor problem That I have with this system is that I can't figure out how to
make a program with no stelth cost less or =to one with rating one stealth. This is only
a problem on the black market as a decker doesn't like to be noticed. In the corp world
its okay if they know what your using.
