ratings due to my cloak/browse frames. After all, compare the load on a frame
like that to IC or a decker. Hell, even a guying turtling to earn his paycheck
generates more load than a simple smart frame. What makes frames so load heavy
is that they keep talking to your MPCP. Also, the cloak program is designed to
hide right? Maybe it gives false load ratings back? Or says the loads in a
different place. I dunno, I'm using a design I lifted a year or so back.
I have it just highlight stuff for me when I go in personal, cause I
used to have it burst-transmit it to a data chace, until I came there one day
and found a small Matrix army waiting for me. They'd traced the burst signals.
So now I go in personally to get it. Also, I leave these frames running for up
to a month at a time. The idea is that they look for stuff of interest so that
I don't have to. Sitting down and browsing can be boring, you know.
As for the Trace, I don't know what you're using State side, but here
and in the South East Asia regions, Trace IC doesn't use your id, it actually
follows the data pulse going back and forth. It doesn't look for your ID in the
pulses, it looks for the id of the corp, and sorts out the legit stuff so it
doesn't clutter. That's why sat links tend to stop it (the corp tag changes to
that of the satellite).
Thanks for the offer of the beer, Moon Dancer, but I'm in the middle of
nowhere at the moment, and getting out is kinda akward. Have one for me
anyway.]<<<<<
