> TYPES OF NODES
BACK TO TOP
ENTRY
- REPRESENTS THE USER'S ENTRY POINT INTO THE SYSTEM
DIRECTORY
- THE MOST BASIC NODE.
- USED AS A CONTAINER FOR OTHER NODES.
- PROTECT OTHER NODES BEHIND IT BY PARENTING THEM TO IT.
FIREWALL
- FIREWALLS ARE MORE DIFFICULT TO HACK THAN OTHER DIRECTORIES
- PROTECT IMPORTANT NODES BEHIND FIREWALL NODES
ROOT
- VERY DIFFICULT TO HACK.
- HACKING PROVIDES THE USER WITH ROOT ACCESS PRIVILEGE.
- ROOT ACCESS PRIVILEGE MAKES HACKING ALL OTHER SYSTEM NODES EASY.
- PROTECT VERY IMPORTANT NODES BEHIND THE ROOT NODE.
> MODULES
BACK TO TOP
DATA
- CONTAIN WRITTEN TEXT FOR PLAYERS TO DISCOVER.
- SELECT THE NODE AND USE THE MODIFY BUTTON IN THE HOTBAR.
- A PROMPT WILL APPEAR IN WHICH YOU CAN TYPE OR PASTE.
CONTROL
- USED TO REPRESENT DIFFERENT OBJECTS THE USER CAN INTERACT WITH.
- DIFFERENT ICONS AVAILABLE, BUT ALL WORK THE SAME WAY.
- GM CAN MODIFY THE CONTENTS (LIKE A FILE) TO DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE NODE IS USED.
SECURITY
- INCREASES THE HACKING DIFFICULTY OF ALL OTHER NODES IN THE NETWORK.
- THE BONUS PROVIDED IS BASED ON THE TIER OF THE SECURITY NODE.
- HACKING IT WILL DISABLE IT AND REMOVE THE BONUS PROVIDED.
- MULTIPLE SECURITY NODES DON'T STACK.

ALARM
- WHEN TRIGGERED, ACTIVATES AN ALARM.
FEEDBACK
- CRITICALLY FAILING WHEN HACKING THE PROTECTED NODE TRIGGERS A FEEDBACK
- CRITICAL FAILURE IS FAILING THE HACK CHECK BY 5 OR MORE.
- A VIRUS IS INJECTED INTO THE USER'S SOFTWARE.
SHOCKGRID
- WHEN TRIGGERED RELEASE A NOVA OF ELECTRICITY THAT HARMS THE USER
- FIRST DISCHARGE WILL BE IN STUN MODE.
- IS ONLY TRIGGERED AFTER A NUMBER OF FAILED HACK ATTEMPTS ARE DETECTED.
- ONCE TRIGGERED, WILL DISCHARGE IN LETHAL MODE.
LOCKOUT
- LOCKS OUT USER FROM THE NETWORK
- IS ONLY TRIGGERED AFTER A NUMBER OF FAILED HACK ATTEMPTS ARE DETECTED.
- (TODO) TRIGGERING LOCKOUT WILL NOT STOP THE SIMULATOR. THE GM SHOULD DECIDE WHAT HAPPENS ONCE LOCKOUT IS TRIGGERED.
WIPE
- WIPES THE CONTENTS OF ALL DATA NODES IN THE NETWORK
- IS ONLY TRIGGERED AFTER A NUMBER OF FAILED HACK ATTEMPTS ARE DETECTED
> SPECIAL
BACK TO TOP
SEARCH
- A SEARCH ENGINE NODE.
- PLAYER'S WILL BE PROMPTED WITH A KEYBOARD TO PROVIDE A SEARCH TERM.
- ANY CONNECTED NODE WITH A NAME OR CONTENT TITLE (EG. THE TITLE AREA INSIDE A DATA OR CONTROL NODE) MATCHING THE SEARCH TERM EXACTLY WILL BE REVEALED.
REVEAL
- SHOWS ALL OF THE HIDDEN NODES IN THE NETWORK.
DIAGNOSE
- IF THE DCS ARE NOT VISIBLE TO THE PLAYERS, HACKING THIS NODE WILL REVEAL THE DC FOR ALL NODES IN THE NETWORK.
TRACE
- WHEN TRIGGERED, SENDS A WARNING MESSAGE AND STARTS A COUNTDOWN.
- WHEN THE COUNTDOWN REACHES ZERO, ANOTHER EFFECT IS TRIGGERED.
- BOTH THE WARNING AND FINAL EFFECT CAN BE CUSTOMIZED.
RUNE CIRCUIT
- LIKE A DIRECTORY, BUT REQUIRES A MYSTICISM CHECK TO BYPASS.
SPELL GEM
- ACTS LIKE A SHOCKGRID TRAP, BUT THE EFFECT CAN BE REPLACED WITH ANY SPELL GEM DESCRIPTION.
- PROVIDES AN ADDITIONAL ACTION WHEN HACKED THAT ALLOWS THE SPELL GEM TO BE REMOVED.

SKILL
- ADD A SKILL CHECK NODE FOR ANY OTHER STARFINDER SKILL.
