Infinite Dark - Hacking (beta)
Added 2021-01-15 13:00:04 +0000 UTCFollowing the excellent suggestion that hacking ought to feature in Infinite Dark as it does in the other Horizon Wars games, I originally posted these rules to the Discord for Defence Mech patrons to comment on. My thanks to those who sent me private feedback on the idea. I've taken that into account and made some adjustments that are included in the draft rules below.
A vessel may add the ability to hack opposing ships by taking the EW Suite ancillary for 1 stat point.
A hack test may be performed in lieu of a shoot or board test. In either case, the active vessel uses A, not F, and the target’s A is not added to the range. Each success on a hack test may do one of the following:
- Remove one shield
- Reduce speed by up to -1 to a minimum of 0
- Change heading by up to 30°
- Alter the target of one torpedo launched by the target vessel (to any vessel)
- Alter the target of one skirmisher launched by the target vessel (to any vessel that is an opposing vessel to the skirmisher)

Literally what Mr. Data did on several occasions in TNG, sounds good!
