Since I did it for Yu Jing I thought I'd d the same for my other army. There are BIG differences though. This is not easy at all. First of all how do I split them up? I'll try to do it the same as the YJ.

Remember it's not who is best. They all have uses.

Light/Medium Hackers Of the three I like the Noctifer most. All have the same WIP but the TO camo and -3 BTS is really good. He's cheaper than the Gwailo and not much more than the Morat.

Fast Hackers Never used these guys as hackers. Love them with HMG or sniper rifle. They all seem like they'd do other things better. I don't know if it's a mistake or what bu the Vector operator is ZERO SWC. It's great for that alone. He also has Mimetisim and a L2 Visor as well.

Heavy Hackers What can i say? They are the best hackers but they also do other things even better. All also really expensive. If I were to do an all EI force or something I'd do the Charontid.

Infiltrating Hackers I like the Malignos for the TO and high WIP but the Zerat is cheaper. All Infiltrating hackers have the ability to get close to what they need to hack.

It'd personally have to go with the Malignos. TO Camo + Infiltration + Automedikit = Anti-Hacker protocol happiness.

The biggest danger of using Antihacker protocols is the fear of losing and getting knocked unconscious, but this little guy can recover from it!

If CA had access to Markers the Charontid would be great fun for GML tricks.

He is good but expensive! I think the shrouded is a good alternative. The Noctifer, while not having Infiltration, is also TO and has a good BTS.

Yeah, 35 pts for a TO hacker is pretty dirt cheap. My only issue with him though is 0 BTS. Combined with a WIP 13 makes him a pretty awful defensive hacker.

Shrouded? Not bad compared to others I think. Probably on par with most.

I play Nomads, anything under WIP 15 / -3 BTS is a mediocre hacker

ya? well... mine smell better! um ya!
