COMPUTERS

Computers in 100 PF weren't as powerful as the modern day versions in the Alpha Dawn/Knight Hawks rules. The mainframes were larger in size and had smaller memories, and programs took up more memory space.

As such, it is very easy to max out a mainframe computer when creating the specifications compared to normal modern day grade stats. Because of this, multiple linked mainframes may become neccesary to accomplish what a single modern mainframe would normally do. In order to interlink multiple computers, a Bureaucracy program will be needed at a level equal to the number of computers linked (of course if a higher level Bureaucracy program is called for to link several programs, the higher level program will apply). If more than six computers are needed, a second program must be added after the level 6 program is utilized (re: you must have a LVL:6 program and a new program for additional mainframes, rather than using a level 4 and a level 3 program). The Bureacracy program must be loaded into each mainframe that will be linked, hence if two mainframes are linked each must have an individual LVL:2 Bureaucracy program loaded.
