Well Pilot programs are just like agents
Well, very similar, at the least. Pilot programs are designed to pilot something, and Agents to work the 'trix. The differences, from a software stance are academic, and their mechanics are quite similar. Still, running multiple Agents on an RCC would run into the same problem as running them on a 'deck; cannot run to identical programs. So I would think Agents would have to have different ratings, thus further diminishing the overall usefulness of the tactic.
Just my .02¢
actually Praetus you can run identical programs on the RCC, to a point.... how else would you get 2 maneuvering autosofts for 2 different types of drones running at the same time? granted their not
identical because you need to have them made for the drone they are supposed to control, (roto-drone, steel lynx, dalmation, etc) similar to how a r1 agent is
identical to a r6 agent in every aspect aside from die pools.
the question remains is that difference in die pools enough to make the argument that they are different programs? I'm unsure as to that.
and yes i know im basically doing a circle on myself with this comment...... but meh
