Hacking!

Late

So this is hacking, basically you place down a hacking station, You will send either an object that sticks to the enemy ship and disables the thing you choose or you can do it without the object but that will take longer, How to prevent that? Well there will be a security station that will disable the hacking from the station and your crew will go to the object that's sticking to the ship and they will try to take it off, once it's off the enemy's ship will shoot it until it's deactivated

Late Mabey a hacking station can only have one hack thing at a time, and it slowly chews through different parts, disabling them with hacks?

The counter would be to:
A ) disable parts adjacent to the hack. The hack will die if there is no parts to hack, and it can’t hack disabled parts.
B ) Security station
C ) Out of range. The hack station needs to be in close range to the target ship to function (like, really close)
D ) Have the hack station destroyed
E ) Unplug replug! (I.E. turn off a hacked part and turn it on again and the hack will be gone)

Some similar ideas below. I think some kind "cyber warfare" room would add a nice aspect to the game.

The only way to Hack another ship would (logicly) be by sending a Drone to the part you want to Hack. Because there is no network that connects all of the ship systems. You could say that the Control room does that. But i think that every Crew member has Cybernetik implements that allow them to recive orders.

ECM, hacking or whatever name it will eventually go by sounds great, but how to implement it without it being too OP or too easily countered and without invalidating electro bolts? Actually sounds really hard to me

Maybe a microwave gun to stun crew might be a better alternative later on down the track?

My thoughts on hacking should interfere with crew movement (disable doors and reverse moving walkways) and at higher levels disable rooms entirely but can only affect something for 1-3 seconds.
This kind of thing would be passive hacking and is always occurring

Active hacking uses drone like missiles to reek havoc with system controls (overloading reactors, faulty ammo that randomly blows up in the ship, and so on)
