Good day, and TIA.
I have some questions about linking devices with the purpose of hacking.
1) As far as I can tell, as long as the devices stay near you, they are part of your PAN and so you have no limit to how many devices you can link.
2) Normally you'd link a Commlink and a Cyberdeck to form a persona with all 4 attributes. You can add a RCC for drone control purposes (and then probably use the RCC's defensive stats). And you can add in extra devices such as an Agent Box and a Decoy Box. So far, it seems workable... RCC/Cyberdeck for the persona, Commlink to run a Personal Assistant, Agent Box for the Agent (and a Drone Master program on the Cyberdeck allowing the Agent to control one drone with Autosofts that are on the RCC).
3) At this point, I don't see why I can't add 10 different Program Carriers... and then each PC adds another program slot that I can use to run a program. But if this is legal, what's the point of the program limit on the other devices, if I can just increase it so cheaply?
So, am I missing some rule somewhere that limits programs to only being run on the devices that you're using to form your persona? Or some other rule that limits stacking Program Carriers (or other Commlinks, though they couldn't run Hacking Programs, or cheap Scratch-Built Junk RCCs that could at least add room for a lot of Autosofts)?
