Encrypting datapads

These two would be commands, not skills, and probably accessible on all non-basic datapads.

Command: lockdatapad <datapad> <5 digit number>
This encrypts your datapad. It then cannot be viewed/modified without unlocking it.

Command: unlockdatapad <datapad> <5 digit number>
See above.

Level ??? Slicer Skill: hackdatapad <datapad>
You’d use this on a locked datapad to try and break the code. I don’t know if this will tell you the code, or just remove it.

Lock/unlockdatapad are working on my coding port. Pretty simple to work it. Just hold a datapad, and type ‘lock 12345’. This will prevent any datamem commands from functioning (datamem -> This datapad is locked). Use unlockdatapad to unlock it.

It won’t let me vote for some reason…but, I like the idea..The only reason I can see giving the hacking slicer the actual code is in case that person uses the code over and over again in their ship and so on…*shrugs* I’d say just make it unlock and skip the step of them then having to put the code in

Wouldnt let me vote. Great idea, I agree on the it should just bypass the lock, when you pick a ship lock does it give you the code?

do want

Well good news folks all 3 are stable and working on my port. Tomorrow I’ll clean up the messages a bit and submit it to Rojan for addition to the main port.

CHEER

lockdatapad 12345
You lock your datapad. The code is 12345.

datamem
This datapad is locked.

unlockdatapad 12345
You unlock your datapad.

lockdatapad 12333
You lock your datapad. The code is 12333.

crackdatapad
You begin to crack the datapad’s security key.

You were able to successfully crack the datapad’s security key!

Could there actually be feat that would show you the code itself (or there is a random chance you see it) ? Knowing the code could become useful.
