The Matrix exists in Rifts. This is a post to convert it from 3rd ed Shadowrun Matrix Rules.
I am currently desperately trying to understand the rules
Ways to access Networks in Rifts:
VR gear + Slow Mode (txt/crude graphics only)
Trodes
Datajack uses Cyberjacking skill
Cyberjacking 50%+5% from MUTANTS IN ORBIT, the only place where the best Matrix gear survived.
Passive Rig
Datajack passive amplifiers
Active Rig
Datajack active amplifiers
The Matrix is accessed by access points APs
LocalHost Console
Hardwired: Basic Home
Hardwired: Small Buisness
Hardwired: Large Buisness
Wifi Cell
Laser Link
Microwave Link
Radio Link
Satellite Uplink (very rare must be hacked)
Taps
Master Power Grid/Datawarehouse Connection
APs are operated by a variety of Matrix Operators MOs
They own the physical infrastructure required to make the various APs and systems on the Matrix go.
Every major corporation on Earth and several interdimensional ones operate corporate MOs as do many private and public organizations.
MOs are recognized by a weboftrust algorithm for publicly registered APs or a private ones for less public APs. In this way users can be sure that the AP they choose isn’t a nefarious one.
Accounts are purchased from MOs or hacked out of them.
When a user jacks in, they get a MID Matrix ID which is composed of their account info, Jack ID physically used, and Matrix Network ID given by the AP.
Matrix Networks:
Earth contains many native Regional Matrix Grids from before the rifts, restored. Typically found around the city states with various wifi links connecting them.
They are all themed after their creators, Including
Coalition Matrix (Black and white skulls)
Orange-3 external states
red-5 loanstar/chitown
Tolkeen Matrix (fantasy themed)
city gov orange-3
city biz green-orange-5
Death Matrix (supposedly created by necromancers)
orange-3
Blackmarket Matrix (exists almost everywhere suprisingly, looks very mundane)
red-5
Japanese Matrix JM (1200s japan)
gov red-3
biz orange-5
Columbian Matrix (aztech imagery)
green-5
NGR Matrix
orange-5
Splugorthian Matrix
Phaseworld Matrix
Kreegorhr Matrix
pretty much any sufficiently advanced alien culture have virtual reality computer rig technologies of various levels, GMs choice depending on tech level.
Matrix hacking can result in the following things:
Hardwired system access (cameras, vents etc)
Data Dumps, worth money if decrypted and understood.
Matrix Access Gear:
Deck
Speakers
Harddrives
Display
cables
Rumored cybernetic matrix connection gear
Rumored Programs:
Utilities:
Camo
Crash
Defuse
Doorstop
Encrypt
Evaluate
Mirrors
Purge
Redecorate
Sniffer
Snooper
Swerve
Triangulation
Validate
offensive:
erosion
hog
steamrollers
defensive
restore
sheild
advanced:
browse
relocate
scanner
track
attack
black hammer
killjoy
slow
armor cloak
lockon
medic
Programs can be created or purchased.
p81 creating code in various languages including:
PsiLISP
CSMOD
CyberDynML
ARCHIICOM
NGRMILTEC
MechanoidCrunch
Matrix Hosts:
Difficulty Levels:
Blue
Green
Orange
Red
Host Attributes
access
control
index
files
slave
So each host has
Color/A/C/I/F/S attributes
