The only real clues we have are from Morris, SHODAN's creator, which we receive late in the game.
And the full analysis that Morris did later, which was featured in the
ICE Breaker hint book. For example: to destroy the shuttle SHODAN designated it a 'communications hazard', which she was permitted to terminate.

Not necessarily:
"The Von Braun is packed with over 1.8 billion flight, scientific and security systems,
nearly all developed by TriOptimum and its wholly owned subsiduaries."
Keypads seem like a rather odd thing to outsource to a competitor.

Maybe they were a lot cheaper than it would have been for TriOp to create a whole keypad-manufacturing division of their own?
rachel on 21/7/2009 at 23:07
I'd say if they do the keypad they also do the hardware supporting it, subsidiary or not. For all we know TriOp only did the software part of the security systems. Given how lousy it is it would certainly match their track record...

I dunno, TriOp's security isn't too bad. They have to allow some systems to be 'overridable' in SS2's timeframe (IIRC from the Processing Rationalisation Act' mentioned in KL's backstory piece, and IIRC it's mentioned in the help text (?) as well).
While you cannot hack any TriOp (presumably) manufactured cardslots you can hack most of the TetraCorp manufactured keypads. I know that's primarily for OOU gameplay reasons but it does suggest that TetraCorp's products are less secure. Or perhaps that they deliberately supplied poor components to their competitors.

I know Koyla has a page up on SBF with the SS2 logs in order.
Is there a similar resource for the SS1 material available?

I can whip one up in a few days. Since, I kind of have to have the logs for my mod anyways. We shall see how that goes. *rolls eyes*

You are currently in the healing suites, located on the first level.

2072 alas. I won't live to see System Shock's futurism turned down, but some of you might. I think it invites an interesting question about how sci-fi writers choose their future dates. We've already passed the beginnings of the Deus Ex timeline. 2001 is long gone. We've passed Blade Runner's 2019. Nothing makes me feel old like passing one of the dates from a favorite sci-fi movie or game.
