mmm somehow I think he wanted to know what its effects are, not how to activate it.
BTW I dunno. I thought at some point i heard it makes a clone of you that cyber enemies will track instead of your signiture but I can't be sure.

No thats the decoy software. I'm not exactly sure what the fake ID does either, though I think i can remember activating it, then i could simply enter an ICE and get the item without attacking it (though I think it was a one shot thing)
Edit: I just checked and I was right, it allows access to any ICE node once only and the ICE node is destroyed while you recieve the item it was gaurding (I suggest that it is used on the node guarding the ICE drill in shodans cspace area, as this is the lvl 8 version and will help you get into any other ICE nodes)

Awesome :D That's great I'm gonna use it on level 6. There's a stupid ice node there at the Y junction in one of the rooms that i can never beat. While we're on the subject, have you experimentally figured out what some of the other odd ones do?

I loved the cyberspace idea and execution myself as well. Made for a nice break in the real world action...but a lot of stuff you did in cyberspace would be reflected in the real world, such as opening doors or finding important passkeys and information critical to completing the game.
I agree with the Cortex Reaver assessment so far...amazing idea...but when you actually encountered them in the game they we underwhelming due to placement. I agree they probably ended up being too powerful to let roam free, although towards the end of the game I'm usually so heavily armed it would be a welcome challenge.

What odd ones? If you mean the ones in the list I posted, they were never implemented (as far as I know at least) so there is no way of telling what they do.

Surely by that point you there wouldn't be much else worth finding in C-Space, or even accessible (the other terminals having been destroyed).

lol, point taken. There's only 2 ICE nodes in shodans domain, so i guess the lvl 8 drill is useless if you use the fake ID on the other node
