Hello
Not sure it is not intended (and I post in the right place then), but I used Trojan(reprogram) on a garrison access. A few turns later a friendly carrier was dispatched. Great !
But I was a bit disappointed : this carrier was not in my allies panel. I could not control it. Is it normal ? Do I just get "friends" (like occasionnal derelicts in mines) when using Trojan(reprogram), and not allies I can control ?
Then the bad surprise : once a programmer finds me, my """"friend"""" drops ... an hostile programmer (so a second one).
A strange friend indeed. I can imagine why technically it happens, but... is it intended too ? I would say it is not.
It seems quite usual, if I consider this post

Laughed a lot about this story from Reddit (spoiler):

Hi r/cogmind! Bought the game on steam about three weeks ago and already racked up almost 60 hours. No wins yet, haven't even survived past -3, but having a blast.
not sure how to hide spoilers, but I suspect everyone who's going to read this is already familiar with what I'm about "reveal":
found the dataminer a while ago and learned about trojan hacks, didn't really play with it much until yesterday when I tried the one for garrisons. erm... so out pops an ARC, yay! We head into the garrison together, and I think you see where this is going. First robot we come across, I take a shot, the robot takes a shot, the ARC unloads 4 more robots that are hostile to me... hilarity ensued.
So, bug? Working as intended? Am I really meant to somehow lose the ARC following me around like a puppy before it can disgorge its cargo of hostile murderbots right on top of me? I mean, I can think of some niche methods of taking advantage of the situation (all high-risk, low-reward. So meh really), but I was rather expecting the hack to be more useful at the outset.

Yeah this is intended, not a bug, otherwise reprogram (or other forms of Carrier assimilation) is just way too good (and it's already pretty awesome xD).
Dammit, my plan to dominate the world 0b10 is impaired
Good to know, thanks !
