Hosts are virtual-reality nodes that have one or more Artificial Intelligences avatars. With the proper program, the Netrunner can leverage those AI to:

  • Enrage AI: go rampant on the system, attacking ICE (raising alarms)
  • Conscript AI: follow the player and attack hostile ICE
  • Subvert AI: AI will roam interesting nodes and perform support actions.

The best way to implement this is to have a base AI object which is neutral and static (at most changing position in the same Host node to emulate activity). When a program is run, it replaces that AI avatar with a specialized Drone that is defined in the same file as the program, inheriting from Avatar.

A player should be able to mostly rely on Drones as a play style, especially on later levels.
