Botnet and Hiveputer

Both the Botnet and the Hiveputer are Regiments of computers with a hacking bonus of +0 that do coordinated hacks by request. The difference between them is that a hiveputer is a bunch of personal computers wired up for this purpose, while the botnet is a much larger collection of computers used by other people that devote a very small amount of resources to this purpose.

A Hiveputer is destroyed by simply finding the collection of computers and blowing them up.

A Botnet is destroyed by people running virus checkers. 2d6% of the botnet is lost per week.

It costs 15 points for every 10 hacker's-worth of computers in a Hiveputer, or 25 points for every 10 hacker's-worth for a Botnet.
