**Check:** Most normal computer operations, such as using a typical consumer application or doing research on the Grid, don’t require a Computer Use check, though doing research may require a [[Research (Skill)|Research]] check. Additionally, many public access computers run Assist programs that allow the user to act as if trained with a small number of ranks in the Computer Use skill. | **Check:** Most normal computer operations, such as using a typical consumer application or doing research on the Grid, don’t require a Computer Use check, though doing research may require a [[Research (Skill)|Research]] check.

- | More complex tasks, however, including hacking of any sort, programming [[Shadows]], and so on, require trained Computer Use checks. [[Grid|Gridrunning]] and hacking are covered under [[Computers]], but less complicated uses of the skill and uses that don’t involve the Grid are covered here. | + | More complex tasks, however, including hacking of any sort, programming [[shadow|Shadows]], and so on, require trained Computer Use checks.

- | Routine communications like hailing a nearby ship or operating a [[mass transceiver|mass]]– or laser-transceiver, are accomplished with a Computer Use check (DC 10). Operating a [[Stardrive|drivesat relay]] and other, more complicated transmissions require checks at DC’s of 20 and above. Sending a transmission is a move action; operating a drivesat and other complex function require full round actions or longer. | + | Routine communications like hailing a nearby ship or operating a [[mass_transceiver_equipment|mass]]– or laser-transceiver, are accomplished with a Computer Use check (DC 10).
