Elan is on FIRE and has knocked out another massively requested feature: Crew Hacking.

For all hackable terminals, a crew of hackers can now jack into one shared grid and breach it together. Solo hacking efforts remain unchanged.

Command syntax:
HACK CREW OPEN <terminal> - open a crew hacking operation on a terminal's grid
HACK CREW JOIN - join a crewmate's hacking operation in this room
HACK CREW LEAVE - leave the crew hacking operation
HACK CREW STATUS - show a roster with each member's attempts and contributions
HACK CREW START - host: send your crew into the grid; booted member: jack back into the grid of an ongoing operation
HACK CREW CLOSE - host: cancel an operation before it starts

How it works:
- Your hacking crew will share a single grid. As each member explores, the map and uncovered password letters will fill out for the full crew. You'll also be able to see fellow hackers moving and destroying ice in the grid.
- GigaOps and ability cooldowns are unique for each hacker.
- A member forced out of the grid may re-enter while attempts remain. The number of available attempts depends on the grid.
- Hacking XP for a successful hack will be divided across the group based on contribution.
- Your crew will be notified when a member is forced out or when the
operation as a whole is won or lost.
- Override reward software cannot bypass a cooperative grid.

Other changes:
- Passwords now have a potential to be truly random letters on upper level grids. This applies to both solo and crew hacks.

More to come! As always, please submit a BUG if you notice anything wonky with this new feature.
