I'm going the coder/hacker route with Sieges's brother, and I wondered just what are the best stats for a coder?
Good stats for a coder?

Nothing in the game mechanics describe any influences on coding from Attributes (stats) under CR2.
Proxy or Utility Coder?
For Proxies, hacker stats (Reason and Belief), for Utility Coder, MA stats (Belief and Focus).

Personally I think Utility Coder is the more deadly tree. Viral and Ballistic defense/resistance is easy to maximise with certain trees and therefore means Proxy is a bit stuffed, especially as You can run hacker defense/res along side other buffs. Whereas MA/hacker is not so easy to buff against with attributes, and if you find yourself not successful there so much, make a patcher daemon, they'll heal you and hack/shoot your target! I can't really see a disadvantage, although I am still in the process of trying the tree out.
Nope, not right now Alpha. Not since the hacking AI is totally screwed up and they won't use attack hacks unless they fricken stop freefire. And no, they for *messes* sake won't stop freefire.

Personally I see most coders go for ballistic attacks themselves while their sims IL, therefore I would say to go for Perception and Focus, gunman stats...

Yeh I noticed this when I got to Logic Daemon 2.0 and used it ¬_¬ although I have seen the same problem with NPC hackers in missions too. I wonder when it happened, something went wrong the same time as the whole interlock issue and stuff maybe?
I dunno, but I *CENSORED* well hope they fix it. For now I will have to stick with patch daemon looks like.
EDIT @ Tenshi: yeh another popular combo is also Proxy (MA or guns) + hacker as the proxy coder tree boosts hacker attributes. So you get your sim to IL then reel off a LC 2.0 or something
ouch.

ouch.Really, Coder is vastly underrated when it comes to PvP, particularly in one-on-one settings. Used correctly, it can be pretty devastating. Logic Daemons aren't walks in the park.

Logic Daemons aren't walks in the park.I've been tinkering with it on Morrae (even found a clever way to work it into the RP), and I've found that several viral attacks do an incredible amount of damage. Well, on spawn, anyway, I haven't been able to test it out on another player yet.

Proxies are also fantastic for the mission grind. They make fighting sooo much easier!

Proxy Masters have various viral attacks they can use, so it would be best to take advantage of them. Perhaps if you sunk the rest of your points in Focus to get a respectable Ballistic accuracy, or dropped some viral damage for more Focus. But you should work on getting your viral acc and damage pretty high aswell.

Sry Mave!
I've seen MA with Coder do pretty decently as well. Especially in duels (of course) with a rather annoyingly placed patcher sim that runs in and deletes all your upgrades while you're in IL with the Proxy Master. But that's more of a hybrid load.
