putting it that way, it sounds like someone could just... smash the electronic lock, ether getting the loot or makeing it unable to obtain and makeing the locker useless, or.... they could just take out the batterys (Small energy Cells), though i do agree that it should have some science skills, maybe even repair skills, but it is still a lock so it should have some lockpicking
Aricvomit:
well the thing is if the lock was smashed or whatever you could repair it, but the smashed lock doesent mean the door or locker will open, just that you inconveinenced the owner of the lock. smashing an electrical lock doesent open doors in real life, you need to hack them to do that.
Farreloth:
I think the ability to open (hack) an electronic lock should eventually be connected to the Lockpick skill - I can't imagine anyone tagging Science just to be able to lockpick certain kind of lock... And I'd say that hardly anyone would make use of this while having Science tagged for other purposes (Energy Weapons crafting etc.)...
Aricvomit:
true but thats the point, in fallout two i believe you needed science to use the electronic lockpick, and that makes sense to me. a regular thief isnt going to be able to crack a high tec lock with a set of lockpicks.
Gnoff:
I've been waiting and wanting this for awhile now, especially for cars so people will actually get and use them because they wont need a key to use it. Make it so you can put the electronic keypad lock on chests/ lockers and cars to replace key locks. Then when it comes to lockpicking said locked containers/cars the thief would need a good lockpick skill along with science but not that much as well as a electronic lockpick espically for cars.
