There needs to be some kind of in-game communication possible within Telem for coordinating systems across dimensions. Each computer attached to a peripheral can directly output its metrics to whatever local display it wants to, but having a home base that collects everything in one place is going to be important.
The input adapter would be a very specialized design as it needs to listen to events in order to collect them. The output would work like a normal output adapter, just screaming metrics into the void.
The input adapter sends requests to output adapters. The output adapters listen for requests.
Design notes:
Should modem inputs overwrite adapter? Strictly speaking it should, but I think it makes more sense if it preserves the remote adapter and source names. Maybe prefix adapter? If remote input adapter is chest_1 and modem input adapter is storage_terminal, the final adapter is storage_terminal:chest_1This has been implemented at the Backplane layer. For every input adapter that passes through cycle(), every metric will have <adapter>: prefixed to its adapter property.
Secure Modem has been implemented with ECNet 1.x for the time being. I am planning on releasing a beta version of this adapter while I work up updating to ECNet 2.
