I'm just generally confused how these go about working. If anyone could give a bit of a rundown or clarification, I'd really appreciate it. I get the general idea of it allowing hacker support but past that I'm kind of stumped.
Stop terrorizing my cheese!
Okay:
1. EVO Repeater counts as Repeater.
2. If you have been successful hacking an enemy AD L3+, andyou have an EVO Repeater on table, you may alter enemy AD trooper's landing point (from where he'll determine Dispersion).
3. All your AD L3+ troops get +3 PH on drop attempts.
4. All your SatLock attempts get +3 to WIP.
5. You can spend a Command Token to re-roll a failed Hacking roll (analogous to retaking doctor / Engineer rolls).
6. You can use any of the EVO Support Programs.

Oh, so there is passive and active support. Alright, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks Errhile.

Don't get too used to it, though.
We were told that once HS N3 hits the community (which, some claim to be coming at the end of the month) the EVO Repeater will be no more, replaced by an EVO Hacking Device. Thus making the EVO REM a form of a hacker on its own. What will it be able to do apart form being a Hacker, I sincerely don't know...

Yeah, HSN3 should be bringing a lot of changes to EVO Repeaters.

As it stands at the moment how do you interpret point 5. ?
The FAQ states something like 'reroll a hacking attempt regardless of its burst value' - I take that to mean you can reroll all 3 dice on a B3 hacking attempt using one command token.

I would interpret it literally as "reroll all the dice in that hacking attempt".
If it was Burst 3, re-roll all 3 - and no, you can't keep one of them that gave a decent result and re-roll the other 2 hoping for a Crit. You do reroll all of them or none at all.

Potentially very nice with Assault Hacking Devices. Not so much with the HD and HD+ which typically have B1 or B2 programs... but still, it's nice to have additional chances when you really need to get that hack to land.
I'll be interested to see what the new version of EVO Repeater does. Personally I quite like them as they are for their utility with AD units (especially Meteor Zond)
It can't be that attractive unless the WIP of the robots gets updated - but if it does what the N2 EVO did and provides additional programs to other hackers, that could make it very attractive again.

I doubt. It is a trnsition-time solution, a temporary measure.
In 2ed, Evo Repeater did provided the +3 drop bonus (and some other bonuses regarding AD L3, which was the best back then) - but there was no Assisted Jump program for Hackers.
Now in HS N3 it is to become an EVO Hacking device, a different kind of thing alltogether. I seriously doubt if it will be lending any programs to other hackers on table - as for now there is no Hacking Device that would be doing so...

It would be as simple as, for example, the EI hacking device getting extra programs, or Zoe getting an additional program for her hacking device.
It's basically the way the EVO hacking device used to work - providing all hackers with support programs.
They could even remove the restriction on allowing co-ordinated hacking orders.
I can think of all sorts of nifty stuff.

Care to write a summary of the vid?

I posted in the Blogger HQ, as I am not familiar enough with N3 system to really understand what will change. :/ I hope we could publish a summary on the blog is someone is willing to.

You can contact Alkasyn or me if you have a draft

This was our previous N3 week coverage.
Perhaps that can be of inspiration. http://www.data-sphere.net/n3-human-sph ... ts-of-war/
