Feature request: Chaos mod, or CHAOS in command channel to give lower level gear when hacking
Sometimes you WANT low level resos, and have only high level portals to work with.
Would be nice if there were a mod or command channel glyph that would let you pull lower level items out of high level portals.

Let's say that each "chaos" glyph in the command channel lowers the portal output by 1 level.
So if you glyph a P8, put in 2 chaos glyphs in the command channel, your output would be as if you hacked a p6 (but still need the 5 glyph sequence of the p8)
I would definitely approve of that
Not to sound derogatory of the idea, because there's lots of potential for extra command channel glyphs (mods are a bad plan), but how hard is it to find low level portals?
Most cities are filled with 50%+ greys these days, so building a portal without fully deploying is easy to achieve. If I'm building alone, I tend to deploy 6 resonators, hack a P4, then apply the rest and on a later pass get P5 gear out of it.
I've a local P7 farm, I let three portals (with rhs) decay to P6. With the R8 from the P7 (and hacking the odd P8) I usually don't run out of R678.
With less than 10R4 I deploy 876655, glyph and then deploy the R4.
With the rehacks to get enough keys I end up recycling R5.
I would prefer if it became complete random (from lv1 to current portal lv).
I solve the need for low lv reso keeping my personal portals at lv4. This prevent rival faction to travel far just to destroy a farm.
