The Hacker Project - a free online game

I believe you cannot control your group server to accept missions. You can only use as a NPC server that you can upgrade the hardware and change IP and password.

No it is right. There are 1024 bytes in 1 MB, 1024 MB in a GB and so on.

I think overloading is completely reasonable. How else are newbs going to be able to crack secret servers halfway through the game?

Besides you get a 33% version increase for a  100% resource increase every level so it is a good trade off.

Yes.

It is the highest 32 bit number. I think should be 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 like in space odyssey. Probably Sir Emi never thought someone would get to 2 billion power.

Well since we now have remote malware, a consist malware bombardment would cripple any virii farm. If you make the virii target mega-corporations, then you could make missions like the Kill the Baron rewarding players for disinfecting private virii farms. Along PvP missions and the IP dealer no server can stay hidden forever. So I do not see any real danger in just making it unlimited.


Well I do not lose interest because I still need to do missions for AP. I do not lose interest because I have to still keep up with everyone's software while researching better software. When was the last time we had over v1000 software?

I mean why can't we have nice things?

I do not think there should be a limit because a couple malware attacks and you would be done for.

Which skill?

QFT.

It updates every hour. That is why it says "Ranks and power are updated every hour."

Well for the record I did not stop any of your processes because that is hitting a bee's hive with a bat.

I think we should start out with 20 secret servers and add 4 per day with increasing hardware and protects. If this started at the start of this round we would be up to 928 secret servers and that would be enough for everyone and then some.

I also would like for the secret servers to have static ips again so that installing virii on them actually is more worthwhile and so that it is easier to do missions on for newbies so they do have to recrack them every 2 months.

Personally I think the game is too balanced and this hurts newbies more than it helps.

Looks great Sir Emi! Cannot wait until it completed! Of course I have some questions.

1. Like bonds, do these mature at some point and the principal is paid back?

2. If so, what is the par or face value of the bonds? Or what amount of HPD will I earn if they do mature?

3. Since bonds are liquid cash equivalents do they count toward your power score?

4. What are they weights or formula to determine the effect of the market variables on the bond price? For example if I complete a recover codes mission or cause 1,000,000 HPD in malware damage how much will they bond price change?

5. On large buy or sell orders, what is considered large? 1,000? 1,000,000? 100,000,000?

No just a button for number tasks you want started like we already have for research.

Join the Cub. So much hard work just does not go unpunished.
