The Hacker Project - a free online game

Well ; instead of the actual table ; why not :

When v1.0 defense is reached ; it adds + X minutes for every 0.1
AND the cracker adds - X minutes for every 0.1

Or/and when the user has X CPU and Ram ; it stops working in the current way ( +5 mins p/ 0.1 max 60 mins ) to the + x minutes per .1 ( starting at the 0.1 )

Let me explain with a example table

V/time
No/5
0.1/8
0.2/12
0.3/15
0.4/18
0.5/21
0.6/24
0.7/27
0.8/30
0.9/33
1.0/36

And the crack removes the following amounts :
V/- time
0.1/-2
0.2/-4
0.3/-6
0.4/-8
0.5/-10


BUT ; you need a minimun hardware for this formula to works ; while your hardware is noobish , the system would works at the actual way ( for both the atacker and the defender )

because of the wide gap between the upper players and the rest of the game that won't be implemented.  The Cap is there for "balance"

See similar suggestion (and subsequent shoot-down) at http://www.hacker-project.com/forum/index.php?topic=506.0 (http://www.hacker-project.com/forum/index.php?topic=506.0)

for high level player it takes -5 minutes to crack someone with no protection (the cracked it before they even tried...)
