Title: Small modification for a more noob-friendly environment
Post by: sovietpride on June 28, 2008, 01:36:44 PM
Now, the current problem is that ANYONE at the very beginning can break into anyone else's computer.

0.1 attack >0.1 defence.

This leads to severe frustration as some peopel just want to be mean and delete/kill all processes, even if their targets in question were simply dling improved defences.

MY suggestion was originally: make it like hiding files. 0.1 defence > 0.1 attack. However, this would have lead to severe wierdness about the servers.

Therefore, im wondering if it is too much to ask for beginners to start with a 0.101 (or something perhaps a 0.106) password/firewall protect. Or in fact, just start with a beginning firewall/pass word protect that is higher than the beginning firewall/password breaker.

I know this does not address the uber-strong hackers from still wrecking carnage, but one step at a time? =/

thoughts?

Servers could probably get .09 firewall and password prot.  It's not like downloading the starter servers' firewall or pw does anything right now.
