Title: Robber Baron Post by: hdemandant on September 25, 2009, 09:54:27 AM How do we calculate each version of the robber baron?
What is the highest version of the robber baron you can activate using a non-gold account? (sorry if this has been asked before) hdemandant Title: Re: Robber Baron Post by: Triadian on September 25, 2009, 11:19:15 AM How do we calculate each version of the robber baron?

(sorry if this has been asked before) hdemandant there is no highest for any account Title: Re: Robber Baron Post by: bontrose on September 25, 2009, 02:13:09 PM :12: :surprise:$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Title: Re: Robber Baron Post by: Exousia on September 25, 2009, 04:24:18 PM Technically Tri is correct, however, due to AP limitations, without purchasing additional AP or gaining additional AP from voting, a non-gold can install a v0.3 and a gold can install a v0.5.
Mind you, these limitations are purely based on available AP. There is also a limit on the quantity of Barons which one can install. We have two new software types: Robber Baron Virus Robber Baron Anti-Virus The software has been discussed here: http://www.hacker-project.com/forum/index.php?topic=1535.0 Robber Baron Virus specs: - Can only install one software of this type on a single server - version 0.1 collects about 1200 HPD per hour, 20x times more then the File Share - resources to run are 30X more then the File Share - 2.5% of the collected income is converted into negative standing for the faction selected in "Software" page under "Virii Settings" -> To switch target faction in "Software" -> Virii Settings -> Target faction: new faction -> Change Setttings then Collect - Gold accounts can hold up to 30 installed virii of this type. Regular accounts can hold up to 15 installed. I do know someone who has a v1.0 installed, but that took quite a bit of work and AP collection via voting and donations.

1.48 * 10 * 1500 = 22,200 BW * .8 = 17,650 HPD per hour * 24 = 423,600 per day Lots of $$$ If I recall it was around 950 AP per .1 to install so ~14,060 AP to install. It also takes ~54 hours per .1 to install so ~800 hours Title: Re: Robber Baron Post by: Exousia on September 25, 2009, 09:09:09 PM Yes, it just gets prohibitively expensive, but it's theoretically possible to research and install any version.
Title: Re: Robber Baron Post by: Triadian on September 26, 2009, 11:49:10 AM with decrypt missions giving more AP than they use - there is now no limit to how much AP you can have i have at one stage had 50,000+ AP not sure what level Baron that would allow me to install but i know that donations are not needed anymore
Title: Re: Robber Baron Post by: Exousia on September 26, 2009, 07:25:12 PM I haven't been doing decrypts, Tri. :laugh: You'd get a v5.0 out of that, I think. :12:

Title: Re: Robber Baron Post by: gs 059 on September 29, 2009, 07:21:27 PM either buy a bunch of ap, or do missions to get more...

Title: Re: Robber Baron Post by: Brok Ironfist on September 30, 2009, 07:01:43 PM of course you have to have several hundered gb of hard drives to make those Nope, only 92 GB. You research it and once complete your harddrive will look something like 1362/92 1480.4% filled. Just can not download anything new onto that machine until you buy more space. But then you don't need to worry about someone trying to dump a spyware overtop of the robber virus.

It's not like it's all that expensive to tack on a few 100 gigs of HD either.
I don't think the "run" command or the "complete research" commands bother to check for HDD, just everything else. Title: Re: Robber Baron Post by: bontrose on October 01, 2009, 05:33:53 PM uhh i dont trust it to abuse it ill just buy the hardware
Title: Re: Robber Baron Post by: Exousia on October 01, 2009, 06:56:42 PM Never know. Emi might change it so that virii won't work if the hardware is overloaded. Then a lot of people will be up the proverbial creek, as it were. :13:
