The Hacker Project - a free online game

After some testing it's not really viable, it uses too much hardware, too much AP to install a decent version of it, and has a low chance so it's completely useless against private servers.

Suggestion:
Add remote leech ability, hours would rack up and you can remote activate it like a malware, the percentage will be lowered slightly and it'd have an AP cost to compelte remote leeches (unlike local ones)

Thoughts?

This way it could be used more like a LAN scanner, to find other gateways owned by the same player.

I've managed to get some pretty usefull private IP's.
Are you sure you've explored all of the leecher's capabilities ?

I've had a few v6's on secret servers for a while now, so far i've got unlisted IPs from it and nothing more
 :21:

I agree with Alpha.  I was really hoping this would become a viable option versus the IP dealer. 

I was actually hoping it would replace IP dealer entirely.

Me too (I actually suggested it).
And it can ... if AP cost were a little lower and the chances a little higher.

But it's not as useless as you say it is, that's why I'm still wondering if you guys had figured things out yet.

I think the IP dealer needs to go. That's me, though.

Install it on the Group server and see what it does  :17:

Care to enlighten us?  I think I'm missing something that maybe you've figured out?

refuse to give us an ip?

Oh, I'm guessing it'll start passing out IP's of anyone in the group.

if you give it enough time

On our own group server or an enemies?

If its an enemies then its still the same problem of having the time to let it build up without them just changing IP, especially when it only costs HPD

OK, it might a spoiler but I guess anyone who wants to will figure it out soon enough, so here it goes: you actually can install a leech on your own gateway and it'll spit out other players' IP's.

But it would require a little tweaking of AP cost and succesrate before I'd remove the IP dealer.

lol, it says so right there on the update post

Nice one termul, whoever you are, apparently i'm blind-sighted
Now no more IP dealer, ftw

but it needs more %
