What I mean is that if this feature's only purpose is to allow another player to watch your gateway then it's abusable.

For example: people can give admin rights to a group member in another timezone who will watch the gateway when they're offline. This'll make it only harder to perform PvP actions.

this scenario could easily be prevented by the admin rights only working after 24hours offline time

I don't think so really, some processes can't be killed on remotehost such as virus installs or uploads, so if someone was to watch your gateway using admin rights, they can only do so much such as closing delete processes or downloads, so it sort of balances itself out, Ive tried letting people in my group crack me to finish a download before, it just doesn't work most the time, you can't rely on people  21

I don't know about that but if i had a Download Password Protect [Complete]
Someone can then log in to my gateway hit complete and finish it for me, because i've done it, then stole what they downloaded ;D

Uploads however are a different story
I think only downloads work like that

w/ downloads you have the file you are just completing it

w/ uploads the gateway would need to re connect to the victim server and w/ u doing it it is either them or the victim

I'm pretty sure I've finished someone's research in the past round...  and had to pay for it.

Might also be quite exploitable with multiple accounts.

No more exploitable than dropping defense, cracking it in 5 minutes and putting it back up, all it's doing is skipping the defense dropping part

Yeah, but you can't use one account to complete another account's research, thereby violating the ToS by using one account to benefit another, etc. That's what I'm talking about.

Oh, that wasn't an idea or anything that was just Brok lying about logging into someones servers and paying for their research
(either that or the game was lol in round one)
