Quantity of accepted Missions should be limited

[Triadian]

I've already included this in the new update.

Update is imminent now, here is a small list if you're impatient about it:

- players over a certain power will only be able to accept missions from secret servers
- Remote malware, you will be able to choose the number of hours to use in a remote attack, from the available remaining hours.
- Robber Baron AV will be changed to a chance based system, to be detailed in the update news.
- there is a new mission called "Kill the Baron", where you will be sent to destroy RB virs on a player gateway. Well payed faction mission. The story is that the faction detected the HPD leak, and you are sent to patch it. You'll be using your own RB AV, and will have to crack the IP yourself. The faction will only provide you with the IP and FW / PW protection info, everything else is up to the player to do.

And other PvP related things... all the details will be on the updates section.

Wow exciting! 
Looking forward to it...KILL THE BARON!

But they take hooooooooours to install B0
Should make for interesting gameplay (yay!)

It's good you added more about the baron, I always thought the fact you steal the money from factions was just an excuse to explain where the money came from, yet the factions corps dont seem to care much other than negative rep

Maybe once you get a certain amount of negative rep with a faction, you'll start seeing more anti-hacker missions on you...

Emi... Regarding the Kill the Baron...

I agree that it should be possible to kill them, but Install times/AP should be reflected in this.

I don't want to loose my 5000 AP/300 Hour install to someone who spent a few hours getting a lucky hit on the new random based system.


edit:
I do like Delta's post regarding killing BW that results in the like-wise reduction of income.  Outright killing should be like other virii, granted should not take months to kill... 

I can see that I'm going to comeback from scout camp with all my virii gone, all my servers destroyed and I'll be back at zero... 

[ãłþħά-∆9]

Also it's gonna be really bad for my main gateways, all my servers have barons going on them, and i'd hate to have my main hacked and all processes killed by some nub who accepted a mission, mostly to do that... hm

Emi... Regarding the Kill the Baron...

Ofc it will be balanced to reflect the difficulty of installing / removing the Baron. "Kill the Baron" is a very difficult mission. I didn't put all the details in here, but if you want to look at it this is it:

- Robber Baron AV is chance based:
- Robber baron AV takes 5h for each vir V 0.1 to disinfect.
On completion, there a small chance to disinfect.
The higher the RB version, the less chance to disinfect.
The higher the AV version, the greater the chance.
Cost: 100 AP
Base chance: 5% - 0.5% for 0.1 V of RB, +0.5% for 0.1 V of AV, min chance 5%, max 50%

This means, it will take on average 100x20 = 2000 AP to disinfect a Baron V 0.1 with the 5% chance.
For higher level RB, you need a higher level AV. Also, chances are modified by RB version and AV version as you can see.

Basically, it needs a very good player to do the "Kill the Baron", it's a very hard PvP faction mission, as the victim can respond and track the mission runner / change IP, etc. It's basically PvP with a twist...

good idea

Emi: make ist so!
