Im sitting here reading the forums after a 6th firewall ive hit today without a null fuse handy revisting old threads and ive come to wonder why wont dan fix some aspects of hacking the firewall itself is well a crule joke to someone who half there defence is staying off the BT to take away there cloak so anyone and everyone can see there weaker ship and beat them to scrap? thats just unfair at least make the firewalls like a halcyon where we can hack for a bit and they cant be null fused just for balance.
Also ive said it before a few times why the heck is a successful hack alerted to the target i mean yeah they should know who did it so next time they see the player who hacked them in the BT they can get there pay back but hacking is a high risk low reward style i know dan made it so you can take planets and that i can under stand if the target got to have a shot back at the hacker but a normal hack? it just gets responded to by massave badge farming theres been a few times ive even been legion alearted just so everyone could get some lower risk badges for a hack.
So to sum it up at least make hacking worth it i know the cypher bot is a stab at it but its still not worth it a hackers ship is still just a candy wraped badge farm for any combat based players

See those little non-letter, non-number dot looking things on your keyboard? They're called punctuation marks. They come in very handy, sometimes, like when you want to convey a coherent thought...

evidently you're in the low levels where everyone retaliates bigtime for even being single-badged

.......when you grow up (to the level 300+ range) you won't be retaliated against so often..... rather, you'll be randomly badged throughout the week... some weeks it might be the same person everyday (only because they're always getting you on their BT over and over and over again) and some weeks it might be just one or two random folks....

why do the lowbies overreact so much about being badged?

and lycan im in a kind of low rank im nearing rank 200 and i still get retaliated relentlessly for even a failed hack.
And while im on the subject why do i even they even get a chance to retaliate with a normal hack? do i drop my cloak and flash my interstellar license plate in front of them after a normal hack? I can understand giveing them a opening if i took planet data but normaly? Thats just a little unfair that even if i dont get research from them they get to respond by attacking at all.

+1

+1 best idea on this topic yet.

~.~ bloody figures a grammer troll gets more attation then me trying to point of a major flaw with one of the major parts of gameplay just because i have problems with my spelling and what not......

Well.... ur this post here just proved that he's not a troll....
And this was mentioned over and over (and over)*99 and over, so we definitely have more comfortable places to talk about it then this "thing."

A-They could actually understand what I was saying.
B-Nobody said anything about your spelling
C-I gave up on your idea when I was completely confused after the first run-on sentence.

I agree there are some things about hacking that need fixed, but sounding like Six LeMeure doesn't allow anybody to really get what you're suggesting.
