Hacknet Private Eye?

[Glok]

I'm thinking of making a Hacknet/Melee PE (so not totally useless outside hacknet)

What should I be looking at skilling aside from hck/tc/xray?

I know Phoenix and many 'enemy' DBs will be mostly inaccessible, that's fine.

Hmm just read the guide over at THN looks like this char will be fine for my purposes... and I accidentally set it up perfect for HN too (near equal base enr/xray and lots of hlt) then I can chop things up when the HN bugs of all kinds get to me. A pure HN spy can come later, mainly when shit works properly. ;)

I did consider a hacknet PE for it's extra CON, but the main thing to remember is implants do not work in Hacknet.

So since you cannot go above INT 60 on a PE, you be stuck with the INT 50 0.2 attack software or the INT 60 1.1 attack software, which is a bit bugged.

As for PvP... pass.

Yeah no imps... so I specced 116 hack, 125TC, and the other stuff, then the melee portion for outside HN is largely imps. PvP? Hm, she needs a clan tag 'Dead Meat' :lol:

You know what would be nice? If the WoC Int +1 item was hacknet attack software.. :o

you know what would be better? if they actually rebalanced hacknet completely. I really dont feel like explaining now (since the explanation would take to long for where Im at right now), but hacknet needs some balancing done.

I tried the HN PE a while ago, and it totally sucked. Not only was I unable to use the highest TL HN software, but i was a total gimp outta HN. You could possibly spec such a PE to have good resist but thats pointless unless you can do a difference in HN, wich you cant.
You dont even resist too good, 1-2 hits from a capped HN guy and you die.
Pretty pathetic.

I think im oging to come back soon, and I'd like to know... whats the deal with the hacknet? Is that where a majority of PvP takes place these days?

[Faid]

The only hacknet pvp that takes place is when the fourth hacker logs off next to the terminal at an OP then logs in to tag it when layer 3 is down, he may get shot by the defending HN spy but usually not before he tags the pedestal :D

Ive had a pure HN spy for a very long time now and Ive only ever run into an enemy hn spy (by enemy I mean an anti city spy cause im pro) two or three times I think.

Hacknet PvP only happens at an op war...

Agreed. The gain in CON is not worth the loss in INT/DEX.
