OP hacking

[KimmyG]

I have said it before but ill say it again.

Here is my Op idea.

Give ops an anti-hack sheild and have it so you need to upload a virus wich you would have to buy for a good chunk of money. Have it so you need a good hacker (a real good hacker) take it to the op and upload it.

Then a time gets set when the hack sheild will go down that boths clans know about so both have time to prepare for the attack, also have a certain time the hack sheild is down so if the owning clan can defend it for that time sheild returns. Plus have a limit on how often a clan can attack OP. Finally should the defending clan loses the op they cant retake it for a 3 days.

End Ninja hacks, end hacks when 5 people are on and ensure better op fights. Make sure people defend if they care about the op and end the attitude fuck we will take it back later.

Very good idea, sorta like Shadowbanes Bane Circles which
works very well.

The only thing I could find was this (http://neocron.jafc.de/showthread.php?s=&threadid=81781&highlight=hacknet) thread but its in
german, is there any other info someone who can like
translate?

To get back on the subject. Let me explain first;

In Shadowbane there are something called Bane Circles, the
basic is that in order to attack a town you have to place a BC on
it first, and it takes a while to go active (dont remember exactly
but I think it was 72 hours?) which leaves ample time for the
defenders and the attackers to get ready for the assault.

The system works very good and make for VERY nice battles, it
also makes battles really worth something. And people can make
small changes to their schedule so they have time to fight (do
homework before or whatever reason there may be that these
kiddies can never attend :p).

It would also be very easy to implement into the Neocron worlds
logic. As KimmyG said, you could have a slow working ice-breaker
(Kuang Grade Mark XI Neuromancer style :D) Which after a long
times haxxoring opensup the core of the OP, and then you have
to get a hacker(s) there in order to finish the job and really take
over the OP.

The only drawback I see is that it makes OP wars a little more
scarce, but they already are, so I think this would only serve to
make the few OP wars we have alot more interesting, and you
could launch several of these hack attempts so there could really
be any number of OP wars, its just that people would be warned
that they were comming, without having to make appointments
(which is both silly and feels damn wrong. "We, your most hated
enemy, have decided to come and take your territory and ravage
your women. Please come and defend so we dont just waltz in
unchallenged")

[KimmyG]

Yea not bad there rade. It would make them more scarce but I would rather have less good fights the loads of bad ones.

The only people that would vote NO to this need some screws re-attached.

This would make the game SO MUCH BETTER its unbelievable.
