Hacking Computer 3.2 - SE 206

Description
This mod adds small and large ship hacking computers. It is a replacement for an earlier version of the mod. With new models and effects (a big thank you to Nukeguard for providing the models).

Original:
Hacking Computer


Thanks to Crunch and Sen. Palpatine for providing an update fix for server issues.

To use the hacking computer, simply build it on a grid you wish to take over and the hacking computer will do the rest.

Hacking Computer:
-> Will attempt to hack 1 random enemy block a second.
-> Success Depends on the number of computer components the enemy block has.
-> Will not hack blocks that have been turned off.
-> Red means the hacking computer is not functioning; Flashing means the block is working; Red orange flashes are failed attempts, Green flashes are successful attempts; Solid Cyan means you have completely taken over the grid.

Firewall:
-> Forces any enemy hacking computer to target the firewall block.
-> Has 1000 computers and is very difficult to hack.
-> Flashes when successfully blocking attempts. Blinks faster the more attempts made.

Common Problems:
-> Many pirate ships and cargo ships will turn on and off their programming blocks, timers and antennas. Blocks which have been turned off can not be hacked. **This is intentional.**

Anwsers Common Questions:
-> Yes, you can use the hacking block to prevent hacking, it will take ownership of anything people hack on your ship.
-> Yes, hacking blocks will hack other hacking blocks, and those blocks will then work for you. I've even tested 100 hacking blocks vs. 100 hacking blocks, it works as expected.
-> Yes, building more computers will let you hack faster.
-> Yes, the hacking block must be built on a grid you wish to hack.

Find Hacking Computer on same row as Programming block, and in Progression under Pilot Seats. Or find them in block groups under E-War - Kage

connector or mag lock, no antenna. That just makes it too easy.
Herosir 8 Oct @ 7:51am 
Does this need an antena to transfer info between grids to start hacking?
Raszul 4 Oct @ 3:50am 
would it be possible to have each hacking attempt cost some reputation?
