I like the idea of structure and bank hacking, but not OCD hacking… and I’ll tell you why people responded to that so negatively @RexXxuS . It’s because several seasons ago you told people that their OCD would be sacred, that continued play on HWS would allow people to accumulate wealth. Many people took you at your word and have invested a lot of effort into that. You are reneging one of the reasons (for many the largest) that people play on your server and not others. Hacking a bank account is one thing. If you wanna play with that, I think you’d get good feedback honestly. The moment you say OCD though you are going to get pushback… and I refuse to pay for OCD insurance. =P

If this was to become a feature, I would have to create an alt account and buy it OCD level 6 in order to hide my stuff.
Agreed though, people shouldn’t be crass with negative feedback. Sorry Rex.

Lol, lol, can someone translate Rex plans to Russian?
I like the idea even OCD hacks can work if you maby say only 1 slot can be hacked a week and maby just make thats its a random slot. would be devastating if 30+ player hacks you at the same time. So allow but limits. Love this alternative way we can play and would make it more interresting…
Love seeing new fresh tools on HWS. So many things happen here. My only issue is any change to something that a person spent real world money on , say OCD level 5. Is sort of a disrespect to them. They buy something only to have it changed on them. Other than that, I say bring on the New season and lets see how things go. At the end of the day it’s only pixels,

Id be modified if someone hacked my 1000 can’s of veg. 
Like Booyaah said hack bases 
Would we be able to hack the hws bank???
Guess who i am gonna hack first 
Also could I hack a structure at the hws garage for 60 seconds and steal a ship? Or hack someone’s base and set it to public?
OCS and bank hacking wouldn’t be worth your time @RexXxuS. Me myself, I would empty OCS and bank credits into cargo boxes in pve then the skill would not work against me. The structure thing is cool but bank and ocd is too far. If this were to happen then no one would ever donate for eb lvl 3, or ocd 5. How about a skill that disrupts enemy vessels like an emp or something

That can perhaps temporarily prevent the creation of a stable warp bubble to borrow Trek terminology. Say 15 mins til you can spin up the FTL and escape those frackin Cylons - to borrow BSG terminology.
Hacking peoples bank and OCD are ridiculous ideas. Money will be converted in some way and stored in PVE. Similarly OCDs will be emptied and stored in PVE. They would not be filled until seasons end. These two items are a main part of what makes HWS unique in Empyrion. If they are hackable then they become much less useful and therefore less of a pull to HWS servers. Talk about a dis-incentive.

Hacking Bank Accounts and OCD
I don’t like this because some of us have WAY more to lose in our OCD than others, and while it is cool because it introduces an element of risk, it also introduces an element of losing hundreds of hours of playtime.
Hacking Structures
I’m with Supreme Admiral on this. Let players hack HV/SV/Base, as long as said structure fulfills certain conditions first.
This would 100% take care of the anti-griefing issue, where people place decoy bases down and we spend hours digging them up. Now, we could walk along, find this unarmed base, hack it and then recycle.
This would allow people to make complex base designs, where people might have to actually spend time breaking into them in order to hack it. If you combine it with making people have to manually access constructors and such, you would introduce a whole new element of players on foot pvp. We shoot off all of your turrets, break into your base, hunt you down, get within XXX of the core and then finally hack it.
