cyberattack defense?

[Eli]

I'm currently well-protected with a Mammoth 50mw. There are some times I have to wait a bit to let it restore, but so far it's good (probably two-thirds through the game now). However, I just barely got away after going through several cyber attacks of drop sheild. How to protect from that?

[Fatboy]

Currently the only way is to have this kind of code in the ship

Code: Select all

cyberDefenseLevel=	"x"

x takes the place of the Level number.

'i' 'b' will counter sh3lds down *once* every little while. Otherwise, simply stay away from certain sung ships:

Sung Citadel -- Sh3lds down
Earth Slaver -- Sh3lds down
Steel Slaver -- Peaceful Constraint

I usually try to engage earth slavers and citadels only in places where there is cover (a planet, star, or large dead ship) to hide behind in the instance of a shield-down. Happily, dead earth slavers make good cover ships


I usually have a jumpdrive, so that enables me to "run away if I need to. With particle reflective sheilds, you can sit on top of the citadel itself


edited to add that you can sit on top of the citadel, obviously, until the citadel cyberattacks your shield. At that point, you gotta run.
