This game looks interesting but I just saw the word "Javascript" and... ugh. Am I going to end up writing a gajillion nested callbacks?

I'm still in the tutorial, but is that a real db? Or is there a provided in-game one? Please don't tell me you can hook your scripts up to an external program.

I spent an unreasonably long time in the tutorial trying to decipher the meaning of the long string I got, not realizing that long string was already the final answer and I was just supposed to just message it to the tutorial character :doh:

I just escaped the tutorial. Explain something: why would I ever want to PvP hack? My understanding is that hacking another player gives away your loc in the access logs, so aren't you just screwing yourself over? And if I keep my money on my alt account, can't they find the loc of that anyway by breaching the PvP account and exposing the transaction logs?

What are the risks of hacking NPCs that are not fullsec? I'm guessing I'll show up in the access logs for the next person to breach it? Doesn't this mean that everyone's loc eventually gets out even if all they do is hack NPCs?

CountingWizard posted:

Not all npcs stick around once breached, but if they do and someone else exposes their log, you can get a player's loc from it. Then once the player account is breached you can look at the log to get an npc loc that probably contains a log with the banks loc in it.


I'm unclear about the logistics of this. So a breached NPC that sticks around will have the locs of players who accessed it in their logs. If that player is breached... it would have an NPC loc, you say? What NPC loc is that, and why would that NPC have my bank (I assume that's slang for my alt that never engages in hacking) loc?

Okay, I seem to have no idea how to PASS a scriptor to a CON_SPEC lock. So if I run name.conspecscript {s: "foo", d: 1}, it returns the correct value. But when I actually call npc.loc { CON_SPEC: #s.name.conspecscript }, it just gives me the "provide a scriptor" message.

Did something get hacked outside of the few established rules?
