  • If the defender of Hacking successfully backtraced to the source of the attack, offender will get penalties & its operation will fail. (If the hacking and its backtrace were finished at the same turn, both of them are considered successful)

Questions Remaining

[A] Vodyani Ark & Hacking

1. What happens when there is hacking attack started from an Ark and that Ark un-anchors (and moves)?
2. What happens when there is hacking attack targeting an Ark and that Ark un-anchors (and moves)?
3. What happens to the Backdoor planted on the Ark when that Ark un-anchors (and moves)?
4. Will the Sleeper in the Ark still give some info or vision when that Ark un-anchors (and moves)?

[B] Population or Ownership Changes

1. Will the Sleeper in the transport ship sill give some vision?
2. What happens to the Sleeper when that population is converted into Horatio?
3. Will the Sleeper in the spaceport without valid destination still give some info or vision?
4. What happens to my Sleepers when I invade and acquire that system? What about the Sleeper of the other empires?
5. What happens to the hacking operations when the target system's ownership is changed?

[C] Others

1. Will the AIs have doubts when the backtrace was unsuccessful but ended at someone's territory?
2. When I have backtraced the attack and gets to the source, can I discern the attacker even if the attacker used the backdoor?
3. Can I demand the withdrawal of Sleepers/Backdoors?
4. Isn't there any hacking-defense bonus for Ministry of Truth? (something like 'you can't put a backdoor on its neighboring system' or 'increased backtrace speed')
5. Can I steal a technology exceeding my technological era? If not, will scientific party law(Oracle) grant further options to the steal?
6. What happens when several hacking operations on the same target complete at the same turn? Can a government toppled twice?

• Transmigration Beacon
  • Can be placed by hacking a special node
  • Transmigration Beacons are a destructive but effective means of moving your main system at short notice. Placed on Special Nodes, the Beacons act as a special receiver for high-entropic digital snapshots that allow the relocation of the entire system--at the cost of half the population and infrastructure.

    Create a Transmigration Beacon, allocating 10 Bandwidth on the process.

  • You placed a beacon on [Special Node Name]. You can migrate your Home System here.

  • Migrating before the beacon is fully ready may damage existing assets on the Home System.

  • Click to instantly migrate your Home System to this node. All other existing Beacons will be destroyed. You will suffer a Bandwidth penalty of 32(50%) for 3 turns. 100% of your Population and improvements will be lost as the beacon is not fully charged. (Fully charged in 7 turns)
