i know the adv. hacking is the uber hacking but what dose just hacking do, let you hack?

DramaticFanatic · 2003-10-13, 08:52 AM

It lets you hack terminals, vehicles, CCs, and the like. Without it you can only hack doors........I think.

i think that is what adv hack dose i want to know what normal hack dose

Regular only lets you hack vehicles with doors/ccs moveing alittle bit faster, it isn't very useful without advanced.

No hacking dert: Can hack doors, and CC (slowly)

Normal Hacking cert: Can hack Cert terminals, implant terminals, lockers, medical terminals. Doors and CC hack faster

Adv. Hacking: Can hack any terminal, with the exception of the matrix terminals. CC and doors hack faster, as do all the normal hackable objects. Can jack vehicles, empire specific ones taking longer then common pool.

If you really want to hack and be satisfied with it you need to just go all the way to adv. hacking Otherwise you are wasting 3 certs.

Adv hacking hacks towers about as fast as someone with no hacking hacks a door.

Yep and I cant tell you how many times I have been killed the split second I complete my hacks. The time you save can make all the difference. I would say either commit 5 points for the ability to hack properly or spend the initial 3 points on something more usefull

If u hack a CC with normal it takes about a minute with Hacking it takes about 45 secs with Adv hackin it takes 30 secs.

They never should havce changed it. As it stands, and has been said many times, there is no reason to get just hacking right not unless you are going for adv. hacking.
