Warning: Bottleneck if you spend badly.

Postby WhirlingWind » Mon Apr 30, 2007 4:00 am

I've had to restart the game twice now. Seems this is what happens. I get a lot of level 2 and level 3 missions to start with, no problem. And one level 4 mission.

It looks like if you rush for that mission, and get intermediate level too quickly, suddenly all your missions become level 5. And level five from level 2 or 3 missions is a big leap. For one you need voice analyzer, proxy disable, firewall disable and voice analysis. The trace for International Academic Database is very fast, and that's usually the level 4 or 3 mission that turns you to intermediate.

Maybe I spent my money badly. But I don't think so. I upgraded in increments, got the level 4 log deleter, the cheapest gateway with 2 processors. We'll see on my third try whether the same thing happens again. I won't rush for the hard mission and finish it this time, hopefully that won't trigger the game's harder missions. And instead of going up a bit at a time I'll save for one huge purchase, since it seems you waste way too much money buying software one level at a time.

You could just fast forward time until more missions of lower levels appear.

Ask your employeers to pay you in advance... get a bunch of missions, and buy everything you need.

For the love of deities would you stop posting in aged topics with absolute crap?

You want to keep bumping old topics, that's your choice. Just as it is the admins choice to remove you for doing so.
