Cash generating exploit found

Postby bamapookie » Mon Aug 20, 2007 4:23 am

I found an exploit for generating cash involving the purchase of gateways. I won't reveal anything here, but if the devs wish to know, they can email/pm me.

I presume it's to do with negatively priced gateways, an issue which has been known for a while. Ultimately, since it's a single player game, any use of an 'exploit' is just the player cheating themselves, so there's no utmost need for secrecy. Furthermore, the game is 6 years old, so while frenchfrog may get round to patching exploits, I wouldn't expect any haste.

Not negatively priced gateways, but the effect is similar. Anyway, I concur with the rest of your post.

i suppose it's the illusion you can keep buying the first gateway and the trinity back and forth until you are rich.

it doesn't work as far as i know. you are NOT getting a full refund.

and if you mean that you can download 0 priced gateways...

DUDE! THEY ARE MODDED GATEWAYS!

anyway, you don't need more power then the zion can provide... the triny is almost useless. the zion is the best gateway except the trinity. price way at least. if you have 3 turbo CPUs... do you need more power?

and the super computer... DO YOU NEED 24X200 power?

No that's not it. I discovered it by accident, but I was able to generate additional funds. I won't post it publicly unless a mod says it's ok.

Edit: And it can be accomplished without modding or custom gateways.
