OPSEC Update: Exposure
Every hack now raises your exposure (0–100%). The more aggressive you are, the higher it gets.
Bypass +4 / Crack +5 / Steal +7 / Upload +2
Above 25% — your victims can trace your attack and get a revenge scan with +25% bypass bonus. You won't know until it's too late.
Exposure decays at −1.5/hour, or pay 1 LC to cover tracks instantly (−30).
Rookies are capped at 35% and gain exposure slower.
Hit hard, go dark.

🌐 Node Wars Retiring. Launching the Sectors Pilot
On September 21, Node Wars shuts down and territory control moves to Sectors. Any breaches in progress will finish or refund, and your crew keeps its vault intact.
This isn't an update to the old mode — it's an entirely new layer running a 2-week pilot. Rules are locked between checkpoints, and the whole layer can be turned off without touching your main progress.
🏴 Land is never permanent
You can get outbid, breached, or the node will decay if abandoned. When you lose a node, the anchor, cells, and reserve are gone. Don't claim more than you can afford to lose.
🔋 No more daily manual feeding
Daily log-ins consume anchor charge. If you don't log in, the node stays frozen and won't decay for up to 7 days — but production freezes too. Newly won nodes now get 4 reserve cells seeded automatically, giving the anchor enough fuel to run without you having to manually top it up every single day.
⚔️ No surprise night attacks
Breaches are visible the moment they are committed. You get 4 to 32 hours to prepare, and the attack only lands during the daily hour you set for your node.
📈 Player-run economy
No NPC vendors. The pilot opens with two sectors: the foundry makes alloys (for agent hulls and breachers), while the reactor makes energy. You need both to craft patch kits and link keys, so players have to trade on the market.
🛠 Playable without owning land
You don’t need a base to profit. Commons nodes let anyone claim up to 12 materials daily to craft items and sell them to landowners. Accounts with 500+ reputation get a one-time starter kit.
🔋 Patch kits for legacy miners
Craft kits from both materials to extend a regular miner’s life by +24 hours. Hard limits: 1 kit per miner per day, and up to 10 kits per account daily.
🤖 The Grid is closed
The bot arena and its currencies are retired, and old achievements are preserved as badges. Sectors won’t have script battles — defense is strictly charge versus force, so knowing how to code won't give an unfair edge.
