Thanx, it really helped me...
great link...

No problem. I was afraid I'd get a nervous breakdown when I ran to that problem myself and couldn't find an answer anywhere. Sure, I found a couple of pages which indeed told how to solve the damn thing, but the problem was that you need to solve it with the least possible amount of clicks. Just when I was about to give up, I at last came upon a program which showed the solutions.

Only too many players get stuck while trying to solve this, so I vote for adding cracking software for it. Just make sure it won't be too cheap. Also, if there's a mission where you have to crash a mainframe, the reward should be much greater if you have to shut down a Gateway compared to what the reward is now, Gateway or no.

I second this. I almost quit playing the game after I ran into this, due to the frustration. For those that like the challenge of the puzzle, just don't buy the cracking software. For those of us that like the faster pace of breaking into a system, doing our damage and continuing with the game, we can save up and buy a crack, bypass or killer.

The point of the VSEC is to actually put some thinking back into the game. Once you get up to the higher-levels everything's so easy and you can do it all automatically.
I believe Miah and Tycho have stated on more than one occasion that they do not plan to add a auto-cracker for that.

However, something to make it easier might be an idea, a move suggester or something. That's just an idea I came up with by the way, this isn't planned to go in Onlink or anything.

Well someting must be done, i must say that onlink is the greatest thing that have happend uplink but i was also near to give ut on this wonderfull mod just because the VSEC, so something must be done, a "helper" might be the answer we seek...
