OK, with the addition of viruses and stuff, it'd be great to have a new mission type which requires you to hack in and install a backdoor trojan (attached to the mission email) to a server.

The great thing about this is that you get the trojan which you are installing, so you can use it yourself.

The trojan would act as a hidden way to connect to the server by using a Trojan_Connect HUD, which has the option to scan a host for a trojan and connect to it if one is found. If you connect via a backdoor trojan, the trace doesn't start for a random amount of time (depending on how secure the server is), but as soon as you get a trace and disconnect, the backdoor will be removed. The backdoor would also be automatically removed after a certain period (again, depending on the server's security) which would be anything between 3 hours and 2 weeks in game-time.

Also, I would like to point out a bug in the mission system: If you don't have a sufficient rating to get a mission, you can just talk to the person who is offering it and then accept it, so they give it you anyway.

Not really a bug.. you (the agent) just don't have the rating for automatic acceptance. The company can always interview you, which is what the 'contact' represents.

Yeah, but if you have clearance to read the mission info, you can get it even if you're not a high enough level.

Also, it's really annoying how the low level missions aren't shown any more when you get to a high level. I want to be able to still do "Delete a File" missions when I'm at TERMINAL rating. They can be fun sometimes

Hehe, I understand that feeling. When you're still in the middle ranks, they do pop up every so often; I ask for more money then go in and crash the machine after doing the mission.

Delete a file missions can be fun, especially if you destroy the machine afterwards
