Summary0026767: Templar Hacking Response -- XML Lever to balance hacking response and tag for specific ships
DescriptionBased on our conversation (Badger & Zeus), we discovered a feedback loop of hacking -> farming hacking response -> hacking

The offshoot is that eventually, this leads to incredible hacking responses (as the wave leaders are proportional to hacking spent).

To curb this, we should do the following:

1) Add a tag for units (wave leaders, strikecraft, guardians, D. guardians) that are eligible for the hacking response. I (Zeus) will copy/paste ships to create versions that do not generate resources (as this is really abusable now)
2) Add XML lever "HackingPointsSpentPerExtraWaveLeaderInHackResponse" to balance the amount of wave leaders being created in response to players hacking
TagsNo tags attached.

Wave Leaders from hacking waves are now using the new unit types from zeus. I'm not sure I want to also modify all the other units coming in though. That seems excessive

Fixed, unless you want to make a stronger case for "The Templar get totally different units from the hacking response" which I think is excessive

That's fine by me, I think the wave leaders were the biggest offenders anyway
