The Inevitable Mindhack Discussion Thread

2: HoS is IMMUNE to mindhacks due to their hats.

hos is immune to mindhacks because they start with a special mindshield implant that, to the best of my knowledge, can't be found anywhere else. please do try to avoid spreading mechanical misinformation that can easily be disproven with a quick wiki check

I'm personally not a fan of the "helmets should protect from mindhacking" solution. what would it count as a helmet, just the sec helmets or any space suit? why would a miner's full-coverage space helmet provide no protection against an implant if a doofy little sec helmet somehow fully protects a secoff? this could also lead to another avenue of potential validhunting, with any secoff who wants to wear a different hat getting side-eyed even harder. just a whole can of potential worms really

I didn't wiki check... I knew I tried to mindhack a HoS on RP and I was told "Just take off the hat"
But it was an implant huh? Thanks!

Also the helmet idea is not "optimal" and to be honest... I was only giving the OP an idea... I DO NOT AGREE WITH DOING IT AT ALL!
If anything the slowing is the best idea.. but I want to avoid VALID HUNTING and tipping off things... but I am just trying to help drive ideas to show how it works.

I tend to follow the "throw even the bad ideas in, so we can get to good ideas"
So when i say something even I disagree with... it could lead to someone taking that idea and expanding it into an amazing idea.
