Equipment damage

I think equipment should take damage. In the real world, equipment needs maintanance, but not in the CW world. That's why I think we need a hardware repair system. As it stands, your computer never needs backing up or defragged or anything; just added on to. Nothing ever permanently damages anything. You've got hackers mucking about in your system on a relentless basis and that isn't going to end up breaking or wearing out some of your parts? C'mon, let's be at least semi-realistic.

Give equipment a point value similar to a life bar, lets say for example: 50 points. The more battles you lose, the more points your defensive equipment(RAM) loses; the more battles you win, the more points your attack hardware loses(HDD). Damaged equipment must be repaired or it starts losing a percentage of it's power until it reaches XX%, at which ppoint it becomes disabled until repaired, or in some cases, destroyed and needs replaced.

Or, have a cumulative percentage for you to sustain computer/hardware damage while battling. A small one, like a .05% or .01% chance. The more battles you do, the more likely it is that you will have to fix something inside your machine, rather than just booting up your apparently useless firewall. Hit that percentage during a battle, and a message comes up "you have sustained battle damage" and you lose 5 points per level (the bigger you are, the more there is to break.)
As a side note to the 'added realism' aspect, this would also help draw cash out of the game.
All reality is subjective

I like this idea.. It would also help get money out of the game,which seems to be a target of sorts.

I like this because it would make people be more active on NCW. Leave for so long and your equipment won't work leaving you easier to hack. Maybe give us the ability, perhaps linked to hacking / intelligence, to tweak our equipment for a cost and a chance for it to break.

As for getting money out of the game yea its a good idea... but as for it making people more active is complete nonsense... if anything people will get tired of having to pay to fix their equipment they already put money into... This will have no affect on people being more active on this game. If your equipment can be affected then there has to be a counter affect as if your equipment is damaged then the person who hacks you aswell recieves damage. lets say you take the whole virus link out of the game and just add that to the equipment part which as if you buy a good enough virus it can take out the opposer's equipment as well as yours due to the virus you bought and added to your motherboard
