The only problem with a spider that costs 20m would be the issue of it getting damaged. You’d have cases where you’d be going broke just maintaining the damned thing while streaking or dominating. You’d almost have to give the thing *mbumive* +Upkeep boosts as well.

This is why the audio/picture/movie/program-specific and double/triple yield spider is the best idea. Make the “targeted” ones cost 2.5m apiece, and the double/triple yield (meaning you get 2 and 3 random files per thread respectively – and yes duplicates should be possible) cost 5 and 7.5 respectively.

Again, posting it for this page, I’d also like to see a ”.moar store” that sells maybe 50 random files of increasing value each day as a way for less affluent players to have a chance of picking up a file they might need without having to drop multi-millions for new spiders.
