This would hit permanoobs and hackers the hardest.

Why don’t they just remove the evade aspect of defense? And just make a standard miss percentage between all forums.

But that’s the STATED downside of being a hacker. You’ve got tons of equipment and thus need to invest higher in upkeep than other characters, partially balancing (in theory) the ridiculous advantages you get in stats from having so much powerful equipment. So far in my entire hacker run, he’s never had to pay more for maintainance than my troll and frankly, I’d probably be well served nearly dropping my upkeep to zero with how things are because even ten upkeeps ago I wasn’t paying crap for maintaining. Really, changes that hurt challenge clbumes or improve the degree to which a clbum fits its theme are better.
