I'm really far away from this point, but I'm always thinking about stuff and I wanted to get this written down before I forgot, and this seemed as good a place as any to leave myself a reminder.
One of the biggest problems early on with SubSpace/Continuum was that hackers were creating cheats by taking advantage of flaws in the encryption used for the protocol and flaws in the client.
After the first version of Warrior is released, it may make sense to offer rewards to people who can identify methods of hacking the game and further rewards if they have a solution.
That way, instead of trying to ruin the game for everyone by taking advantage of the cheats, maybe they'll make some money and help us make the game more secure against cheats.
Anyway, this is really just a reminder to myself about a possible idea to implement later.
