Re: Massive scanning - rank #1 point of view

Because people are talking about scripts I'll just explain the most easy way of repeatedly scanning.

- First off you need Internet Explorer
- Second you do any kind of scan you wish, your page is then updated with the scan in it
- Hold down (not just repeatedly press it, just HOLD DOWN) F5
- Release after 10 seconds or so and you will see a massive resource drop

Your IE browser has, in these 10 seconds, sent about 5-6 GET requests per second (so 50-60 in those 10 seconds only and thats just from a slow connection!) to the Planetarion webserver to do scans, and these requests are then stored into the database, resources subtracted, and points added.

This is your 'script' people..

I've just tested this by doing Planet scans for 10 seconds, and I lost about 55k of every resource.
