I think he means the hacking effect (the Ai attacking your hacking attempt), not the HaP going up for each hack.
So you're saying that the AI's response isn't tied to HaP?
set /A diff=10
if %diff%==max (
   set /A me=:)
) else (
   set /A me=SadPanda
)

IIRC (and I very well may not, or things may have changed), for the factors that can change throughout the game, the AI hacking response is proportional to (in rough order of magnitude of influence):

-Current hacking progress (response goes down as HaP goes up)
-Total spent hacking progress (response goes up as total spent goes up)
-How much HaP the next of the current hack type can add (response goes up as this goes up); this is tied to how many of that kind of hack you have done previously

Not quite what i meant, sorry. I was trying to say it sounded like brianc's post meant increasing the AI's response based on how many of that one hack you've done already, not just increasing the HaP (and the response based on HaP). it doesn't sound like the best idea either way to me.

The flat energy on turrets happened a relatively long time ago.  I think it was in the notes then :)

Mind, I did search all of the post-7.0 notes. ;)
