Summary0022124: ARS hacking price scales in an improper manner
DescriptionAs I seem to have caused more confusion than help in issue 0022114, here's a fresh report.

Hacking cost for ARS hacks does not scale properly

In the attached save, hack 1 cost 15, hack 2 cost 18. So far so good. Looks like 1.2x scaling as intended
Hack 3 cost 36, and hack 4 cost 54. Hack 5 would cost me 72. Now it's suddenly using a formula where the hacking cost is (n-1)*(cost of hack 0000002) instead of 15*1.2^(# of hacks -1)

This may apply to other hack types as well. Haven't tested.

Attached save was started in 1.005.

Okay, hacking costs now go
15 -> 18 -> 22 -> 26 -> 31 -> 37
That looks a bit better. Thanks for reporting!
