The implications of detailed scoring
The implications of detailed scoring I've not seen anyone comment on the choice of "vital" versus "infected" portals. It's an interesting shift, since positive higher-scoring portals had previously been called volatile. The term "infected" is suggestive of another portal virus at work, which may be the result of actions by New Wave Resistance, possibly leveraging technology liberated from Visur. Recall that Devra Bogdanovich had worked on more than one iteration of a portal network virus; perhaps a more precise portal virus has been developed. This may have been part of a covert effort by NWR to ensure control over a reactivated ADA. http://investigate.ingress.com/via-lux-scoreboard/
