Topic: Any words about the fixed exploits?

Last to patches "fixed" some things that could have been used for exploiting -

any words what it was, how much ingame currency was generated with it and how much of it was removed with the patches?

no names necessary - i doubt anyone was banned for it...

Re: Any words about the fixed exploits?

The exploit was that you could overload your cargo. How does that "generate" ingame currency?

Re: Any words about the fixed exploits?

IDK about generating but unlimited injector charges can generate field cans of loot yarr

Re: Any words about the fixed exploits?

So how do you get unlimited injector charges?

Re: Any words about the fixed exploits?

Unlimited cargo=/=unlimited injector charges

Re: Any words about the fixed exploits?

infinite transport capactiy would have helped evacuating some terminals pretty fast, im sure...
if i had known that i could transport like 1M U HDT in a sequer...

Re: Any words about the fixed exploits?

That may be but "how much ingame currency was generated" is a poor choice of words in this case and generates unnecessary mass hysteria as if it were a case of duping.

I know what you're trying to say but it's impossible to calculate the effects of this exploit as an exact monetary gain.

What happens when you do transport missions on Beta1s with unlimited cargo space and now spark teleportation....?  I'll let you smart Hungarians figure out the rest.

Can you do that easily without the 6/10 rule kicking in?

Re: Any words about the fixed exploits?

nah, i doubt that someone could create tons of NIC/tokens out of the blue with the DEVs not getting an automated alert that something suspicious is going on. They said at some point that they run a log how long player need for each mission to adjust the rewards manually.


like i am pretty sure, they run a check if certain player commands are triggered in exact millisecond intervalls and synchronious for longer periods of times to check for cheap macros or bots.

Re: Any words about the fixed exploits?

Can you post an example please?

edit: nevermind, found it.

Re: Any words about the fixed exploits?

This being the point where a Freighter bot and a Jump Freighter requiring Energy Cells would be nice to implement.

Re: Any words about the fixed exploits?

Basing on the past, such exploits deserve a blogpost and act of punishment.

Have a productive day, runner!

Times have changed, now we have ICE; NIC has really money value for AC tongue


If there has been any foul play let them pay, by all means, no need for announcement.

Re: Any words about the fixed exploits?

Example:  a player goes to terminal A.  He sets a spark.  He then accepts and declines a mission which still give him the items for the mission.  He then travels to destination with unlimited cargo.  Sets spark.  Jumps back to point accepts mission then jumps back to point b turns it in.  Macro that with a mouse clicker and in 24 hours you just made 27 billion and you control the economy. 

Btw: ill send the bill to avatar creations for beta testing.

Re: Any words about the fixed exploits?

Did you ever wonder were 300k tokens (yellow) sell orders came from?

Re: Any words about the fixed exploits?

Just gonna throw this out there but the economy in this game is so all over the place its laughable. Get someone who knows about these things to start talking to you already.

Re: Any words about the fixed exploits?

what I hate about it is the randomness. Its not driven by scarcity nor by demand. Its a mess.

And to demonstrate how much of a mess - 90% of prices atm for tech are based upon how hard getting the fragments is for proto's - not the mineral cost or the difficulty of getting the technology. Nuts.

Re: Any words about the fixed exploits?

Oh but fragments are not a problem remember?

Re: Any words about the fixed exploits?

i think the "market" ist that interface is more a database then a market-interface.
