Unfortunately the idea could be very well turned against you as well.

1. Scan for logged off robot.
2. Build walls around that tile.
3. Victim logs back, drama ensues.

Broken wall mechanic is the problem, not the OP idea. It's kinda sad to see this plant-turned-wall hack being a factor at all

Don't give away my master plan.  Besides this is possible already and can also be easily countered by carrying a mobile TP which any competent logoffskier should do.

Seriously though, what is the dev's policy with regard to log on traps?  Cause I see no other way of killing a miner on beta unless they fail considerably or get disconnected or something.

I remember this being an EULA related issue at some point in another game.

Don't be so upset.  Its a reason to build more walls! Thats what the game is about isn't it? None of that kiddy running around in robots shooting people crap.

Hello all!

2Author: Your suggestion right and necessary.

2DEV Team:
Big squad arrives to the point "A" and logout. A small invisible detector robot walk around and wait. When the victim comes near to the point "A" suddenly appears many robots (out of thin air) and kill it. This can be repeated forever. Particularly well under the OP.
Where is the balance? Numerous group may appears under your feet and kill everything alive? Is this normal? If this units will surrounded by a wall - it's their problem. Did not have to go offline in the field. Logout in the field should be last step. If impossible do it in OP/Terminal.
In addition you have been offered a raw idea, which need to develop. It is necessary to get rid of login traps. And I very hope that you start solve this EXPLOIT instead of different excuses.

2Stupid *** who take advantage of this EXPLOIT, and who do not want change: Get out of here trolls.

you do not need any new mechanics that dont already exist to accomplish what you are asking.. all you need is a presence on your island. I have seen people that logged out come back to being walled in because they were seen by a scout when they were logging out. ... if you dont have a "presence" or scouts then stop whining about having people logged off in your island... how were they able to log off there anyways.. most likely because you dont have a strong enough presence at the time they came.

ZOMG: if logging out of the game is an exploit you are seriously confused about game mechanics.

Hey why not add a dock timer so once you hit the button to dock up you must wait 30 seconds (after instability) for the porter to warm up and let you in ... this would stop thoes *** docking games everyone likes to play.

come up with ideas to encourage pvp not discourage it.

What we really need is "Detect logged off players" and then find something to get them to want to log back in.

The fact that you can wall people up at all means walls are broken. Bring in defence turrets, tar-fields that slow robots, ANYTHING BUT WALLS.
