Topic: Cargo exploit

It's recently come to my attention after burial posted about it in general chat that there is for the third time a method of fitting infinite cargo in to a bot or mech. I had a play around and found it was actually possible. I don't want to specify how here but for transparency I would like to request the following things:

An audit on transport missions - accept / decline transport missions and then bulk delivering them would print tokens and nic at game breaking rates

If possible an audit on how often this was used in logistics

The missions aspect is particularly important and more game breaking than the insurance scam. I believe it should be tracked back for a minimum of a year with offenders having assets removed appropriately.

I can only do anything if you post a support ticket with how it's done.

Re: Cargo exploit

That's fine, but in that case (based on some chat logs from last night and the night before) I consider this a troll and/or feel inclined to ban your account for using an exploit and not reporting it.

Re: Cargo exploit

The exploit has been fixed now.

We've checked whether there were any excessively large transport assignment operations that could have used this exploit, but haven't found anything even close worth mentioning.

As for gamma logistics, unfortunately we can't check that. Due to the nature of this bug there is no trace of the actual overloads (technically there were no overloads in the database, the overloaded items were each in their own "virtual" cargohold - it's complicated).

Re: Cargo exploit

This whole time I thought Jita was just trolling us about a cargo exploit.. Lol, my bad. GJ Jita!

Those of you lucky enough to have your lives, take them with you. However, leave the mods you've lost. They belong to me now.
