Elite: Cheat galore

After reading a bunch of those threads, it's basically as expected with the game design. I haven't personally run into anyone I suspect of cheating, though that would really suck in a serious PvP event.
I'm not sure that last thread about the trading community goal was accurate, though, I've had almost 50k tons added to my progress for reasons unknown. I've been doing large numbers of missions in the area, though none of them seemed to immediately change the count.

Cheating would rob me of the motivation to play
so I don't cheat
so I don't cheat
Evidence/proof/data?
Way back when, in the days of C=64, VIC-20, C= Plus 4, etc. I enjoyed finding "pokes and cheats" - finding how to get unlimited ammo, total invulnerability, and so on. Not because I couldn't play the game, but purely for the challenge of doing so - it was a fun hobby.
I even got a couple of my game cheats published in Commodore User
I can see where the fun might come from doing the same thing today with this game. However, what turns it from a fun hobby to something quite bad, is doing this with a multiplayer, P2P game.
It's just not cricket, chaps. It was harmless fun back in the 80's/90's when games were single player and there was no easily accessible internet (if at all). Doing this with this multiplayer. always online game is just a bad idea.

User posts with link and asks what's going on about cheating. User mentions said link includes exact, specific steps to cheat. Your post clearly adds value to the community.
Gotta love this forum.
OP's spot on- the cheating is doing just fine and the guys with CheatEngine have a blast. If that ruins their game or not is irrelevant, what is relevant is how it affects MY game, and I'd prefer to not tangle with a tuned-up sidewinder, thank you very much. From a technical point of view they're doing a nice job over at $donotmentionforums. From a gameplay perspective there's worse to come.
I'm tired and I've been out with a few friends so I can't be bothered to write anything more than:
One side will want you to believe that their cheats are undetected, that's how they sell cheats.
I have no idea what cheat system is incoporated into ED, if any.
Spit on peer to peer and tight companies for introducing this situation.

IMHO cheating at a game is self defeating. Isn't the challenge what makes a game interesting?
I would never cheat. Just hope that my experience is not ruined by those that do.

Hear hear. Cheaters mind boggle me. I guess I could understand the hacker desire to find an exploit, but once found there's only one reason to keep using it - to hear the lamentation of the players.
Especially in a game like this where the whole objective is immersion or verisimilitude. It's like being given a car to have a cross country trip/adventure in, and then selling it to buy a plane ticket, fly across the country, then rent the same model car on the other side just so you can claim to your friends you beat some record or another. What's the point? You've accomplished NOTHING. You should get NOTHING. Good day, sir! [/Wonka]
Fair enough. Like I said, I'm not a programmer, just a rookie networking guy. I push packets and leave what is inside of them to people who are into that kind of thing.
Just went and took a look, yep some of these guys know what they're talking about (I'm a software dev). This in my mind once again validates FD's design decision to have open, solo and groups. If someone wants to insta-cash themselves a billion credits to buy an A-grade conda that they then proceed to run with infinite ammo and shields, more power to them. I'll be in a private group playing with my friends.
i will say this yes they are out there but posting on the forums about them and almost showing them how to find them is not the best idea.
PS, i have used Cheats in other games( solo games ) but never play them for long normally just to see what the game has to offer as i think most people get bored very fast when cheating.

u can easely hack the game. i could gimme billions of credits buy anacondra and Fitting her out to max.... nice and than what??? getting bored becouse i have all i wanted. the only Goal in this game is make Money. and that keeps me playing a bit. if u would hack this game with its lag of content in it you would ruin the game for yourselve... and would not touch it anymore.

lol google p2p and youll see every premodern cheat imaginable......or simply take your head outa the sand......p2p was a cheap and disastrous choice for a game after 1990 yet here we are...maybe a spend a few bucks FD on someone who codes post 1990 level...or makes decisions from that mindset
Seems like a reasonable decision to me. All they need to host and maintain is an XML web service, and that's hardly 80s thinking.
You might have noticed that there are no direct cheats for things like credits, cargo, ships, modules, and those who try may be noticed by FD.

Try again. I'm asking for proof that FD's addressing the issue. Next.
I suspect quite a few of those moaning that they're bored with the game because it's too easy are exactly that.
And that will get you a solo ban, as you well know.
