Calling the vicinity of one planet "a new galaxy" makes me think your post isn't exactly serious.
They do happen and FD is doing updates to battle them - and so will CIG if SC is ever released.
What was pointed out however was Chris pitch about how game would be protected against such cheats right out the gate. Maybe it is still on road map, true, but having wall hacks and autobots appearing so quickly does not bode well for a game who wants to take on other games.
Either SC is just another game with normal issues or it is dat PC gaming savior. It can't be really both.
It hasn't been a thing in Elite for months, due to Engineers and Combat Logging... but in any case, there's certainly an element of skill involved in SC. It's refreshing.
Yeah, we know that.
Oh, please. Planet, system, galaxy - pick whatever word makes you happy. "Space-Based-Game-Environment-With-Stars-and-Stuff".
Well, SC isn't out of the gate yet.
Despite the sales pitch, I'm sure SC will have to deal with hacking just as many other games do. My point was that if hacking hasn't been fatal to Elite, it likely won't be fatal to SC.

Using accurate terms to describe the playable area would make me happy, not more impressive ones.

Because cheats NEVER happen in Elite.
Of course cheats happen in ED, if you look around the web you can find them complaining about bans. How does that stack against thousand dollar spaceships ? either losing the account to a ban or using money exploits to easily get them and sell them on (17 Draconis is very popular). The ship sales and grey market can't survive contact with release.
You might want to remove the clip, naming and shaming is against forum rules.

It's no more unrealistic than the 100 system at launch stuff.

Maybe... its 100 instances of the same system?
I have a weird habit of evaluating games by what they are, not what developers claim they are going to be, or their fans hope they are going to be. SC's PU is right here, so I feel fully justified in criticizing people that are trying to overstate its' features for no reason.
Not every player is cheater, logger or abuses Engineers. But you sure know that. SC and skill - not a thing yet.

Erm - it doesn't stack at all, because "thousand dollar spaceships" is 2 completely different topics. I don't have a thousand dollar spaceship in SC...
Already modded out. But ironic that TOS allows personal attacks on Chris and his wife, but won't allow a video showing a shield hack in Elite.

It won't be a different topic when someone loses his cash-bought ship because of cheating.
I can tell you're trying to make a point here, but can't tell what it is...
If someone paid $1000 actual cash for a ship, and cheats, and gets banned - I've no problem with it.
On the other side of that - if you paid $1000 actual cash for a ship, and it was destroyed by another player who was cheating - you aren't "out" your ship. You've either already got lifetime insurance, or in-game credits to replace it.
Is SC still going with the idea that LTI replacements will take time and that time will increase per repeated insurance claim? So if a big ship dollar investor is unlucky, lacking skill, or gets perma-camped by someone using cheats, they could quickly find their big ship off limits until it gets built in X hours time?
I'm just explaining Stigbob's point as I see it and pointing out a possible problem.
First case - perhaps you won't, but the person who paid this amount of money certainly will. Not to mention possible false positives. Second case - there are still ships sold without insurance, even though all those shenanigans with buying cheap LTI ships and melting them or whatever to transfer LTI to the more expensive ship it's a minority. Still, at least two cases where expensive ships and cheating are related issues.

Still curious whether Port Olisar is going to get any larger to provide any explanation for where all these ships are popping into thin air from.
It's all very cute them getting excited about how cargo should be hand loaded and you should be able to watch it go into a ship and interrupt that etc - BUT WHERE IS THE GODDAMN SHIP COMING FROM?!?!?
Happy New Year and 3.0 Commandos

I'm sure a cheater who got banned (and lost their investment) for employing a wall hack would be upset. But the fatal mistake, in such a case, is made by the player - not RSI.
It's probably like SLF and ships in Elite - they just come from "nowhere".
Or a magical room where 3D printing is done, take your pick.

Come on, if we pointed out issues with every single claim of CIG, we would be on the tenth iteration of this thread. By the way, to anyone who would claim we are too lenient of FDev - I would say you might be right and there is a support group for likeminded folks under this link: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/forumdisplay.php/30-Dangerous-Discussion

Depends on TOS, to be honest I'm not sure how's the legal situation when it comes to losing items bought with micro/macrotransactions after being banned. It doesn't matter whose mistake it was, though, micro/macrotransactions and cheating are still related issues.

- Exploit errors in design, features which are not documented and/or bugs to gain access that would otherwise not be available or to obtain any competitive advantage.
- Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble all or any portion of the RSI Services.
"If your Account, or a particular subscription for an RSI Service associated with your Account, is terminated for your breach, no refund will be granted; no online time or other credits will be credited to you or converted to cash or other form of reimbursement, and you will have no further access to your Account (or to any related entitlements associated with your Account or the particular RSI Service)."
Seems fairly clear.
Feliz An~o Nuevo Rolan!
