Sympathy for those who used the exploit = zero
Too damn bad if you lost your mods
FDev need to start policing the game and this is a start

Loving it! Loving it! Loving it!
The kind of player that walks away from the game because they got their wrists lightly slapped for cheating is not the kind of player I want to play with. Good riddance. Other games would have permabanned them.
Given that some level of punitive result was warranted, not just the restorative action of eliminating the specific mods that were cheated I think FD showed remarkable restraint. You cheat a mod, you get caught and you lose the cheated mod and every other one made with the same blueprint, whether cheated or not. Seems legit, if a bit light.
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.
There are only a very few reasons to walk away after this...
You can't play "competitively" without cheating. Fair enough, Git gud or git gone.
You are worried that now FD have marked your card as a "known cheat" they'll catch all the other stuff you get up to. Equally fair enough, don't let the airlock door hit you in the remlock on the way out...
Your tears are positively delicious and I wonder if FD will lend me that singularity at SagA* to make this tiny violin even smaller.
Thankfully my Cutters God-ish G5 FSD is safe
I second that. Anyone pleased with frontier to setting the game straighter go buy a Paint Pack to show them a little appreciation (Even though i seriously doubt ED is bleeding anything but players that like to cheat).
See you in open
Interestingly, a lot of people that expressed doubts in that thread are now silent. I expect one or two will own up and state that they were wrong but the majority will probably just say nothing.
Good riddance.
Yes I'm aware of the maths I followed the thread discussing all that in the engineers section. Normal use does allow some god-mods but when you have them on all mods on the ship; that is what is almost impossible to do normally. Each of these mods with perfect primary, excellent secondary and tertiary stats is a 1 in 5000 chance, so while I agree they are possible via rng, a ship full is very, very unlikely and a fleet full nigh on impossible.
Wow, that's way to zen for me. My coffee machine broke this morning and I'm suffering ccaafffiinnee deprivation
It was a time sink dodge; and we know how frontier reacts to time sink dodging. Unless that's CL'ing, in which case as you were - because you know everyone has terrible internet, always. I wonder how much high-fiving there would be if serial offenders were punished for abusing CL'ing? Don't be silly kofeyh.
Lynch mobs are fascinating things.
Yep, that is it basically.
I like it!
Not disagreeing, hey. Just clarifying, as your take on the situation isn't shared by a lot of people who believe the modifications in this case actually break the limits on blueprints. That's overselling it a bit. I personally think frontier should probably have sorted this out, quickly and quietly after it was first reported, but then hindsight is pretty good like that. Instead, it festered and grew a life of it's own and provided an avenue for a lot of hate.
That bit? I reckon we could do with a little less of that. YMMV. As you were.

This is terrible news, really terrible. [haha] It makes you wonder how many did it TBH (and for me, you got off lightly)

Dunno about the rest of the players, but from me, quite a bit. I play clean, I don't CL or exploit even when the exploit isn't considered to rise to the level of "cheating" by FD.
Don't worry about those other guys, they'll get theirs eventually just like the engineer cheats just did.
