I'm certainly glad too that FD stepped in, it was important.
As a solo player i'm naturally following this with a slightly more laid back attitude, but in the general interest of the game, yes, it's good news.

in an ideal world yes! however FD have OFFICIALLY said no punishments for any of the other exploits which have been so popular would be punished... that said, whilst i personally felt quince was an exploit, FD disagreed with me.
the cheaters may be a symptom of a problem that progression is too slow in your opinion. in my view progression is so fast now its silly. in naval terms , something which ED compares itself to a lot, people are going from a fishing boat to an air craft carrier in under 24hrs play.
madness.

There was a post a few weeks back from a guy who in one post claimed he used the cheat for a year, announced he will use it again that night cause FD would do nothing, remembered the lovely day when he invaded Mobius and killed +50 ships and so on.
I can't find it now.
Oh, I´m pretty sure the Upset-to-Pleased ratio is in favor of Pleased.
If I were a Wall street con artist, I'd also be upset if the feds seized my assets. The bankrupt victims and the bulk of the honest working population on the planet? Not so much.
I bow my head to FDEV. Thank you!

No, you are missing the point. The fact is that by using the exploit they could make a huge number of rolls using only grade 1 mats, so thereby having many, many chances to get that "godlike" enhancement.
That is the cheating part - if you can't see that then you are genuinely misguided or wilfully misrepresenting the situation.
From what I'm gathering so far, the manner in which you've conducted your exploit punishment have been nothing less than extremely clumsy. Instead of only removing the rolls which were exploited, you've also elected to remove anything that might have been a legitimate roll. What you're literally telling us is "We know you cheated, but since we can't tell which module you cheated to upgrade, we're taking this sledgehammer to everything we think might have been exploited." I'm seeing a lot of people having lost their legitimately upgraded modules... and some performed the exploit once out of curiosity.
You're losing players pulling this stuff, guys. It's bad enough you guys took said sledgehammer to anything that looked suspicious, but according to reddit posts some people still have their exploited modules.
I'm really glad I didn't let my curiosity get the better of me... I probably would have had my FAS wiped from existence if I had from ONE module.
[EDIT] Since some people would rather not actually read the thread and see that I attempted to clarify, I might as well add this in. I jumped the gun and posted this believing that any roll viewed as "suspect" would be targeted. I didn't spend a month dedicated to engineering my FAS in all aspects to have it dedicated over a false positive, you know. But obviously as more information has come out it seems FDev have a way of actually tracking these things, so... I tried admitting to the mistake, but nobody's actually READING the thread.
Y'all really like to resort to immediate derision and vitriol to any opinion you don't like though, do you? What a nice bunch you are.
A HAHAHA HA HAHAHA HAH AHA HA HA HAH AHAHAHAH AAH AH AHAHHAHA HA HA HA HA hahahahaha.
Now that's funny!
"Kids! Say NO to exploits!"
If you feel a module has been unfairly removed by support in reaction to those using exploits then:
A. Raise a ticket with support.
B. Get angry with the exploiters.
C. Consider that, if you did use the exploit, even once, you may have to shoulder responsibility.
Haha, this is wonderful. All the salt. Haha. The salt strikes back.
Who is the idiot?
People read and react to your post, so much so you have to "edit" what was "going through" your head, and they are the dummy?
Sometimes less is more...
