Everyone has a different opinion on this, I personally like the engineers and the process involved, some tweaking may necessary and bugs around dropping of some mats I could do without.
FDev, you just upset a *lot* of people.

It's great to see the vast majority of posters are happy with the action taken by Frontier.
Couple of things for those who are not sure of if they will be affected.
Thanks all.

- The exploit which is fixed cannot be accidentally applied, it takes a deliberate series of actions to enable the exploit.
- Frontier have taken what they deem as appropriate action as detailed here
- [h=3]Community Update: Engineer Exploit Action Taken[/h]
- When logging into the game you will receive an in game message stating that their has been a punitive action against your account.

Punitive Action, what a great name for a ship.
If it were up to me, I'd have two levels of punishment.
Minor infraction would be the current punishment for using the exploit on 2 or less different blueprints. Removal of mods for all effected modules.
Then I'd have a Major infraction. Cleared save if you've done the exploit on 3 or more different blueprints.
The curious George's, get a slap on the wrists. And the serial cheaters get to start over.

No it didn't, because it was not relevant to my reply.
If, however, you knew that the exploit existed for a year and didn't do anything to report it... Well that's a whole different kettle of fish.
It doesn't make it right though.
But I do agree.
Military ranking is another issue that needs sorting. The only way to seemingly progress at a "normal" pace is to do the Quince/Sothis&Ceos thing.
But if they made ranking faster from normal non-grindy methods, then these places would just let you rank up almost instantly instead.
Not flying the Bannhammer?
Ring ring.... Hello is that the patent office....?
I have one called punitive measures. They can be sisters if you want
Nice.
Did I miss something, was there an official announcement of some bans? Wut. is. this. about?
edit: what I have seen all is pretty legit. Exploits are taken away and there is a fair warning to not cheat in the future. There is no banning right? I am happy if there are some cheated god rolls less in the galaxy. It's fine for me. And I'd bet the thargoids wouldn't bother about our actual weapory at all anyway.

Engineers upset the balance of the game severely, as is proofed by the plethora of complaints regarding FDevs continued balance passes every patch for PvP, specifically engineered assets, while paying "no attention" to the other facets of the game.
Some people may like it but it was, via mechanics and execution, probably the worst thing they've done so far. They should have gone with what they had originally done back in the pre-release days and just made the different weapon types available on the market for a higher cost / higher rep requirement.
The idea alone that there are only a handful of people out there who can modify parts for these ships in a culture that's been flying the stars for thousands of years is ludicrous to begin with. It was stupid. It never should have made it past the idea table.
Couldn't agree more with this post. [up]
Cheated modules, said modules removed, some salt and notable absences......
