Personally, I don't think so. Yes super modules are possible but in the normal run of things they will be rare. So what?
FDev, you just upset a *lot* of people.

Completely agree that they're damn lucky to escape by their short curlies, but to turn around and then make demands.. wow.. that's brave (or crazy).
..plus giggled at "Evonne Goolagong's"
+rep!
Well. maybe it's now time for those of us who left open because of the power disparity to return. Maybe open will be even more populous and a lot more inviting to play in.
Nah, ganking in a Sidey is even easier, a la Suicidewindering outside stations. Best to ban them outright. FDev are too polite to do that, though.
Sorry about that, I misread your post. I've deleted the offending reply.
Too true.
Those of the 13th involved in this are not heros, as has been said already. The NSA who supposedly serve the people, did no service to them in not telling Microsoft of the problems. Instead, like those in the 13th and whom ever else in the ED community, did no justice for the players of ED.
In single player game if you cheat, or use an exploit if you'd rather term it, means you merely cheat yourself. In an online game you cheat everyone. If a roll back of this engineered stuff is all that they get, then they're getting off lightly. Let's hope that FDevs don't regret their decision. We'll see .....

That's what should happen to exploiters and cheaters:
My thanks to FDev for the measures taken. Not only did you remove the exploited modules from those who would use them to gain unfair advantage over other players, but you also cashed in extra by removing 'all' rolls on those exploited module types and thus hurt the self-righteousness of the arrogant exploiter crowd on behalf of those who were wrongly affected for so long by this foul play.
Well played FD, well played...

or a Pilots Federation fine that coincidentally happens to be equal to their asset value?
Oh no, what are we going to do now without all those cheaters quitting the game?....
Play it and enjoy the environment and the free drinks?
Well if it means squeaky-voiced gankers and their ilk will no longer frequent stations in systems with active CGs, bending the in-game rules as far as possible (and basicially being ) all in the name of glorious self-entitled PvP that's all good then.

Bwahahaha.
Yep, after seeing 3 more posts where you confirmed your original opinion, I totally check over 100 posts to see if you suddenly changed your mind.
Brilliant.
Kudos to FD, and to those affected: flying a little more nervously, now?

For those that are unaware, some interesting developments in this thread, (suggested reading from page 20 to 22).

That's the logic many on this forum use when defending combat logging.
Silly isn't it.
All cheaters should be punished.

Indeed, but you have to catch them first and have definitive proof that the cheat was intentional.
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.
So rather than FDev being clumsy, it's you.
No you never believed any suspect roll was being removed you "knew" all rolls were being removed. In your words "I'm seeing a lot of people having lost their legitimately upgraded modules".
Now you call others names for not reading into this fully. When you failed to read what was going on fully from the onset.
Suck up the responses you're getting, you earned them.
