This "investigation" you speak of - it sounds intriguing. I assume the Leather Goddesses of Phobos will see to that? I was a nasty player!
FDev, you just upset a *lot* of people.

*Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather…*
*shudders in anticipation*
I feel the word 'investigating' was lost on you
Unlike this person...
Go AWAY! I will only tell the Goddess!
First, I should have just read through 69 pages and repped every poster (well, a few exceptions). So...
"they maybe removed legitimate god-rolls"
- the forums have been flooded with everyone and their tail gunner doing the maths that say, "yes, it is theoretically possible that you might obtain a +100 roll on modification X, but it's a tiny little chance, akin to being hit by lightning while holding a lantern and balancing on one foot while reciting the Gettysburg Address on a calm afternoon."
- so, given that kind of odds, when you're seeing multiple god-high rolls on every module on a ship, and then on a fleet, you really can't convince anyone that you beat the odds that many times legitimately. Can't happen.
I agree with the many here; this is light punishment. Blizzard would completely nerf them. So would other game companies. I'd agree with those who would say reset their account; back to a Sidewinder and 100 credits, as a lighter punishment for trying to break the game than a complete account wipe, although I wouldn't blink at the latter.
If you're in a single-player, local game and you decide to use god-mode cheats, have a blast. Modding can be fun. But when a player is manipulating the game to produce out-of-scale enhancements to destroy other players in a multiplayer game, the H-E-double-hockey sticks to you & you deserve your karma. Don't try to break other people's games.

Poetic justice fer some individuals that its against the rules to name, but considering the bile they spewed onto these pages and old trolls like me around...I can understand why they staying away but when they come back, and most rage quitters are back with a week or 2 anyway, then they sure as hell wont be allowed to forget this. Every time they start spewing bile...one of us will be there to remind them they aint so squeeky clean themselves.
The funniest thing is they did it to themselves and even boasted about it that FD wouldnt do anything about it...and thats just in the past few days. That actually makes what FD did all the sweeter cos it well and truly wiped that smug grin off their faces ^

Unfortunately i can't give rep in your place... i have to give it by own choice.

So many posts
So whats the fuss? You should be grateful. It's like a bonus game. You get to do it again for free!

I know what you mean. I also agree that it's much more likely that somebody who claims that he was punished unfairly just tries to keep face. My statement was more of a theoretical one: considering how many people play this game (we don't have numbers, but can do a ballpark guess) and how many engineering was probably done, it's likely that there is one or another oddball who by pure chance used the exploit once without knowing it.
.
But yes, generally it's way more likely that somebody who claims that he was punished innocently just tries to save his reputation.

Well wasn't it quiet in game last night. Well it was in the systems I was in
No extra curricular message for me...
It was a bit feisty around Lave last night as there's a CG going on there.
Some sod melted my Python out from under me..!

Very much this. I accept the current solution, but personally also would've prefered a more heavy-handed approach. This undid the exploit, but didn't come with actual punishment. After all, all the exploited modules were made with dirt-cheap G1 materials. This stuff i tend to vent to make space for harder to find materials. The only actual punishment is the hit on their reputation. No matter what those peons now do, they'll forever be the dirty cheaters.

I think you didn't quite get what Ozram was aiming at.... the NPCs you encounter scale with your combat rank
I've missed all the dramalama as i've been AFED for a couple of months due to PUBG, what have I missed ?
Every ship with a cheating module should have been reset to stock, PP modules included, and all Engineering progress lost. If they had PvP kills with cheating modules, their current save should have been moved to solo only. These people caused a bunch of folk to unfairly face the rebuy screen, and they did so exploiting a bug.
Wouldn't it have been funny if FD removed all their engineering assets too & their access to all the engineers (meaning that they would have to get reintroduced to them all again) & made all engineering assets drop at grade 5 rates on their accounts...
Dammit ninja'd!
