But tell me how you can see difference in game if I'm doing 15 seconds exit or not? Ship remaining in space same ammount of time when someone is doing CL. For me you are just whining no matter what, that someone don't wanna play like you want.

Well everyone kept saying, "Won't someone please think of the children!" so they did
only read it briefly, but I think this relates to using code to change the gameplay

Kudos to Rinzler for a fun thread - even if it's all old news! CL is bad - check / CL should be dealt with - check / Frontier have done nothing in 3 yrs to rectify the issue - CHECK!!!!
Quick question Rinz (not designed to adversely influence the views of the non-PvP player-base towards you or anything) - Do you still go ganking single DBSs flown by relatively new players, with Bazinga in your god-rolled FDLs?
Only time I've ever attacked a DBS during my short time in that overpowered PoS was against a member of an enemy player group who liked to masquerade as one of us while ganking randoms. We killed him over and over and over while he was trying to station gank people that he eventually gave up.
Master ranked DBS if I remember right, but PvP fitted and keen to gank randoms. Also my FDL is nowhere near godrolled, since I despise the ship and didn't spend much time engineering it. 5 rolls per module, and using my vulture's drives. Bazinga's FDL is what I'd consider godrolled though.
Serial "taskkillers"? 5 times in 5 months makes one a serial "taskkiler"?
Wonder how many exploited G5 god rolls make one a serial cheater?
What about known gankers that have nothing to do with SDC, that logged 10+ times (videos on youtube) and FDev still does nothing about them?
Those people need to get over themselves. Problems are problems no matter who is pointing them out.
Both sides need to. Takes two to tango, and I don't see threads like this as part of the solution. Overall they do more harm than good, which I suspect is what was intended. This is just a convenient cause to latch on to.
And what of the 60,000,000 in bonds and bounties gracefully, peacefully and quietly delivered by those playing in Solo mode or in Private Groups, out of the reach of those who would attempt to stop them?
What of the countless number of Mostly Open players who willfully change game modes when approaching hostile stations to deliver their cargo, bonds or bounties, out of the reach of those who would do them harm?
Would this also not be considered Influence that Should Not Have Been?
How about those Open players who Block others, preventing or greatly reducing the likelihood of instancing with them, thus also preventing themselves from coming to harm?
Your point is taken, and earned, but the otherwise completely legitimate means of circumventing encounters only serves to illustrate an even deeper design issue from which there may never be any real recovery.
Ya know?
I've never seen a person turn blue.
Thank you Jonuss - for providing the opportunity to do so.
Please - immediately begin holding your breath until a "prompt reply from FD" is received. Have someone standing by with a camera. Send pics of you turning blue.
One wonders - light blue, dark blue, azure? What shade of blue do you think you'll turn...
Of course they were faked reports it says so in the OP, and FDEV didn't need to watch the video's when they received them from such a dodgy source they could just ignore them.
As an FDEV customer I'm glad they don't waste support resources on this bilge.
Yep, another poster also linked this case. It does seem to be at the individual developer's descretion but it bears saying that case involved a very serious breach of their game's code and not just a simple exploit or an invulnerability cheat. The guy inserted his own code into their software in order to change the way their software functions and that's a big legal no, no as it messes with their IP and could destroy their game for good if he spread how-to videos about it. That's similiar to how Apple would sue any person if they compromised their new iPhone's patented security algorithms.

I suppose an equal argument could be made that persisting to attack someone who has requested that you cease doing so also interferes with the experience of other users of the game or any Online Features.
Likewise this could easily encompass Station Ramming, Planetary Ganking, Private Group invasions, unwanted chat transmissions, and repeated interdictions.
Just all depends on how well you grease your legal representative and how much you've contributed to the judge's campaign fund.
Have to disagree here. Part of the experience as described by FDev involves getting shot at by people flying other ships. Whether or not it's an NPC or player doesn't matter. And they did specifically state Open was fair game for PvP. Even when they started talking about the new C & P, they said that it doesn't mean they don't want you to be "naughty" (their choice of word) but that there should be consequences if you are.
Therefore, being shot at is part of the experience, as is doing the shooting.
