I'm in for a bit of scraping!
Odyssey Aimbot hacker Party?
- Thread starter Friendlytrader001x

I can't imagine too many folks coming to ED just for the FPS addon. There are countless multiplayer shooters already, many of them long-established with hugely loyal fanbases - that's a difficult market to compete in.

Multiplayer FPS is a long-evolved genre that has significant cheat penetration. FDEV is brave to enter this space.
My player-based experience in these is that P2P seems to be more vulnerable to cheats than central server game play found in survival and battle royale games. That is not to say that cheats do not happen on central servers (they do), they just seem to be less frequent.
Another feature in these games that helps is a quick in- game reporting tool. Loops that require the submission of captured footage are generally not as effective.
One of the most annoying cheats in these games is undermesh or collision glitches. Even with baked maps, players expertly figure out these soft points and exploit them mercilessly.
Given FDEVs passion for procgen maps, I am wondering how they will integrate localized combat spaces with procgen perimeter maps. We've all experienced mesh weirdness near engineer bases or other map inserts in ED.
If FPS in Odyssey is not instanced near specific combat zones, and can roam across the global map, we can expect real problems with mesh interaction cheats.

Better solution: Hire a gunslinger!
The most popular and secure games have hackers. Elite is neither of those things, but luckily I've never encountered a hacker while playing.
Wow, as if we didn't have enough of this bologna in the current edition of the game...
SSDD, combat will never be the most effective way to influence PP/BGS, and EVERYTHING except just flying around influences the BGS. You can't fight someone on a different platform, in a different time zone, or in a different instance.
There are cheats in ED already. There's no reason to think Odyssey will be any better or worse in that regard. There's also no reason to think Odyssey will put a particular emphasis on PvP and competitive play, so the impact of cheats will remain marginal in the grand scheme of things.
I can already see the entire FPS community leaving other games behind just to play Odyssey and enjoy the SeAmLeSs p2p connection. Imagine how mad the devolopers of Counter Strike and Rainbow Six are right now? They are doomed!
But then FDev will remove spaceships and turn Elite into a FPS-only game... We are doomed!

Pretty sure it will be drowning in cheaters, if you partake in PVP part at least, quite soon. Using cheats for ED isn't something outlandish here, plenty of reports in the past and now.
To be fair, if player is really interested in shooter part of the game, it's pretty common question. I personally haven't seen even B2P modern shooters that aren't infested with all kinds of hacks. So maybe he is seeking "safe heaven" in Odyssey?elite has anticheat and you can always report suspicious players.
you joined the forum and directly focus on anti-cheat for the on foot FPS part.
are you also joining the game only for the FPS Shooting?
(if so, welcome!)

I personally can't wait for the avalanche of "WHY IZ DERE NO KILLSTREAK BONUS IN DIS SHOOTER GAME!!!!11!!" threads.I can already see the entire FPS community leaving other games behind just to play Odyssey and enjoy the SeAmLeSs p2p connection.

I just hope a cutter ramming a player on foot won't be like ramming a skimmer, though it would be funny if it works like this in the alpha.

I imagine being hit on the head by a 500t ship should hurt just as much as being hit by a 20t ship
Well, I am old and expect the same... I may be pants at ship flight, but all those years of FPS games must be worth somethingWell, I already know I’m going to get accused of lag switch aimbot wall hax! But it’s not true, you’re all just old
I don't think you'll find me in any infantry war zones anyway. I'm a pilot, why'd I go down there to get shot at directly, when I can be inside a big armored and shielded ship instead?
The only reason I carry a sidearm is to speed up orders at the bar or to train speed draws while exploring 20K lightyears away from the bubble.
It's a bit of a shame that so many think about space legs must be for FPS only...

What is CQC ;D?
That thing in fighters that Fdev did that was very popular for a time but was essentially abandoned by them, and is now populated by around 30ish near godlike players and the occasional new player they turn into fresh ground chuck for Kuhmo burgers.
