Deposits should not respawn before 3 or so hrs have passed. Making them instantly respawn is a glitch (that is why they try to patch it), which saves you a ton of time by not having to seek for depostis elsewhere (which is the intended gameplay). It is clearly an exploit.
Any compensation incoming for non-exploiters?

Yes, I agree.
similarly I think many must be using the exploit to 'stick it to the man' by gaining CR using a method that fdev didn't intend....and to be frank, getting a compensation is not my goal here. I just have the inner urge to bring up subjects that are justice, ethos and behavior related. However weird that might sound to some..
Maybe the exploiters are the ones who should be compensated - all those hours spent relogging / messing with SLF - can't have been much fun
(and all they're left with is a pile of credits which are pretty useless
)
Isn't knowing you're a good person enough?
10 X,s on the trot lol
I dont even see this as an "exploit" but intended game play Ive recently started an Alt Cmmdr and used the abilty to gift resources in return for them staying on my Carrier to help with refueling when I am not on board in a T9 i facilitated the purchase of , they need the funds to buy tritium (at high prices) to then donate to the carrier since its not possible to remote transfer yourself

I would feel exploity if I did it. The trouble is, FD have muddied the waters by setting up so many situations where relogging looks intended. I remember a couple of years ago they said they were aiming to have materials at places like Dav's "remember who had collected them". It's obviously proven too complex though.
I would have exploited the exploit until the number of credits I had would have been so exploitive that I could exploit the riches of those who exploited alongside me...
I just don't like mining much, an hour every month or so is fine...

Solution: It would be relatively easy to determine automatically from the logs who has mined the same asteroid over and over in a short time span. It would also be quite easy to determine the yield obtained. Multiply by 1.2 million and deduct from player’s account. If player goes into debt, no rebuys or commodity purchases are possible until the debt has been paid. Sure, it is not removing all the profit made, but significantly reduces payout in comparison to legitimate mining and it protects traders that have no way of knowing where the goods came from.
All these evil exploiters have never once affected my own gameplay.
While we are on "effic,s" I also ,every time I buy 720T of Tritium at around 4k a ton deliver 720T of water to the thirsty Station
So, you want to be compensated for not doing anything, while others used exploits? Now that's entitlement.
That's the most absurd and hilarious thing I saw this week.
So 10 is an exploit, but 9 isn't?
Getting just some of the people exploiting it and leaving others to keep their cash also isn't going to end up a great look.
If people go back and forth between two separate asteroids, does that get picked up because they never mined the same rock twice in a row? etc. etc.
Being able to transfer money to other players or offer services to other players for cash is absolutely not an exploit.
However, it can make it very hard to tell where the money from things which are exploits ends up. If the moral ends up being "do your exploits on an alt then launder the money through your main's fleet carrier" it's not really doing anything to discourage exploits.
But, it also means that "exploit on an alt, give the money to main (and a few other random people to muddy the trail)" becomes a very simple meta to get out of it.
It'd work the first time, and then everyone inclined to exploiting would have learnt by the second one to cover their tracks marginally better.
Agrees, both times.
Btw, how did you delete your double post. Is there a forum function I don't know about?
I didn't double-post. Though I'm interested now why/how you saw double.
You aren't going to get a bonus for playing as intended, nor should you.
This is why such cheats are so problematic and cannot be left unaddressed; they allow those willing to break the rules to play by a better set of rules, a set of rules that can become entrenched and shift both player expectations and future developer responses. At this point I think it's fair to say the entire course of the game has been shifted by Frontier's lack of foresight, iffy QA, and their unwillingness to clamp down on exploiters quickly and decisively enough.
It's good that you can ignore the effects they have on the game, but plenty of others, who are taking advantage of more of the features the game has advertised and offered, are affected by these issues.

Only in your head if you believe it.
