Cheating in Elite Dangerous
- Status
God I hope not
After a quick search (on my phone) I found the forum for this hack tool and apparently FDEV does have the capability to detect when such tools are in use: "Unfortunately we have confirmed the intentional use of a client manipulation method with your Elite Dangerous account with breaches our Terms of Use." The notice goes on to explain a soft ban into solo mode for 72hrs and further "instances of this behavior may include removal of assets and credits" This post was from Sep 2018. It's an interesting read.
No, it's just you and Paige really look alike. Tell devs to fix those HUD and forum colours ASAP. ;-)
Blame TJ for everything !!!!Yes, my apologies.TJ was the one that closed the thread. I completely forgot about Paige on the first page.
I sincerely hope Paige and T.j don't look anything alike. Paige is cute, while T.j is....not.
Sadly I can't. Both my mum and Buddhism taught me it's always my fault.
I have feeling you know!!! Admittidly it's true but even so....
I would rather not since it leads to downloads of this hack tool. I'm reading the section now (in Dec 2018) where the latest ED patch broke their tool and sent them back to the drawing board. I get the sense there is an arms race between this community and FDEV. FDEV is not the passive pushovers we seem to think they are. They know how to detect it, break it and ban users of it.
are the volunteer moderators trying to derail this thread again?
Back to the naming and shaming cheating please

I'm just going by your avatar
That explains everything.
False equivalence. A cheat is an unfair advantage that is counter to the rules, not simply any advantage at all.
I've put something like 6500 hours into this game. Playing like someone who has put ~6500 hours into this game is going to be functionally superior to most cheats in the hands of an abject novice, but that doesn't make experience a cheat.
Ye, comes down to interpretation, doesn't it. When the game is unfair from the get go - don't wonder when there's players trying to get around that.

Going by the other guy's erroneous statement, Any player with experience and a ship that is fully built and engineered are just as bad as the actual cheaters.
I don't know. Your statement is very much along the lines of this:
A: I worked for years to earn money. Now I own not one but even two houses, so I rent one out and make good money that way.
B: Those who haven't made that money are at a disadvantage there. It's no surprise they mug people.
I am really not convinced that I can support your point of view here.
Blue, orange... All same to me.
Sorry once again, but I'm irked by frequent attacks at community managers who should obiously completely disappear from the forums until they get a blessing from the top floor to say: "We're on it and we can't say more".
Cheaters aren't working around unfairness, they are perpetrating it.
There are a handful of minor biases worked into the game, but by and large, everyone is provided with the same opportunities to learn and master various game related skills as anyone else.
Yes, it takes a copy of Horizons and yes, it takes time. There are no skill based activities that do not take time and no activities that require tools that don't have some form of initial expense.
I'm not a fan of Engineering either, but to consider an deliberate and well established part of a game equivalent to a cheat if utilized, is laughable.
Especially when said PvPers have already been caught cheating themselves.
