Cheating Vs Combat Logging

[Zed]

scripting, bots, hacks all effect server performace and stability esp if they're flakey. disconnecting does not. definatly not the same thing

I'm in a private group but nowhere near anyone else in that group and yet I have 6 open connections to ED servers. If you think me disconnecting will have no impact on server performance you're wrong.

so other than freeing bandwidth what negative effect do you think "hanging up" will do?

What you call Combat Logging I call a Blink Drive. #DarkMatter

Both types are against Frontier TOS . A simple database query would flag up ship stats that exceed the normal range as would players whom have regular or irregular data drops.

Personally I reckon fdev know , they can’t not know really, and what they do to protect the integrity of their game is their business and not ours. What I would say the cheat is doing is encouraging players not to play in open, which in itself kinda spoils the whole concept of a MMO
