That creates an interesting situation.An exploit is something not meant to happen in the game, Frontier says it is what it is, so it is not an exploit, is a consequence of mechanics, and add that it doesn't directly harm anyone, (add that most of those things mentioned shouldn't work anymore) then what is really the problem? yes others might use it to gain stuff for themselves, but does it affect anyone but themselves? other then possible PvP scenarios?
meta alloy collecting community goals. Without reloging we wouldn't even get to stage one because there aren't enough hours in the day...
That creates an interesting situation.
Lets say you're right. This feature is not an exploit. The developers did intend log on/log off to be used to refresh the bulletin boards. They also stated that using the log on/log off this way is against the spirit of the game. So the claim means that the developers knowingly put a feature in the game that is against the spirit of the game.
Or ... the statement from the FD employee was meant to placate the community when everyone was having a hissy fit at the time, and FD did not knowingly put a feature in the game they themselves deem to be against the spirit of the game.
I know which one of those explanations sounds more credible to me![]()
With regard to the OP, and the "Just don't do it" reply, I agree. That won't cut it.
What is needed is persistence in the Mission Boards (amongst many other areas). Open/Solo/Private, all the same missions.
The problem is that 90% of all players using this feature. Why i'm writing this down here is i want that FD change their gameplay to a good one without killing immersion and cause a lot of server traffic...
I agree with OP. Simply saying don't do it is not a good enough answer. If you're trying to raise the influnce of a faction in one system to gain control and someone else is trying to elevate a different faction and they are menu logging to stack missions you are hamstringing yourself if you don't do the same. The universe effectively becomes rigged against you.
Do you realise the amount of irony you just posted?Let me guess some things about you. You like solo, you get jealous of anyone who has anything better than you. You can't fly to save your skin and you presume far to much about people you have never spoken to or met.
Well, as seems usual, you would be incorrect.
Yes I play Solo - certainly by internet connection but probably by choice.
Jealous? Jealous of what? That's an Open idea to be concerned, worried, anxious, about what other players have or are doing. You say it yourself above. In Solo why would I care about how you play your game.
Can't fly to save my skin? Not sure exactly what that means but I seem to get from point A to point B just fine.
And finally I like small ships and have been using them exclusively. Edit: 3 months into my latest career I just bought a Python 3 days ago. Been flying that heavy ever since.
My apologies if you were offended. It seems all our PvP'ers are the "good ones" who hang around Eravate helping noob's. Amazed anyone gets killed in Open with all these heros around. And a Python in "5 days" eh? Must have been some serious marathon gaming in a starter ship.
Again. Why does anyone care what another player does in a damn game? Solo and PG's players don't. Always a sign of the Open PvP'er.
It's easy... give us the opportunity to choose our own commodity reward for doing a mission. So you could get what you need.
you missed my point about making judgements about people you dont know. i do not look for pvp, however if it finds me i will fight, run or die. As long as players are held to same rules as NPCs(read everyone) i dont care whos flying..
And why should i/you care about what happens in open/solo. Apart from the fact you can effect the BGS from your hidden instance without me ever finding out why. *cough ahem sidetracked*
Whatever happens to one mode happens to the other. so if something gets nerfed or becomes OP, it affects both.
and yes, 5 days of doing sothis runs , easily achievable.
In every thread regarding "realism", "immersion" or other similar words someone pops up and gives a statement like this. And it is by far the WORST you can say. This "who cares"-attidude is nothing but pure ignorance of other players.
Yeah, that exploit definitely needs to be closed so people stop complaining about how doing the same thing 24/7 is grind and how that's all the game has to offer.
Well it looks like we have common ground here.[...]
As far as I understand it is created server side... All players at a station will view the same set of missions. I think.
