How is this possible CG 88516000 Cr in less than 24 hours

[Heater]

All first off this is not accusing anyone of anything, Just asking how this is possible

Submit combat bonds to the Conservatives of BV Phoenicis at Aoki Dock
This screen shot was taken this morning, but is the same as it was last night at midnight,

Doing the simple math you would have to do 3688167 CR Per hour for 24 Hours to hit this
Even if they were all anacondas@ 36k that would be 102 anacondas per hour!

Cheats, of course. *shrug* Just another way of stuffing the game up for others.

It's always a shame when people ruin a competition for those who are legitimately participating.
Seems basically like another way of gold-farming on top...

Its hard to believe they would have millions of combat bonds not cashed in before the CG started.

In this case the mission states that only the bonds delivered AFTER the mission is accepted.

it says not cashed in, which is very different from already having millions in combat bonds already to cash in.

Aren't combat bonds minor faction specific (e.g. there are no Empire Combat Bonds, but something like Patrons Principles Combat Bonds), so the combat zones wouldn't have been up before it was at war?

Yes they are, but even if they weren't it too much to think they were accumulated before the CG started.
88 million in bounties is huge, in combat bonds its crazy.

We'd get confirmation of potential shenanegans in the next update or 2 over say 24 hours (given they're logged on) of that message yes?

I was just indicating that if the war zones were in existence (I don't know if they were or weren't), that anything gained prior to accepting the mission is valid for turn in once the mission is accepted, so it's not just stuff acquired after accepting the mission.

On another note, I was able to gain around 1m an hour when playing in solo, playing in open was just too annoying due to warping ships etc, so I guess a good group playing in private group could get a few more mill an hour, but it does look like 88m is a difficult target to reach, but I suppose with dedication and time available could be done.

I guess it shows the intelligence level of cheaters. It kind of reminds me about a couple of girls I knew who shared a flat. They had wound their electricity meter back too far and they were burning power like crazy so that the meter inspector wouldn't find a negative reading.

It is why I will never play in open or take part in CG.

Frontier have confirmed they're investigating this:

They do it like this?

How does this stop you from going open?

No logic here.

Using the CG exploit at Capital Ships has been repeatedly reported. Just head to a Capital Ship, set turrets to fire at will and stay logged in until the CG ends. It's an exploit and FD could require a manual key press notified in the HUD on a timer countdown, to continue play or automatically log off. Logging in and settling by a Capital Ship is why some are Elite when they have not been engaged in real combat with either PVE or PVP. They just can effectively set turrets to auto fire and go watch tv.

 

[Steve50]

It'll never happen, but what I'd like to see is proof that Frontier ban these cheats or do as they said and make all the cheats play together. I've not seen any evidence whatsoever of this, I'm beginning to think they are happy for cheating lowlife to ruin their game

bit hazey as to whats been fixed lately - wasn't this addressed already?

I wonder why players think that gaining money fast is a good idea.
You get no sense of working for a goal and more important no experience in using tools needed to stay alive with your new flash ship.
Then rage quit when they get killed by someone similar to them or an experienced player.

Good example of this was when I started playing open last year, after building up a ship in solo. Player drop ship trying to take out my Cobra. I do not kill him, but did drive him off. And got the comment "Well played".
