How exactly is this an exploit when the purchase price is higher than the selling price, ie buy for 100 and sell back at 80? Or in this specific instance, buy for 6580 and sell for 6445.

Kindly explain.

I was at 1 station, but I could fly to another one in a second window. After that the profit is as good as you can find. 1 mil between alt-tabs in a Type 9? Easy.

Hmmmm. I'm really missing something here. It looks as though both Clients are at the same station. So you're buying at George Lucas and selling at George Lucas, where the price margin means you're always making a loss?

Can you please explain in more detail why this is an exploit? OK, I'm sure that the same user should not be able to log on twice at the same time, but does it allow any freedom beyond what you've shown? e.g. can you take off and fly to Lave in one window, Zaonce in the other, and do some inter-station trading without taking off??

EDIT: Ninja'd by OP! Can you show a video of this please?

well he buys all the avaliable rare commodity on 1 but its still availiable on the other. Im curious to if he can also then leave the station on 1 and fly 160ly's away and then just keep buying on 1 and selling on another.

That's not what your video is showing. You are at the same station in both instances. But I'll take your word for it...

Those are two different games and they obviously don't sync up player location but do sync up player cargo through the server. This exploit should be easily detectable server-side though, so it is not a good idea to use it to get rich.

It helps if the video you provide actually shows the 'exploit' you claim exists ;)

Were you too lazy to actually fly to another station in the 2nd client ? Or is that where the game detects you being in 2 stations at the same time and prevents the exploit you think is there ?

I wasn't really expecting an update, so that put me off. I will post a video, unless they miraculously fixed it in 1.1.03.

So you're not sure but you're still claiming it is in your title ?

Please report any exploits via the ticketing system rather than posting on the forums.

(Even though the video posted doesn't show one really).

Thanks.
