Putting bounties on players can't come soon enough. These guys are sure to make the most wanted list
So they pair up - continue griefing and when the bounty is high enough, kill each other so they take other players' money?

At 63, I guess I fall in the "old people" category you are talking about. I am in computers since the 1980s, I have built all my PCs myself, have been programming with all kind of languages since DOS times, in my private life and in my job (on large company systems). I have also been gaming for 25 years almost daily. I know well how to use e-mail and I guess I could probably teach you one or two things.
go get 'em serkor, a much needed post, well said
You should of course report him/her, as you have. Unfortunately I've seen zero evidence that FD is doing anything about this - zero. Sure, there's been talk here and there, but I've yet to see confirmation that any action whatsoever has been taken or is explicitly planned. I would therefore advise to simply stay away from Lave and surrounding systems as the vast majority of exploiters seem to be hanging around there.
Not true, persistent ip addresses are quite common. My ip address has not changed in years (I use DNSSTuff regularly in my work) and i reboot the router often. I have not waited half an hour, I must look at that, but there have been times when the router has been off all night and still have the same ip.
"the" implies the forum you are on now, ie FD's ... so you're agreeing with him despite thinking he's wrong.
This !!! I'm 68 and had most of of your job travel, though I started a little earlier.
Don't think, young people, that because we are a lot older than you, that we know less, specially in wiseness...

You don't need to hack to tank the internal station guns. Don't belive me? Take the default e type fitted viper. Put two B2 shield cells on it. Undock, shoot something while inside the station. Pop off both shield cells as needed. Done, you can tank the station for well over a minute. If you fit more/bigger/better shields and shield cells you can last for much longer.
I'm so sick and tired of ignorant people blaming '1337 h4x0rs' whenever their ship gets popped in a station - tanking the internal station guns is the easiest thing in the world using nothing but regular game mechanics.

That is an immersive anti cheat idea that I for one really like, jolly good thinking bootsam.
I had no idea this was possible. Never even thought about it.
If it becomes a problem I will simply retreat to solo.
Personally I would never go down that road. I feel it would destroy my game in the long run.
To be honest I don't really care whether others use money cheats. It does not influence the way I play at all. I feel no competition from them. Already there are many players who had the chance to make many millions more than I just because they could use certain game mechanisms that were in the gamma, but were removed for retail release. I don't care.

Several have been banished to forced Solo for cheating. More will follow. Some hacks have been plugged. More telemetry is being recorded so investigating differences between client behaviour and what the server records will lead to more bans.
The source doesn't matter. If FD are taking action or start to take action, then those using cheats will find themselves penalized in some way (account bans or locked into solo). If it happens to enough cheaters, then it should dissuade the remaining not to bother. This is a case of where FD can't win if they go after the source, but they can win going after those who use the cheats, because the game cost $60 a pop, and not many people can afford to keep buying new licences.

You got a citation for this? Would be good to hear official word on it.
Well, this P2P connection can be a mess. If you have a port open with a direct connection (no server in middle), you can hack the connection and access to the other computer, right?
EDIT: I know there are no secure connections, but you have to trust that the client encrypts the connection.

Really? Can you share your sources? or is it just from your Crystal Ball?
I'll get a warning posting links to hack sites. Google will probably show you something if you look for "solomode".
The increase in telemetry has been confirmed by the Devs.
if you say so..... didn't find anything interesting with solomode in Google, though

Your story isn't believable at all, and it sounds like it's more of a bug than a player cheating. Rather than assume it's a cheat and threaten FD, wait on the result of your submitted ticket. I haven't seen any credible reports of hacking in ED yet, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Your story just sounds far fetched.
Wrong thread, sry!
