[Bigmaec]

So CMs are playing in popular busy systems and getting caught on camera in unfinished ships with special weapons..

Draw your own conclusions.

I rather draw the conclusion it's hacking, than some "secret" dev test.

It was showing up as 'Mamba Lite' at times

I think this has been in the files for a while along with the 'Other Ship'.

You mean the Panda Clipper ?
I seriously hope someone stumbles across that.

So Planet Zoo Elite Coaster ships confirmed then?

Come on, that was da Bruce taking the Area-51 stuff for a careless spin, getting ganked by three teenagers on way too much energy drink What has this galaxy turned into, i ask?

 

[GroG79]

Or Leaking under your own account......?

 

[Pigletslastand]

So what internal slots did it have?

 

[Pigletslastand]

Frontier need to get on top of this.. there's more out there now (This is not my video btw.. just showcasing there are more players out there using this hack)

That video is from November and it displays all the same hacks that we saw last night. Ability to shutdown a ship and then one shot it with a beam weapon. So this has been in the game for well over a month now.

 

[Darth Ender]

this will all be covered up under the "no naming and shaming" rule and we'll just have to hope that not being able to expose it here eliminates it being used in-game. Cuz that's how games work.

 

[Jaden Capek]

Well, now I'm excited for the Mamba Light. It looks good, even with the low number of polygons and no textures.

 

[Guyperson]

If it's a hack they managed to access Bruce's account or at least make it look like that.

There isn't much you wouldn't be able to hack in a p2p game. Spoofing your identity is probably easier than the ship hack itself.

Ah ok.. I have no idea how these things work.

 

[DrinkyBird]

Of course Bruce is a cheater, I can't see any other explanation for all the times he killed me in CQC...

 

[Caydran]

What, the Mamba has a "cloaking device"?

I'll be excited when I see it ingame and then the specification.

I have noticed when entering the elevator at a station that an odd molded geometry with soft angles (even though it is a cylindrical space) often appears. I wonder if this Mamba is a similar artifact of a prerendering process.

It could be, yeah. Like the nature of the hack prevents it from using the fully rendered geometry.

Yeah would make sense to have a low poly render in there as a placeholder if they intend to bring it in the future but haven't done all the detail work yet.

They most likely have some models with more details, since the alpha data leak contained files for paintjobs.
