I wonder, is there even any chance that fdev will solve the problem of combat log? I know Mr. Braben to personally call it cheating. I've seen it myself) I recently spoke with one of the new players, and he said to me that actively uses the combat log even in solo that would not have to pay insurance. Is this normal? It really does not matter to anyone?
Problem is, it's n'th on the list of things to address IMHO:-
1) Introduce better Crime and Punishment. Both the game better policing itself and higher/serious penalties for the illegal destruction of Pilots Federation members.
2) Give piracy better mechanics. It's nigh on a mess at the moment, after nearly 2yrs!?
3) If someone if soft logging out to Menu in a combat situation, show this timer to any/all CMDRs in the instance. At least pirates know another CMDR is/isn't soft logging out then!
4) Introduce legal PvP mechanics/tasks in the game. The game in trust does nothing to orchestrate/promote legal PvP. No wonder there's loads of CMDRs simply interdicting any/all other CMDRs in the hope of some PvP given the game offers no alternative!
5) Penalise combat logging. The game can keep track of repeated "exits" during combat situations, especially those involving other CMDRs, and give out warnings then take mroe serious action in required. eg: Increasingly long bans to SOLO?
