Shortening travel time during passenger exploit
- Thread starter Kyokushin
- Start date
Does this mean you only get half a Hutton Mug for the Hutton Orbital run from now on?
So what is the current pay cap for missions? Someone mentioned 30mill before it will throw an error. A few weeks back I was doing freighter runs for 44 mill per 180 tonnes, tried to accept a 50 mill mission last night and the mission board took a dump 'Transaction error'.
50 mil is "omg this can't be real, they must be hacking or something" paycap. Have been this way for a while.
Everything below 50 mil should be ok.
Everything below 50 mil should be ok.
It was hauling alien goods for Aegis, those missions are only available in one part of the galaxy. It's the 180 tonne missions that pay ridiculous amounts. You do have a chance of hyperdiction, still I agree, way too high for a freighter run.
Just drink enough of that hutton booze and you will see double - making that a whole Hutton mug
As I said its up to you (btw obviously by definition you won't provide any proof that you *actually* doing it so its 50/50 probability it does not really exist
As "quirks" go I actually prefer to discuss them openly. I don't want trouble with FDev for "using exploits and not-reporting" (yes, there is such a clause, and yes, if its just you who doing it you in much more danger in repercussions because much less visible outcry, unlike with something that everybody's been doing)
It's up to them, when my ED experience comes to an end it comes to an end. I work ridiculous hours irl anyway, even today, I doubt i'll get away from the office in the next 2 to 3 hours anyway, another 8am to 21.30 day... One of the disadvantages of working in an industry that never sleeps. It's why I can never take gaming too seriously, just don't have the time resource.
You're welcome to believe me or not about this stuff though- occasionally I have hinted at things, answered some questions commanders have... Mostly trash talked tbh, but you're welcome to root through some of my old posts.
It's a bad habit of mine, I just can't help waffling, the Mrs would probably agree

One way?
So basically to get that you have to cut the cable when you're in hyper-jump.
That's the same mechanics as combat logging.
FD cannot fix combat logging and you think they can fix that?
People use trick with cutting the cable in many other games.. last time I saw it in Ark: Survival Evolved too.. people were basically using it to duplicate items.
But like I said... FD won't fix that.
EDIT: The only fix I could think of is every time you get disconnected you reappear right by the main star. But there may be some downsides of this solution.

The game is literally all about making money. Lmao
It's not that FD won't fix that, they can't fix that - how do you differentiate between a cable pull and a legitimate internet outage - it's simple you can't!
Regarding your suggested fix, it looks like FD place you back in the system at a safe place, further enough away from the star that you don't get all crispy like straight away. A better solution is on the speed aspect. When you log back in, your ship is placed where it is placed now, but your speed is dead stop, well in SC 30C. That should negate any bonus someone gets from using this bug/exploit whatever.
I don't really suggest it. Just a thought.
Personally it doesn't bother me that someone get more money in less time. There are more serious issues with this game that need to be addressed.

Its very easy to fix. The game knows you've disconnected while in hyperspace.
So on re-connect it should put you back into hyperspace, so you will have time to get your senses together and prepare for safe exit.
It takes around 40 mins to reach Smeaton Orbital, it's a straight run there is no gravity well to slow you down.
I have a question to devs:
When i exit a game during hyperspace then relog to game again i have almost three times shorten travel time to Smeaton Orbital
Instead of starting from 1 800 000 ls and around 50c i can start from 1 300 000 ls and and fly instantly from speed 1400c
Firstly i am collecting a passenger missions through a relog exploit, so shortening a travel time through a relog is also legit?
It is shortening travel from over 1 hour to 15 minutes, so it can tripple my profit/hour.
I discovered it during game crash during hyper-jump.
New challenge: 500mln/hour
In FE2 we could advance the time. But it was the offline mode and solo
I'm trying to figure out if you're serious. I've never ground for money. Ever. When funds run low, I go to my credit gathering activity which I doubt anyone would agree is the most efficient, but it's the one I enjoy doing and it pays well enough...sightseeing tours.
That's why I'm only worth 900m after 2 years of play (with a long break), but don't for one second think that this game is about the money, that's the last thing it's about, money is meaningless once you're over 1.5bn, and the real meat of the game (engineering) doesn't cost a penny (perhaps it should?).
It's just OP's 15,000th different way of trying to get DFDev to prevent re-logging. He's going to keep on dreaming up new ways to exploit it because he assumes that's what everybody else who plays the game is doing. It got boring about a year ago for me. His posts I mean, not re-logging; re-logging isn't even needed to make good (100m per hour) amounts in the game at the moment.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll be using this tonight, anything to speed up the credit collection. Once I've got a billion or two, then I can focus on what the game has to offer without worrying about rebuy, or trading in one ship for another etc. Having flown without rebuy, it will be nice to take in some sights
