Thanks exploiters/cheaters!

In another thread I threw this together as a not-so-complicated-in-theory scenario.

SRV on a hillside, painting the targets in a well-defended ground complex for a.....

Big ship launching guided missiles while dodging AA plasma repeaters and SAM attacks while....

Fighter cover takes on the ships that keep jumping in to attack the wing while....

Support ship works away firing off hull repair limpets and ammo synth limpets.

There. A wing mission.

To be honest, stuff like this should be the simplest bread and butter experience for surface missions.

Yeah suicide should fail all missions problem solved. At no time in a space ship sim should I have to leave my ship to do something.

Try to ram one...

Never had to (although I still do in small ships, it's no problem, thrusters come back quick), but had some issues when it used to rain.

P.S Isn;t it funny, they were so hot on people not belly flopping ont hem, which was indeed hilarious, but have no issue with dumbfires taking out three at a time (and nor should they, that's the only thing about all this the DOES make sense). Go figure, as they say.

Well thank you VERY much you damn exploiters.

I love skimmer missions, it's my main income and I have been doing them for months and NO I did not use the exploit as I have no interest in that sort of thing.
but now all skimmer missions are gone.. ALL OF THEM!

So I cannot do my favourite thing in-game now and I have to wait god knows how many days/weeks/months for Frontier to put them back in.

Thanks exploiters, you selfish low life, thanks for ruining my fun. [down][down][down][down][down]

Pinch me. Are you seriously for real?

The world literally has gone mad.

Do you like my dancing?

Just to point out, it wasn't an exploit.
No board hopping was necessary.
I went there to have a look, and there were 20+ skimmer missions available straight away.
I did a few.
As my rep went up, those mission just paid more.

Calling this an exploit is stretching things a bit, so I hardly think its constructive to berate players for using the system as-is.

Also there are already threads to discuss this too:
