And I don't mean Black Holes.
This thread is to highlight Holes In The Game which haven't been brought to FDEV's attention yet and which certain individuals exploit.
Hole #1
Say we have 3 players. Two of them are winged up and are out to "have a bit of fun" with the other.
Let's call those two Bill and Ted. The third we'll call Bob. Because.
Bill & Ted are having a great time blowing up players in and around a Coriolis station, during which along comes Bob who has been assigned a landing pad there and is through the letterbox and has almost reached his assigned pad.
Just as Bob reaches his pad, Ted has slipped his ship between the pad and Bob.
Meanwhile, Bill starts repeatedly ramming Bob's ship. Eventually Bob's ship blows up.
Hole #2
Bill & Ted are still around said Coriolis station and are having a good laugh causing many player's ships to be blown up in and around it.
Eventually, the station and station security have had enough of these shenanigans and have started Firing Everything at Bill & Ted's ships.
Bill and Ted just laugh. They know all they need to do is to supercruise away from the station and straightaway head back to it, which they do.
The moment they arrive back, they find that the station and station security - who moments before were unleashing Hell on them - have developed amnesia and don't know Bill & Ted from anyone else. Bill & Ted continue on their rampage until the next time they need station & security to develop amnesia.
Scenario 1 above seems especially heinous, as there is nothing Bob can do about the situation as he can't exactly run away from it. The only real option left for Bob is to log out - something some people might call "combat logging".
Scenario 2 is simply daft. Station and Station Security should not immediately forget the fact that not 5 seconds ago they were blasting away at the two criminal scum Bill & Ted.
Discuss - oh and if you have more examples of similar holes in the game, it might be good to alert FDEV of them by mentioning them in this thread.
(inb4 "Whoa dude!")
