I like PvP, but I also dislike all the scum who exploit in it. For example, I used to fly an adder, and I would get interdicted by a Python who'd disable my engines and force me to suicide... Because he could... Personally I think bypassing the murder penalties like that should be a bannable offense, but it isn't. I almost always play in open, but I'm not going to be meat for some angry preadolescent again. Nobody deserves that...

You want to (censored) some meat, head to a butcher - I aint gonna judge.

Honestly that is not an exploit, that is just using the game as it is. Rock, scissor, paper....

Kill engines so you don't take a murder charge for murdering someone? Not an exploit?
Why are you trolling?

It's clearly and obviously bypassing the laws of the game for an unintended benefit. Slicing someones throat and watching them bleed out is murder.

Kind of like Dune, where you would put people in situations that you know will kill them but keep your hands clean so you can truthfully say you didn't kill them

Repair & Reboot solves that now. You can get sub-systems back on line. So, no more free destructs by stranding.

Not sure if it is a bug, but just looked because I was going to test the Reboot and Repair, only to find I don't have a Reboot or even a Self Destruct. Asked a friend and they do not either.

Cody · Jun 20, 2015

I have R&R and SD both available in the functions list - untested, of course, but the options are there.

If I recall, they only show now should you actually need them (so you have sub system damage or about to die anyway) - to stop any accidents from happening when you are in the menus.

Edit;

@Cody, yea mine are always showing, but I have heard of people who only see them when they've taken damage. Either bug for ours to show, or bug others don't see them all the time.

I believe you can reboot engines now?

PS if anyone is interested I am in open tonight, I will be in Diso in about 20 mins with 200k of rares in my type6 (Diso buy price), I will be on for an hour or 2, back & forth to Diso, I am more than happy to share my cargo with the first CMDR to come and escort me all the way to the no fire zone safely

*Shrug* Had it before in my Eagle, maybe the DBack Scout is different. 98% on a few systems. If I ever need it I guess I will find out if it shows up

Well Your in an area Friendly to me, but many many light years away from me

AM out in the black looking to chart new routes.

You can only see those options in regular space. You won't see the options in SC.

Curious - it wouldn't be a ship-specific thing, would it? I'm in a Cobra - the stock explorer variant.

would explain it, I'm in SC exploring and hadn't thought of that. reboot worked, but repair failed because I dont' have an auto repair kit I think.

Mohrgan · Jun 20, 2015

You may have to attempt the R&R a number of times to affect a repair. Keep trying.

I am in a type 6 and see both options, and no I will not try either option to see if they work (I am docked).

Eta, interesting, I will reread the last page or two tomorrow.

Cody · Jun 20, 2015

Yeah, looks like the guys above have got it. <slinks back into cupboard>

Reboot and Repair is a function listed in the right UI panel that allows pilots to repair broken modules with the cost of cannibalizing healthy ones.[nb 1]

The health taken from healthy modules is double the amount of health given to broken modules. Furthermore, the function will not work if no modules have less than 5% health or if there aren't any broken modules.

am only at 97% so that is why
