It is not so simple. And more so it is also not free. ISP's internal logs are not going to be shown out, okay you probably could get some data from various widely used sites and check if customers from said ISP's ip range had problems at same time, but even that stuff is not free. I really think Fdev is not going to pay for being network detective. More like they just put some punishment points for player, and when counter hits some predetermined value you get banned.
To Solo Play Players: If You Could Disable PVP, Would You Play in Open Play Mode Instead?

- Start date
you don't get a perma ban right away - usually 3, 7 days then a perma if you're a notorious cheater

There are PvP groups out there that happily would show you how to compete with real good PvPers. They meet somewhere in a system and fight against each other and testing different shipbuilds and tactics. You don't need to gank RP Traders and Explorers to have a fight.
Well no. I did that. I had separate net connection for my smart phone, from different ISP, every time I had problems I first checked out my ISP's fault service. About most of time there was no information about any net problems at my area on their network. Not while situation was going on, not after it has cleared. You could google all you want. Things simply don't work out that way.
It all depends on the style of play, many of good PVPers likes to gank RP Traders and Explorers. also not having weapons or shields is not a reason to not be attacked, on the contrary it is a tactical error that does not help in combat.

Why should Frontier of all outsiders get additional insight into internal data of an ISP that is not in any way affiliated with them?
So? I never met such PvPers. Ganking is considered cowardish bevavior by most of the cracks. And I assume that most of gankers are just not good enough to compete in real PVP combat. Yes, of course I know nothing... Getting sick of this gank-excuse thread.

almost all top PVPers in game also are gankers. just saying.
Now this thread is becoming comically. Please let's get a little serious.
They are just another company as everyone else. The ISP will not provide that data. FDev even uses Amazon, thus they are not their own ISP. Besides, individual connectivity data is inaccessible unless you are or have a legal authority. And cloggers are not a reason to get that legal authority.
Btw, if they were their own ISP (like Blizzard, Riot Games, Wargaming, Valve, etc.), they wouldn't need to use peer-to-peer in the first place.

yes, seems you don't really know much about this game yet
That's been my experience. Glad someone agrees with me...
And at this point the discussion is over for me.yes, seems you don't really know much about this game yet
Well yes. I do know from where to search, and simple google search certainly does not provide all answers. In fact in my case it sends you to customer site which btw. is in Finnish. From there you need to navigate to actual fault service page. And at that point there may, or more likely may not be information about situation. I seriously doubt that Frontier is going to do same work, especially involving network engineer with hourly pay. Just half an hour about that eats about all profits you and I have accrued to Fdev when we bought the game.
And when it comes to me, I'm about end thesis away from being qualified network engineer, btw..
How on earth is this thread still bobbing around in the pan?
So...
Someone in this tread said:
The point I was trying to make in response to this was that, unless you bought the game after the most recent patch, the game you bought and the game you are currently playing are two different things. Unfortunately I made an offhand comment about combat logging and certain... individuals latched on to that conveniantly ignoring the real argument. Then someone else decided to twist that to mean I somehow promoted cheating. (reading is hard I guess)
I for instance bought the base game and then later Horizons. The game I bought didn't have carriers, should I demand they be removed because they were not part of what I paid for?
If you bought Odyssey would you want to still be playing the game in the state it was released?
Elite: Dangerous is a "live service game" it is expected to change and it has been changing if it remained stagnant for too long the same people who now try to silence dissenting opinions by telling them "this is the game you bought" would be clamouring for new content.
The point I was trying to make was that "this is the game you bought" is not a valid argument.
