Player Spoofed Info?

Dec 18, 2011 Tohe Spidire link
I've posted a short clip for this. I was approaching dock and noticed a player, "Red Cardinian" who had 20/20/10/0/0 that I thought was pretty impressive. However, he tried ramming me during dock, which prompted me to review the video. But on the player info page 'k', notice that the player has zero kill history or statistics.

Is it possible that equipping a spoofer would cause oddball player info like this?

You were targeting a station guard bot, not Red Cardinian.

This looks fake. I mean who has an video recording of every VO game they've played, with background commentary?

As Strat said, you targeted a bot, not Red Cardigan. If you hadn't cropped out the upper part of that dialog, it would be a lot more obvious, but it's still evident to anybody familiar with TargetLess. Keep in mind, TargetLess puts the username above the health, not below. Red Cardigan was ship number 2 on your list at the time you tried to view his stats, but you viewed ship number 1.

As for the spoofers, they don't spoof stats. They only spoof cargo, in an attempt to fool people who are using a cargo scanner.

Chaosis: The same sort of idiot youtube user that fails to realise that targetless, like all other plugins, sucks.

Ah, I see that I simply had the wrong target selected.

With respect to the clipping, I'd been doing recording at a ratio of 16:9, which for the given resolution meant that I needed to clip a bit. I suppose that I could record the entire window, then clip in the editor. Mind you, I was trying to minimize the amount of work required when posting videos.

I would hardly call the little bump he gave you as you both were trying to dock "harassment". Just a fender-bender. Let insurance handle it.

I could start posting vids of every roid I mine. Wonder if that would go viral?

I bet you all of Alloh's good ideas and dignity that you can't.
