Some exploites solved...

Apr 10, 2003 chewy link
one exploit i know people hate is when people pop out of a station, fire at someone while invulnerable, then docking again. to solve this just make it so that the time your invulnerable your guns are disabled. so for x seconds you cant fire any type of weaponry at all. OR if you do fire your invuln automaticaly is gone.

another is people who portal log, as in hit logout when the cinematic for the portaling starts so when on the other side they disappear. when the cinematic starts the logout should cancel, just like if your moving or something.

anyone know of any other exploits and ideas to get rid of them please post them here

I like this idea, especially considering you can explain it realistically by saying your weapons are "warming up" or "calibrating" or something like that.

AMEN Chewy!!!

We had this the other day. There was four of us hunting Leathel.
And he would just undock, kill one of us (who was currently waiting for him nearby) then dock again. In the mean time he would be hit by an average of 9 rockets plus ions. Even When we placed 2 dozen lightning mines down, he stil was proctected for the first 3secs.And once again i apologise to everyone on at that time for the bad language used that night.

I must stress that this 'gang up on leathel' was fair, its called 'payback' with a taste of his own medicine.

Theres no honor in his game and constantly exploiting is certainly not fair on anyone.

/me looks up to the sky and ask's why their was no Vendetta police on at the time.

Thumbs up Chewy!!

WM, was it an international hunt

It was getting so annoying, was even planning to "Sacrifice myself" by hiding in the dock and ramming him out into space when he appeared :-)

True, would've been destroyed by splash damage, but it would have been a sacrifice for the nation.....

.... and ammusing to see leathel go "boom"... literally...

Asphy

hehe

I know, but the best tactic is to enerve him and fly around in 8

I got him 2 times that way, withouth rearming or repairing, I have to say that I had 8% left after the second attack, after first kill I had 80%.

But at that time he was trying to do his all famous lemming "srry lemming for the pun :D"

Oh well, just try to convince sui, to log in as me and have some fun ;)

because he really can't stand me, why I don't know, but he really can't stand me and even if I lift my voice in the chat once he is comming after me :D

ehhe

cheers

devs please say you read this :)
and btw can anyone else think of other exploits that people use besides teh 2 mentioned in this originaly?
Apr 12, 2003 Renegade ++RIP++ link
with enerving him:

just saying hey with my name, and occasionally saying

leathal, stop shooting those newbies. And if you really want to piss him off, so he comes after you, say that it really doesn't take that much skill to kill a newbie that is trading.

always works "when I'm saying that"

cheers

how this post has digressed :)
Apr 12, 2003 Renegade ++RIP++ link
not at all chewy, the point of this hread was to solve exploits.

1) leathal exploits
2) so he is difficult to kill
3) resolve: use what I have stated and he will get himself killed every time.
4) exploit solved :D

so I'm really wondering where we digressed from the topic, if somebody digressed then it would be you for saying that we digressed because due to that unproved lign of thinking I have digressed of the big red thread in my explication with as result that I digressed further from my digression :D :D

lol

cheers

Taunt 'em and watch 'em cry!, or at least attempt to kill you whilest not exploiting.
Apr 13, 2003 Renegade ++RIP++ link
but taunt civil or otherwise you'll end up with a guide on your tail :D

cheers

only if you dont say dirty words in the taunts.
you dont say dirty words and the "Guides" wont get their panties in a bind.
Apr 14, 2003 Renegade ++RIP++ link
euhm dirty words: get stopped by filter :D

are we gonna go after that cheese, are you gonna :D

cheers
Apr 15, 2003 chewy link
hey tell that to the guides man!
filter or not if you say something bad their onto ya like flies on sh#+!
its like they have nothing better to do than harass you for insignificant things.
Apr 15, 2003 Renegade ++RIP++ link
Ok

So we are gonna after the cheese :D

what they mean and I concur with it, is that a filter doesn't mean that you should swear more or conduct yourselve more as a jurk. A filter isn't a ticket that states, you're free to do everything. It's just a second line of defense against badmouthers.

And do you now who is the first line of defense against that? And no, it aren't the devs, it are your fellowplayers. A lot of people don't like that you or somebody swears and that is a reason why you could be killed over and over again.

So in short, try to behave as if you were talking to your parents "or at least to somebody for whom you have a lot of respect" and then everybody will leave you alone on some,excuse me for the badmouthing, bastards who won't leave you alone.

And yes, I know it is difficult, I even purpotrade this rule from time to time. It just means you have to do your best not to be upset, and recal that it is just a game.

cheers

PS: I hope you don't feel offended chewy, wasn't the intention ;)
