FLE or Datastorm for locations.
Thats my current "bain" so to speak. I don't want people to use datastorm and find all the secret new stuff i have included in my latest mod, but with datastorm they can find the new wrecks with wreck only special stuff, find new ships easily, find new everything - including best trade routes.........all without even playing the mod at all!!! (based upon running this BEFORE they actually play it). Since it takes HOURS to try and place stuff around to make it enjoyable for those that LIKE to search and so on, I really resent the fact that lazy buggers can waste all my time and effort by "cheating" my wishes to find stuff. It also gives them the advantage above normal players - which basically means those that wish to make it as easy as possible for themselves have ALL the advantages, which are NOT then available to the rest of them. Hardly fair that someone spends hours searching to find an already looted wreck cause some person takes the "easy" way out.
my only good thinking part is that those who do use it will not play any mod after a week - cause they know and have tried everything - therefore get bored and go away. Then we can get back to trying to make it more enjoyable for those that want to play instead.
No - I don't like datastorm. Its a good piece of programming - VERY good - but it ruins things i spent weeks making.
