Trainers/cheating

Arg! Isn't there something that can be done to address this issue?

I remember complaining to someone i was with while exploring radiated areas about how much it was going to cost me to repair my ship, as my repair bill was usualy 100k+ after a good time exploring in radiated areas. The person asked me to hold up, brought up the trade screen, and put $80 MILLION credits up!! I asked him how he has it, he told me that he a program he uses LOCKS his credits at 99 million.

I took 500k from the first person. I spent the next day doing trade runs, and built myself up almost 2 mil. I gave back what i had been given (not wanting to use money i havent earned) and didn't really think much of it. I mean, having tons of money is spoiling THERE fun of the game, not mine.

Then, a few days ago, me and another person got into a fight (not the same person as who had unlimited funds) and everything was going fine. I had him down to half hull, and i was just starting to lose my shields. My next couple hits did nothing to him! For the next 8 minutes, we continued to fight, and i kept hitting him, doing no damage, while he steadily worked down my shields and hull.

I ended up losing the fight, and the guy told me that it pays to use trainers.

honestly... money trainers are... imo... no biggie really... well, compaired to using god mode trainers anyway...

i locked my creds (not using a trainer...) on an empty server just to see some things... and... seriously... if your not a complete idiot, you can money cheat without looking like you are... and, imo, since no one else was around, and i wanted to experiment and explore, i didn't see the harm really...

am i an ass for doing this? i know i had an advantage over others, but money comes easy in this game anyway... (the server i normally play on was getting weird during the middle of my traderuns and i lost con with it... and i wanted to have a lil' fun...)

i suppose i coulda just fired up my own local server... but... ah well...

cheating in a fight by using god mode lame... cash hacking isn't nearly as bad since money is easy... but even that I personally wouldn't do in a populated and popular server...

uhh... i guess this post doesn't really have a point, eh?

DarkStarRulz, can to tone down that signature a bit? It's too large and there are people still on 56k modem that visit. Thanks.

I have PvP turned off on my server because of that. Haven't caught any cheating yet... think most of the cheaters get off on killing other players, and if you take that away from them they have no reason to cheat. It would totally ruin the rest of the game, wheter it is money or invincibility.

Hey now, I cheat and I don't do it to kill other play...uhh, did I just admit to cheating? Right, so you guys, umm, never saw that, ok? Ok? Great! But honestly, the extent of my cheating/modding/editing/whatever you want to call it is adding the Anubis to multiplayer. After singleplayer I just couldn't part with my baby! There's no harm in that, is there?

me personally... i have no problem with you editing to get the normal anubis VHF... and like i said before, i wouldn't mind if you money hacked either...

but, like, if you edit the game so your anubis has level 10 guns, more armor then a battle ship, and the agility of a light fighter... now... there are some problems...

I find that people that hack the game usually have more money than brains....

One guy had nearly 200mill, but didn't know where to get any good equipment. lol, he gave me some money and asked me how to get to "the unknown area".... so I took his money and gave him the co-ordinates of the nearest Sun and told him it was a secret jump hole.... how HARD I laughed when I saw his death message come up.... I can't put it into words....

He vowed revenge, and tried to attack my fully loaded sabre with lvl 9/10 everything with his lvl 6 falcon.... and got owned hard....

Haven't seen him online since :-)

LOL! I will have to try that.

Post Wed Mar 26, 2003 3:06 am

Hahahahaha. Excellent.

Post Wed Mar 26, 2003 9:01 am

Yeah man nice one.....thats the way the cheaters show us every day how lame the are and how low their understanding of this game really is

Hey DSR, long time no see. What server you play on maybe I could join you sometime.

Post Wed Mar 26, 2003 9:01 pm

Hey void! I played on ENU's server (cant find it anymore). Had just gotten a sabre too ;(

I also play on the 24/7 Everyone Welcome (which changed its name to 24/7 Pirate Modded, and cant find it anymore either)

I currenlty play on Elite, and pop my head into various other servers with 14+ people on when i am looking for a server and all my norms are down.
