Did you bother to get a screen shot of the ppl in that system or you getting killed by them if a no pvp area, so have you ANY proof?

These are the questions you will get asked by any admin, as I see no evidence just a post claiming something. So do it right or not at all.

unfortunately its difficult to get a screenie when you get jumped
as you are too busy trying to survive
mind you thats why i never fly a freighter sad but true can lose too much
though a pratt with mods is the curse of many online games
the only saving grace is that by modding/cheating they have effectively admitted they are crap at the game and cant play it with any skill

I beg to differ if your in a trader you should be watching for idiots like that. So all human players = possibly hostile until proven safe.

But his line about invis/uber shields is the whine of someone pk'd when they should have been watching what/who is near near them, not that somone has been cheating

ok PINGER how the f*** can i pay attention of who is around me when they dont show up on the contact list or WHEN THEIR CLOAKED!

simple press Y and sort the player list by System

I love how players think the serverops know exactly EVERYTHING that transpires on their servers. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

Many people are working on solutions for cheating and this problem will be solved someday, but until then the serverops can only punish cheaters that THEY know about.

I, as a serverop, don't have time any more to EVER play on my server, so I rely on 100% of my players providing screenshots of offences before I ban players.

Simply complaining about a cheater isn't sufficient - we need proof of their actions and we can take care of them accordingly. If you want the problem solved, be prepared to press your printscreen button on your keyboard when you find someone offending the rules and send the shots clearly depecting said offence to the admin of the server you are playing on.

I'd say at the very least .....bashing MP cheaters will at least make it taboo....maybe not SOLVE the problem....but screw anyone who thinks cheating is fun anyway....bunch a low rent losers.....

Good?....Bad?......I'm the guy with the gun.

Because techniclly, Console in Freelancerian means God.

Seriously, i sympathise with the Server Operators. They don't know whats going on. And normally the server isnt really their primary mission in life. Server Operators are people too, they have lives other than freelancer (its hard to believe i know) . So please, modders,hackers,cheaters,legit players. They dont know whats going on. Please for God's sake play fairly, honestly, and cleanly. It's just a game, everyone wants to have fun.

spaz what server were u playing in was it modded or unmodded

cause normally on unmodded servers if there using flso mk3 (i think )

then it catches people automatically and bans them so if u dont want to be jumped then id suggest moving to a server that doesnt allow modding or cheats

personally i play on **uk server** which is a wicked no mod server

have you ever used your light saber to open a bottle of Bud Light???????

Or you can find a server op like me who fixes that player to be the spy for the server and sets them up never to get killed so they can find those who are doing the bullS#%* and stop them or contact them with a warning first..works on my server...

what server?

JoeBoomz has the right of it, you'd think the sysadmins know what is going on everywhere on the server but alas, they don't. On my server I still play so I can see some things but most things I can see only through data mining. Plus I rely on FLSO for cheats, although nowadays the real cheaters (the ones that can be detected by the patch and Lancerguard) banned equal the amount of "cheats" caused by lag. Instead there are more insidious cheats and they are practically impossible to detect. The incidents, real and imagined, have increased for me over the past month so I know something is afoot. No doubt it's the price of popularity as player amounts have risen just as much as the incidents.

While I still have a few tricks left, I wish moby (or anyone) had finished some kind of software to compare INI files before logging on. *sigh* FL is like most M$ software. You can utilize FL and do fantastic things (like TNG mods) but it also let's in the unscrupulous to do equally fantastic things (like speed hacks and Logitech cheats), none of which are useful except in a power-mad person's mind.

does'nt the patch for Fl stop some cheats iv had people try to use some mods and it has kicked them from my server and put there name and account id in a log flie for me to ban them . if you use the clock mod does'nt it need to be on the server side ? or is it just client side only?
