So basically it's okay to exploit game mechanics (server ticks) if we do it with Titans but it's bannable if we do it with a Battleship?
Don't get me wrong, I understand that the reason, that stuff like this is working has to do with multiple factors like invisible model size, server ticks, mass, bad pos code and god knows what else. We do not ask for a fix because it's probably impossible to do in a timely manner. But you can't just come along and declare that this obvious exploit (that CCP itself declared as a bannable offense) is suddenly 'emergent gameplay' if you do it under the right circumstances. There is absolutley ZERO difference between applying this 'tactic' with subcaps or supercapitals, they exploit exactly the same flaw in the code and mechanics and by CCPs own ruling thats an exploit.
If you decided to change this, you should have announced it in a Devblog for everyone to see. This way you gave an extremly unfair advantage to two playergroups in the game, without telling anyone else. Looks like some things will never change. |

If you're not in the same alliance as the bumped titan, odds are the intent was hostile.
If you are in the same alliance as the bumped titan, odds are your cyno pilot is either a ******* moron that should be executed for incompetence, or is a spy.
It really isn't that difficult to move around to the other side of the shield where your supposedly friendly cyno won't bump anything inside the shield. Are we really trying to argue that people can't see the giant ******* titan on their screen? Because I don't think anyone's going to buy that argument.
He is arguing that you could obtain the POS Password through spy/intel/luck and use the same technique without it beeing an exploit.
It's a valid point but I'm pretty sure that it's possible to figure that out later, right now it's important to know if titans in a ******* POS that noone can enter are (supposed to be) save or not. |
