Admin Notice: Player Owned Bases

[Black Widow]

I hope we will never have to adapt on cheats. But, I'm not so sure now. We are just bunch of enthusiasts playing one beautiful, but free SF mod, facing a challenge of much higher level.

- How long can devs put efforts so big, for so little reward?

- By your opinion, on scale 1-10, how secure server was and how will it be after roll back?

- In answer to you first question, I would have to disagree, the effort devs and admins put in brings BIG Rewards in the form of a Freelancer Server that is still going strong 5 years after Microsoft pulled the plug on the Global Server effectively tombstoning 95% of FL servers within 2 - 3 years, but disco is still here and that is something to be proud of and protected, also disco is a unique gaming experience!

- Secondly, in all honesty I cannot rate between 1 to 10 on the servers state of 'security', why well I am not an Admin so I cannot examine precisely the safety measurements in place to fix / prevent this from happening again.

The roll back is only to wipe any irregularities in player / player base data that were generated during the recent hack on-slaught,

What is key to security is to find the exact means by which the hackers gained access and alter game files to make them vulnerable to attack. Then plug those holes so it wont happen again. It is possible to increase security measures but this process could take some time depending how deep the flaws in security go when they were hacked.

No, online game no matter how firewalled it is, is impenetrable.
