' Wrote:As title says. In previous betas we was able to run multiple Freelancers in one Windows account. For now, this feature was disabled.
I've contacted with Cannon, he's told me it's was disabled and he's not decided yet - bring it back or not.
So, I started this topic with poll - do you like to see this feature back or not? It's was so useful to transfer things.
Let's help Cannon to decide:)


I vote Yes as well. So convienient to transfer goods. Beats jettisoning and logging the other guy in and hope that the spot you jettisoned was close enough to where your ship is so you could see the cargo (6k range) on your scanner...Have lost thousands of silver ore due to this.

I COULD swap over to one of my other machines and load up freelancer there to do cargo swaps but its such a pain. alt-tabbing is way easier than getting up, especially if the other machines are doing stuff or not with me/in the car, etc. (in the case of laptops)

As far as abuse, I don't really see how it helps much, unless you're just trying to cut down on abusers who happen to only have 1 machine. Which i'm sure some nutbag will make a discrimination argument for... (not me) but those with multiple machines can still multibox, and gain an 'unfair' advantage (is it really unfair they have multiple computers when you can just go buy one?)

Also just FYI, for you techie-noobs out there there are ways of identifying individial computers behind a sinlge IP address, its called port translation. How do you think all the web servers keep all your different web sessions separated when they think they're just talking to one person (ip address) Like when you and 150 other people are all on facebook at the same time at the same university or whatnot. Now whether or not you can get the router to report the actual mac address of the port owner and therefore seeing if its a separate physical network card (identifying physical computer in most cases) I'm not too sure on, probably could on your residential firewalls, but good luck on any real routers....Anyways, as the 1980s scientists used to say in the old movies: " We can make it better, We have the technology"
