worried about the anticheat software...

[Tic]

The server will not ban you automaticly, it will write a message:

"Possible cheating detected: playername. Please consult the admin."

Or something similar to that, i cant remmember...

So it wont ban u just warn u, my advice is to take SS and log off(dont activate cruise or anything, just log off),
PM admin with SS and ask what was it about. And if u were cheating... Well... Report yourself and ask for
leniancy(cant spell it, admit it so you maybe wont get perma-banned).

I also have FLMM 1.4 and was using Speed mod in SP so when i deactivated it must have stayed on. But i
dont know how because my speed was still 350 and i was going as fast as all other players. Hood said
software probably picked up a 'shadow'...

Stupid as i am, i activated cruise after i got that message, and got banned, but thanks to Fellow Hoodlum i
got unbanned. Thx again Hood...

Then i reinstaled my FL and FLMM and deleted all folders, since then everything works perfectly.

I am not in a position to state that the anit-cheat has bugs or not. However, I did witness one of these so-called innocent folks blatantly using the speed mod. He was perma-banned, and of course denied using it and had a few people vouch for him. I assure he had used the speed mod. I was cruising directly behind him through open space (no asteroid field or NPC's) and he was pulling away from me at a very high rate. Later I saw him again and he seemed to going normal cruise speed but had no cruise trail behind him.

Now, I dont know how the speed mod works as I have never used it, but do you select your cruise, thruster and standard speed? Couldn't one set the cruise speed at like 1000 and the thruster speed at 350? That way you could cruise when no-one is around and thrust when folks are. Thus making it appear as if you have no speed mod. I don't know, Im just asking.

Secondly, why have no upstanding, long-time members been accused by the anti-cheat? Why have we not seen McNeo, or Blunt, or Denelo, or me, or Dab, or any other number of folks we know would never cheat tracked by the anti-cheat? Now I really have no say in whether or not the thing is shady or not, cause I dont know, but just wanted to give a couple of nuggets to ponder.

Good point, but some reputable members of the community have got bugs on their computers which sometimes force speed mod on in spite of them deleting it and the like.

just to throw in something i am sure you have tested - the camera ship thrusts to 300, cruises 350. its invisible - but not the engine trail. - in a dark system... at a good distance, all you see is the glowing trail ( could aswell be a raven claw or anything else small and dark ) - you ll have it thrust around in around 300 without a trail.

just a reminder that we do have ships that can exceed the "normal" speed rules.

Shipdesigns made for DiscoveryGC

Well the Speed mod has 3 settings as far as i know, 600, 1200 and 3000(not sure 'bout this one)

But you have option to Double the thruster speed so ship goes at 400kph with thrusters, so here is the problem.

Maybe Igiss could ask makers of The Void mod, since when u activate it none of other mods can
be activated, not even the speed mod, and make the same for 4.85...
Maybe even reissue present mod...

speed is constant...and thus is writen in one of the INI files in your game folder. When you activate the game, game read's it and voila...what is written, is in game. Simple as that. Also...anti cheat program knows your speed before you even engage cruise, thrust or anything...

Since speed mod has several selections of speed it would be best that players who acctualy go 1000, 2000, or 3000 be banned automatically...However, those strange, pretty low speeds (500 or 600) should be checked out...People who want to cheat, who want to go fast, they would most probably use very high speeds...but when someone flies at 489, 556, or 623 (examples only) that could be a glitch in game.

Fact is that discovery as well as any other mod change the game in many ways. Since this game was made under Microsoft, i wouldn't be surprised of strange ways that can lead to these mistakes...

also..spinning, raming or any other way of accelerating your ship above 420 wont be registered...anti cheat doesnt meassure what speed you go..but what speed you can go...and like i said in the begining that info is stored on your computer in game INI file...
