- Hmm Pound it out for Trans Issues? <- is that an ok slogan? – Psykokow
- Hacking Protest at Jameson Memorial
- Full Stream
- On Sunday 2nd June Cmdr Nick Naylor in a Beluga called “The Community of Elite” protested cheats in Elite Dangerous, and the lack of apparent action by Frontier. By… cheating.
- Protest Started about 20:00 BST
- ~ 21:45 he was pushed out of the mailslot by a determined Commander in an Imperial Cutter
- 21:49 he did a cheat, insta-high-wake from right next to the mailslot to another system (Nuenets)
- At no point did he take offensive action against players.
- He has turned on invulnerability and other things and is wedged inside the mailslot of Jameson Memorial in Shinrata Dhezra. He’s getting shot by players AND the station with no effect…
- After the protest, he agreed to voice comms with Cmdr Plater
- Sounds very humble
- Fully accepts the loss of his Cmdr in to which he’s invested > 2000 hrs of game play
- Aftermath… CMDR Exigeous & CelticSpartan01
- UPDATE: Nick will be joining CMDR Exigeous on stream Tuesday June 4th at 8 PM GMT (Midnight GMT)
For those that didn’t see yesterday CMDR Nick Naylor, a vetran player of 2000+ hours put his account on the line by staging a protest yesterday. CMDR Plater streamed this – he used the hacks to block the mail slot of a station with a Beluga. Frontier has, appropriately, banned him – yet his first action resulted in a permanent where others get 3 days first, 1 month second and then permanent. The inconsistency should infuriate ALL players – WELL DONE TO NICK FOR TAKING THIS STEP!
- UPDATE: Nick will be joining CMDR Exigeous on stream Tuesday June 4th at 8 PM GMT (Midnight GMT)
- Cannon Does some Science on the Advanced Multi Cannons
- A two-component damage model was used to estimate the damage partitioning of the newly developed AMCs. It was found that, when configured with AX ammunition, the AMCs deal 100% AX damage. That fact was leveraged to get a handle on the AX resistance of human technology. It was found that human shields have an AX resistance of 95% and human armor plating has a resistance of 90%. By corollary, other facts about about the AMC were confirmed, such as damage per shot and Armor Piercing.
- Elite Dangerous – Sidewinder full interior – walk inside my ship concept
