when you suicde, your Commo will lost, right? i was in London alone and there arent any player in Bretonia system. how can i run AOs when my AOs gone? so what make you think i run AOs?

Like I said in game, chat spams your relog and suicide in a system where AO's are the most profitable... I'm a noob yes, and I don't know all the ways to exploit trade runs but I do know one and that's what it looked like so I asked you to stop and you responded "no", I told you I would write a ticket but even then you still didn't say something in your defence. as stated above I'm also obligated to report abnormal behavior and thats what I did, because chat was on fire with your relogs and Tribbs wasn't online.

It appears there may have been a misstake. Idk who's right or wrong.

I've been talking to ThanhRui as "Mosasaurus" was his alt account and he's saying he didn't do AO exploit, but still, he was where the AO route are today and it's a match.

ThanhRui is telling me he was correcting his reputation with bribes and he's upset that his account got banned.

I can't prove myself more than the screenshot of Mosasaurus reloging and suicide for an hour in New London, and he can't prove he wasn't exploiting. Right before he went off he moved his character to Dublin and he's been talking to me about this incident ever since on his ThanhRui character.

We have come to a mutual understanding but non of us can actually prove ourselves more than we can right now.

I have the screenshot tho, but he swears he didn't exploit, it was a reputation correction by his word.

Any thoughts on the matter and, how can any of us prove who's right more than what we have right now?

Edit: I've asked ThanhRui to join the thread.

As we've been talking, he thinks I'm unexperienced and that's why he didn't want to talk to me when I asked him to stop as his actions were spamming the chat with suicides and relogs.

Yes, I'm a noob, and human errors can occur as I'm obligated to report suspicious activity as long as there are no automatic systems to prevent exploits.

Could someone do something about "Mosasaurus", he keeps exploiting the AO run in New London and it spams the chat.

It's annoying and against the rules. What he does is to kill himself to faster respawn at previous base.

I wouldn't care about his actions if I didn't get to have it all spammed in chat, I have asked him nicely to stop it, but he said no.

Technically speaking?

Well, I see your point, but I don't design stuff without a reason.

Technically these turrets have this cargo space volume to prevent that they can ever be mounted on lower class ships. FL does not have many ways something like that can be prevented. The amount of weapon classes is limited and without the source code of the game no new weapon classes can be added.

Therefore I had to rely on alternative methods to prevent that certain equipment gets mounted on ships which were not intended to have access to that equipment.

The cargo space requirement on these turrets is such a method.

Even if I decide to remove the cargo space volume it would not increase the cargospace of the battleships because I would lower that cargo space at the same time.

Battleships are no freighters, no transports, no trains. Their cargo space always will be limited.

Fair point. Ok so let's say the turrets require cargo, would it be complicated to add cargo volume/weight in item description in the future?

I shall call this thread resolved, I thank you for explaining this, thought I had a bug for sure.

the weapons require that space

Well, in that case I'd like to add as a suggestion for next update to remove the need for turret cargo space for battleships as no other crafts does this. Just look at the Iguana, 4 guns and 2 missiles +1 CD and the rest of the physical equipment pretty much doubles its visual size without snatching any cargo at all... I don't see a reason why battleship turrets would if other ships doesn't get cargo snatched as well.

Technically, in role-playing reality yr.2199 a cargo hold is a cargo hold and that's the space available that wasn't needed to operate the ship. I would understand Flack ammo, or missiles, but energy-weapons such as Battleship Turrets, no, that just ruins it.

Battleships are already nerfed as they are, but this nerf needs to go away. It's not immersive, just annoying.

Pls consider this for next update. /best regards/

Ohoy!

I'd like to report a problem with one of my characters which died in a jumphole... I have an Inquisitor Battleship and something is eating 300 out of my 600 cargo space!

I don't have anything in cargo or anything equipped other than turrets and licences, tractorbeam, and scanner. No torpedos, no missiles, no cargo, no weight-reduction or anything like that, but still stuck with only half my cargo available.

Some NPC was slowmotion-docking from china and while I was waiting for my turn red ships managed to kill me just before ship jumped, died on the other side and now stuck with this.

Pls help, what can I do?
