Yup, you can photon Fedspace if you know how to get around it. Uncloaked a red at Stardock just today [:D]


It's post like these that makes me wish JP Would have added in an automatic system for banning ip/ipranges from a global server to stop people who use cheats..

my .02

As stated before you cant fire photons 'to' (edit'd from the word from, typo) fed, doing otherwise would be bug use..

You meant "fire photons into fed"

Hmmm...and here I thought turning fed space ptorps on meant you could ptorp terra. Learn something new every day

Yea, me too.. I thought the same thing.

Heh. Hehe. HAHAHAHAHA.

I do not feel so bad now from when before I thought FedSpace Photons meant firing Photons into FedSpace and not from FedSpace. I am; however, learning from my mistakes.

Yea, think I'll learn from your mistakes too.

Orion, if we didn't learn from our mistakes we wouldn't still be playin Twar <laughing>

Photoning INTO Fed Space does work as I just experienced when big12ozhog proved to me in a game last night not only crippling my turns but also killing our 2 reds and gaining about 34 million creds.
My feeling about that bug is that it takes 2 people working together to do it that is in a more serious category than 1 person using a bug in a solo action. Single player using a bug cand and in severe case can be deleted and even banned from a server. 2 players acting together make it a corporate offense since the corporation gains even if the players are deleted. It is my feeling that the corporation as a whole is therefore guilty of the offense and should be dealt with accordingly. If one of the players claims innocence of the action then I would point out that is not a defence in the cases of unknowing drivers who find themselves driving getaway cars for their buddies in bank robbery cases.

Dare I ask how does one accomplish said bug? As a sysop, I need to know what to look for to see if someone has done it on my board...

This bug has been fixed in the new version of TWGS just upgrade your server to the newest version.

the last version this worked on was v3.11.55
if you are silly enough to still be running such an old version, please tell me your twgs addy so i can come play there
heh

Would everyone please drop this issue and let it pass into history?
Thanks...we all moving along and learn as we go! Oz happens to be one of the finest coders in the game at this point and there are a few more that most of us have not seen at this point as they keep doing their 'home cooking'!
