I say we get banned for this ;)

Not for cheating, but for exposing a flaw in Starport. Toonces will not allow for it!

Well we really only showed that it is possible to have more shields than is possible but not exactly how to have them. And I think me nuking your pod with 16k shields and you dying on the second maybe says that they aren't real shields? :?

I played around with this on bitz a few weeks ago. Once the duel clock runs out it becomes a display error. And landing, docking, or warping causes it to reset. Not really exploitable, because it involves suicide in order to have temporary use of a supped pod.

This isnt very exploitable. To get the pod thats temporarily supped up you have to kill yourself in a specific way. I think..

People die for rep, why not for super pods? =] It really isn't very exploitable, if it all, would have to be pretty creative.... It is fun though.

And yes, you have to die a certain way.

Yeah, me an Duece tested that Super Pods trick so many times, we found it before you guys :twisted:

We were trying to find a way to transfer the super shields to another ship, such as a Vulture, Barge, or Avenger. Any of those with 16k shields would be awesome. But anything we tried didn't work. We tried hundreds of ideas. None work, so it's a cool temporary trick.

I also know a few more :wink: But I'm not tellin' you guys, because one of 'em is exploitable.

Then it is your duty to tell Sinistrad if you haven't.

That was the whole point of our experiment. We were trying to find that exploit (I know it exists!) and inform the general Starport public about it so that the devs would correct it.

Kind of hard, because it's not really a game bug, and I found it on accident.
And I love this game too much to consider cheating :wink:

Umm, if you found it, someone else WILL find it, and I KNOW that someone will try to use it, even if you wouldn't someone else would. So, uh, tell them you idiot.

Mua'Dib and Zav and I are the Gemini Holdings you see at the #1 spot. :) We haven't had that for months, "that" being #1 corp on a perma. Last time we had it was at the prime of FW when we had Atreides' Mafia. So I figured it worthy of a screen. It was funny when Mua noticed.

Mua'Dib shouts: wtf
Mua'Dib shouts: my corp is #1
Mua'Dib shouts: how the hell...

At the same time he was also trying to convince me I am a dishonest illegitimate child. :(

-Goes to the tavern

So now he has 5-5-5, but does he not have the ability to spam 500 hydrogen missiles?

Oooooooooh, that thing is a deathtrap. It's already takeable, and as such the vets who play will go "Okay, gonna try to cap" and they'll die doing so because it's too hard for basically everybody to do, I should adapt some defending styles to that.

:shock: scary

That is pretty much untakable milo, there is no room to 'turn off' the lasers around dome so getting there with 1000 energy is nigh on impossible...

I imagine there was a lot of green death around by the time you got to dome :)

Getting cocky and chatting while dodging solar lmao:

Annoying part of the invasion with those flaks behind the wall:

The cap:

Cost me 500kish to invade, got 700kish of it from selling resources + solar, a 200k net profit :) (and no I didn't die). I hope this helps people defend/invade better (military was 0%).
