    Cheating wasn't mentioned in that post bud, something you want to share with the class?
    Actually, bud, if I was going to share anything more than the little back story to the name Vindication, it would be the screenshots of you as an astronaut 10m away in our crosshairs not dying while being shot up, but wouldn't you rather we just call it lag, which it likely was, and move on?

    Posting this clearly seemed like a good idea in your head
    Speculate all day long about what goes on in my head if you like, the main point of my post, other than some clarification, is that it all was indeed fun and we would probably keep playing if some of the frequent problems with the game/server get solved. Take it for what it's worth.

    I'd love to see these screenshots, since for starters the closest you possibly could've gotten to me was 25m (the distance from the core to the hull exterior) and the fact that the closest the vindication got was 4000km. Atom Smasher on the other hand closed to 100m. Either way, I still didn't die so it's a moot point.

    This also raises the question as to why you were ramming in the first place?

    that's a "ghosting" bug

    It was a statement and in no way an attempt at speculation what goes in your head because nobody cares, but do keep reading too much into anything we say if you feel like it. Won't earn you any zingers with messages oozing bitterness like that.

    Well if it wasn't, then my mistake. There's no bitterness, I rather enjoy that there are actually people who participate in the PVP side of the game, seems like most people would rather build nice ships and just park them, which is pointless. It was fun as hell, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. And like I said, if and when the problems get addressed, we may back on.

    I'd love to see these screenshots
    I could get you them later if you like. I'm pretty sure Captain_Boroski is probably right about it being a ghosting bug, but like you said, it's a moot point.

    It was fun fighting you guys because you put up a good fight, pity that the server is as reliable as greek economy.

    ...(titled the Vindication, after the Admins made it clear all allegations of cheating were false and all efforts to get ogp4nda perma banned completely failed)...
    Yeah, because publicly admitting in server chat about finding a new exploit isn't suspicious at all, right?

    Don't get me wrong, it's always fun fighting you guys, even though I'm mostly unable to join any real PvP action due to my timezone as most of your faction is in the USA. But fighting a faction that is likely using cheats (not saying that you definitely were) is not fun AND pointless because for every titan we beat legit cheating faction can just get another one without much effort (assuming the exploits are resource-related).

    Anyway, if you do come back... We'll have some "surprises" ready. *evil-ish laugh*

    Mariux, what exactly did that bamboo eating bastard say in chat that led you to believe he was cheating?

    We have the log (can't find it right now) but he was complaining about an exploit he found being pathed but he found a new one.

    But don't get us wrong. We don't consider ourselves space police or anything. Whatever the exploit he was using, we were/are more than capable of defending ourselves.

    Wait I thought you guys won?
    Well, their most active member left, active raids from SSR stopped, we knocked out a couple of their heavyweight ships so there was a good reason to think so. Even if they haven't surrendered, we are certainly at a much larger advantage against them than we were at first.

    Does that mean SS is kinda dead for you guys then?
