Oh Noes~ What ever shall we do~ -runs in a panicked circle-Well I have news for you (nothing offensive intended towards this).
We have been hacked by a user named "Roadrunner", and everything was destroyed on our server. The Rebel Alliance was not shocked at the destruction but shocked at the attempt to destroy the faction. The attempt horribly failed, and we fully recovered in under 5 minutes. And if this act is caused again, it will be reported not to StarMade, but to the U.S. Government for illegal hacking which is a federal law.
You don't need to tell them, the NSA already knows.Well I have news for you (nothing offensive intended towards this).

hack into (vp.): to break into (a server, website, etc.) from a remote location to steal or damage dataOh Noes~ What ever shall we do~ -runs in a panicked circle-
But back to being serious; A) Its a server you are the Owner of, you were never in danger of losing anything, and anyone who thinks that would damage anything is quite dumb. B) I Do believe that "Hacking" into your server may not be a real Hack :/ If he had managed to obtain the log in credentials, and then whitelisted himself, That is NOT hacking.
Mind ya, if he broke into the Server host and directly deleted the entity files without logging in, then maybe you'd have something. But as it stands, it sounds to me someone got ahold of your credentials and gave himself admin - 3-
How do you know that the hacker's in the US, anyway? I doubt that the US government would extradite someone for hacking a server for some obscure game.Well I have news for you (nothing offensive intended towards this).

Technically speaking, it is breaking a federal law and a court trial would take place.How do you know that the hacker's in the US, anyway? I doubt that the US government would extradite someone for hacking a server for some obscure game.
Trust me, he'd still get a lawyer. Whether he wins or not wouldn't matter to them, because they'd still get payed for as long as they can keep the argument running.I still stand by that this is not a honest to the Term "Hacking"
As NO Data was actually Stolen or Damaged, and the fact that you have a name makes me think that Someone went ingame and just went /destroy_entity on everything, Which is Actually part of the game. Not Hacking.
Now, if said Person Broke into the Server host/whatever and added his name to the register for admin commands (whatever you call it) or Broke into the Starmade account registry and stole an Admin's Credentials; Then Yes. It was a Hack.
If Said person got into your computer and used one of those Keyboard tracing programs to steal your credentials, you might be able to call it Hacking, but I think that's more "invasion of Privacy?" (Someone with intelligence correct me here).
And Finally, You didn't -Lose- Anything. There was no material lost and everything was backed up. Whats more, there was no IRL Material loss, so I don't see how any lawyer would even side with you if you tried to take it to court (Stemming from my opinion of Lawyers).
I'm Sorry Obi, but you can't just say things and expect people to fear and/or respect you. And what little info you gave in said statement doesn't make me believe anything beyond the idea of A) An Admin was far too lax with his Powers, or B) You may have a Spy whom has Admins giving Powers.
