Ok here is the situation. I spotted a large tarder full of cargo. No problem. He was sitting outside the best place to sell his cargo. No problem. Then he transfered all his cargo to another ship, and that ship docked to sell cargo. Currious. Then the trader crashed into sun,and was back at purchase location. Problem!!!
Now i ask you. Is this cheating? Casue the admins do allow tranfers from ship to **** in off hours,but this is beyond power trading i would say. Transfer to other ship,and self destruct to go back 8 systems,and repeat for double profit,in half the time? very cheesy.

That sounds like an exploit to me. They do allow trading of items, but that's just to transfer some Armour and what not. They certainly don't let you power-trade like that.

Its not double profit.. Its foolishness.. 2 of them will get the profit.. Unless both the ships were his..

It's called suicide trading, and clearly against the rules. I think there's even an admin notice about it.

I'm sure if you supply a name and a FRAPS video of some sort, something can be done.

It is most defenently against the rules..

if you look in the rules section, there is a thread pinned about this.

Yes, the Admins picked up on it a while ago and it is against the rules. I can't find the thread where it was posted though, it was quite a while ago.
