Docking Module exploit from 2012.08.09, aka the "Skyhook" glitch [VIDEO]

[sindroms]

This was a private video showcasing the docking module exploit back in 2012. It pretty much acted like the .pull admin command, allowing you to undock ships which were in any part of Sirius, in space.

This video not only shows how the glitch was reenacted, but also shows how it could be used in fights.

At the time of recording, the video and the glitch was reported to the admin and dev team and was never opened for public viewing until now.

The exploit described in the video is now fixed, so I have no problems posting it on the forum.

As this exploit is no longer performable in Discovery Freelancer, there is as far as I (anticheat maintainer) can tell no harm in this year-and-a-half-old video being posted.

Retired, permanently.

Oh, and no, I haven't used it apart from the example in that video.
