' Wrote:Yes but whats to stop you setting up a macro to trade for you and then go away and sleep for a while while it makes you money? At least if you tried that on the server other players would blow you up a lot.
And as for the fact that if someone were to write an application like that at all, t would need access to the servers database which s a very bad idea as it opens quite a big security hole to be exploited by someone clever.
I could prob write something to do that quite easily depending on what type of database it is (SQL?) it would just involve pulling certain values and editing the single player save files. Easy to do from a coding point of view but from a security point its VERY hard to then make that connection secure enough for the admins to even consider it.
Yes but since an open sp mod is implemented in Discovery itself, only tweaking it for support of Multiplayer character import is not that tough,
However i did not know about 'macros' you talk about, as far as i can tell from your statement it is some sort of algorytm that takes your ship back and fourt with goods selling and buying.
Like in sp you don't get pirate attacks. But never mind that, simple AFK detection algorytm can solve that.
And no need for your computer to modify character values on the server, server should simply read log file (written by the game, if tampered with will be considered not valid and rejected) and apply the changes.
I cannot see unovercomeable problem here, that is why i am posting this (i may not know much of programming but i do know how cerain systems work)
