Question: Third-party software?

[St.Denis]

At the end of the day the rules say it all:

Following actions are considered cheating on server:

Using non-Discovery mods, as well as using modifications that improve stats of items and ships.
Changing account information and using any kinds of software that changes normal gameplay.
Using any equipment not included for sale/looting in Discovery mod.
Using equipment that exceeds ship specs.
Cloning, e.g. creating new characters to collect starting money.
Single player having more than one instance of Discovery open to fly their own characters.
Suicide Trading.
Disabling vSync to gain a framerate of 160 or higher.
Abusing Game Exploits.

using any kinds of software that changes normal gameplay. Normal gameplay involves sitting there and typing /stuck, then that is what you should do. I am a two finger typist (I have been told that it is referred to as a pecker) yet I sometimes have to type repeated /stuck commands.

So anybody who is caught using any macros not sanctioned (pardon the pun) by the Admins, in other words they have said we can use it, are liable to be Sanctioned to the full letter of the rules. It cannot be put any plainer than it already has been unless they put the rule in very big bold letters.

It doesn't matter whether people perceive it as not really a cheat or not, the rules say it all and they should expect to get hammered when they are caught.

Sir, you are absolutely correct

[Thyrzul]

They expect that someone blocked with an asteroid inside his ship ... not using /stuck command ?

I have never done that through all my 3 years here... Wait, how did you get an asteroid inside your ship? And if you can get it inside, you can get it out just as well, can't you? It won't move after all, though if it would, the problem would be non-existent either way.

It can happen quite easily, Thyr. I've tried it many times.

There are really tiny immovable asteroids that you can get severely stuck on. Your guns or any sort of protrusion can catch these asteroids, rendering your ship completely immovable and in some cases unable to turn or even reverse, if the tiny asteroid is buried deep enough in openings/protrusions on your ship.

Try to take a Legate through Omega asteroid fields, and you'll see 'em. Or take a Ranseur to the badlands. It is a major pain in the backside.

Anyway, I got my answer. Thanks. Any kind of macro, whether or not it is harmless and have no real effect, is not permitted, and it's intention and not result that counts.

And with that it would seem the answer has been found. - Closed
