I was doing trade runs in a convoy with some freinds, and everything was going fine, unitl I dock on Cambridge and buy VIPs once more (I'd made the run about four times before) when all of a sudden I'm kicked as I try to undock. I've been kicked about six times, and someones told be the server message is, 'being kicked for possible cheating.' All my equiptment is legal, so I don't know why it's doing it. The only thing I can think of is that I was lagging slightly when I brought cargo each time... Has this happened to anyone else?
The "lagging slightly" part makes me think that you quickly moved the toggle on the purchase bar all the way to the right and ended up buying one too many VIPs more than can fit in your cargo hold. When you launched with too much cargo, you got kicked for "possible cheating." Next time, double check your cargo space and sell something if your remaining cargo space is negative.:nono::rtfm:
I just got booted (once) with, apparently the same message, while taking off from Denver with Prisoners. I was hauling perishable goods (Luxury food) to Denver, sold it, bought full load of prisoners.
Could perishable goods be the culprit perhaps?
Say you dock with say 4691 perishable with just a nudge left on the 4691st item, and just as you dock it expires, but yet remains in the cargo hold due to lag spike or what not. And you end up selling an item you're not supposed to own ? Just speculating.
The reason I suspect this is, when I reconnected I wasn't docked on Denver, I was hovering outside with my previous cargo left intact (the Luxury food).

If you got kicked for "possible cheating," then you should have been on the last place you docked (Planet Denver) when you returned, not in orbit (with your previous cargo). Are you sure that the server didn't crash? If the server crashed, it might have lost the data that you had landed, sold your luxury food and bought prisoners.

I was teamed up with my brother who told me that I was kicked for 'possible cheating detected'. The server did not crash. However I thought it had crashed because I was booted with a 'connection lost' type of message, the one you get when the server dives on you. When I reconnected I was in orbit outside Denver. I could then proceed with docking, selling the cargo, buying new cargo and take off without problems.
