It was ridiculous abuse, but please review ships with 0 space.
I will not post names here, but i know that someone *could* use it...
Other thing is xss atk *cough* shhh. PLZ fix it before someone will *do* some mess. I could really make ridiculous thinghs with many accounts, but im not "hackin dude" or whatever, im designin web 2.0 apps and im somewhat security freak:P But atm im drunk, and i want one girl but shes junkie, thats why i quit spaceo :s I need too help her, or she might die:(

There is no way to detect alts, so it would be heaven for those who want turns and dont care rules...

Im sorry but im just software developer, so i dont understand what means "ANTI-CONFORMISTS". And no, its not a joke

Ah, sorry for my long offtopic about alts, but i just dont like that people compalin about alts, while they might not know that its impossible to detect alts etc.

Back to the topic.  why game become boring (?), why?
Im not some uber-old-spaceo-player, but!

I was playing other space-web-based games. Most of them was pure pvp. No computer events/enemy/whatever.
For some time it was interesting...
But than i spotted spce oddysey.There was:
PvP boarding - oportuninty to steal other player ship! Awesome!
... (killed because of galaxy fleet bug)
Many other ways to get money. Oh, great stash! Its so profitable that everyone is keeping money, and i can steal it! w00t!!
Ah, people compalined that its too high %%...
Now noone keep money in stash...

Alright, what about other ways to get money (creds:P)?
Bioframs! Yeah, tht might be good at very beginning...
But... Hey, workrers?! Yeh, they are... Yeah almost like some income:P
If you accidentally steal 100x more workers than you can afford its really cool.
But usually they are useless asset

So PvP is acually useless. Most do missions/events.

Now, with my f**kin long post. No really i hate forums.
I really aprecciate emi's job, that he made that game. But now its like offline game

Dont get me wrong, but i play online games to try to fight with other people, no some d**n Si <-- click Si link plz.

Here is some of my thoughts about alts.

Using same ip, does not mean that 2 players are alts. It means nothing, and no one should be banned of that. Why? There are some things to consider:

Many players from single ip:

• What about school/cable etc. network? There is online game ogame (Note: alts strictly forbidden), there was even 30 people online, many of them was attacking one player, because they could just arrange attack by talking to each other. From the server side, they were seen as coming from single ip address. Now, should they all got banned? Witch players are true, and witch multi account? There is now way to know that...
• Dynamic ip address. Thi is less likely, but it is possible that dhcp will give me same address as someone else had...
• You visit friend, who also play online game. You are not sure if you reserved fleets? Lets crash some Second Life ships? (joke ). And now you used same ip as your friend.

One player with many ip's:

• What if someone will use anonymous proxy for one browser, and direct connection for other?
• What if someone has access to remote desktop on other continent?

Use cookies to detect multi accounts? Its naive...

Please note, that there is no way to detect who is alt and who is not. There is even no way to detect if player is real, or is it bot...

I had two alts, but after my 1st round i left them

Really cool update.
I would love to see one more thing in report... Total damage/fleet after battle.
Something like:
fleet ship1 received 12.345/123.450 (10%) total damage.
fleet ship2 received 0/123.450 (0%) total damage.
fleet ship2 received 123/123.450 (1%) total damage.

With that i could estimate if certain events/mission power is worth trying, or maybe not. Now i have to manually add it to see if ships had enought hp reserve. For small ships its easy, its enought to just look at it, but with trilions hp those numbers are too large for quick estimate

I was curious how many people will reply for that

lostedchylde, what do you mean by "PvP game"? People do mostly missions etc, with some ocasional attacks just to anger others.

pvp is broken, people attack each other just to show that they are better, but without real profit. Our aliance didnt sign any truces*, and guess what? No one attack us

* Ok, we have some 3, but i dont care.

 

I use images as ship names a little, but those images are small, like , or aliance icon.

Not long time ago it was possible to mess a lot with ship name, now its limited, or maybe removed. Still i can do what i show in images below. However ship name is quite long, so probably its not a threat. With private messages it might be possible to do some mess through.

Ill reported some time ago to do something with script tags, it was fixed, but there is still some possibility to include some javascript
If someone is still not protected from windows jpg bug, it is possible to run some application on his pc, but thats whole different story

There is clean and efficient way to allow only selected tags
ie:
echo strip_tags('<p style="color:red;"><b>Something</b><script></script></p>', '<p><b>');
will output
<p style="color:red;"><b>Something</b></p>

However it still allow adding javascript in other way...


I can also do something really ugly (ship above Test made that)

Ohh, Remfer you did attack me too, right? I couldnt counter through.
A reason for war

Guys, dont panic, war is not that bad

ahaha. You forgot aliance image

Yours sig is 500px height, while posts are usually 120px
It takes half of my screen height
Its annoying to scroll thru all the same huge images all the time.

Note, its nothing personal, you just post a lot and have huge sig.
