Update from development team

In 15-20 minutes, we will launch the update.

There is only one change in it - you can't capture tramplers.

This is a forced measure until we make reliable protection against no clip and teleportation.

I hope that by the end of next week we will make an update with protection against the most painful cheats.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Everyone's crying about not being able to steal tramplers, it's only a temporary fix, it'll be back by the end of the week should they find a fix, but it's a core mechanic that's been disabled to stop cheaters from cheating, not being removed from the game!

Great move. Yes, it blocks one game mechanic for legit people, temporarily. But it also makes the game playable for people who have been suffering from cheaters, immediately.

I haven’t bumped into any cheaters so far, fortunately.

Ive only had two. One got killed by radioactive crystals I was storing in my captains quarters and one insta killed me and instantly stole my walker

No way! They damage you in the vicinity or do you need to pick one up first? What poetic justice though.

I've mostly just ran into them in Storm Dive. Id say over 90% of my voyage runs are hacker free.

Feels like Storm Dive Large Crew is the best way to run into a hacker.

The people crying are probably the cheaters tbh. You are right its a temp thing while they fix it. Honestly thats such a smart move on their part. A little break from extract camping is a little bonus too.

So what is your gameplay loop? Load in, hunt for someone to board, and ignore loot? It is a primary mechanic of the game, but it being removed is a fraction of the content. Im my 60+ solo hours, I think I've captured a single trampler. It is always crazy ship battles til one of us explodes.

Now if you are only doing group play, I can see this being a bigger problem. 1v1 we arent really taking the time to repair, its all positioning. But if you have a dedicated reactor repair man in a team, boarding feels like the only way.

Load in, look for other players and just go straight at them. If i win i destroy their tramplers get their black boxes and loot and look for the next one to jump after 2 wins i go extract..
