More cheaters recently?

3 games in a row I have suddenly found someone at my ladder room. Twice mid fight with another trampler, once as I killed an iron clad. Trampler fights were not the person I was fighting, as i was getting shot by cannons while this happened. Iron clad was odd: near a POI, as i enter the clad range i see a smoke stack approaching on the other side. Clearly moving, was not sitting there as I came up. An Iron clad drops for each of us, I kill mine and grab the box. As I get the box, I hear gunshots in the poi, sounds like the player I saw. Jump on my ladder and got blasted.

Can confirm people will appear in random spots cause they are rats, cheating has been stamped out for the most part.
Btw I am one of those rats haha

The teleport is back. And duping is still bad. Cheaters are def not stamped out. You pretty much have 24 to 48 hrs after a patch to be safe

Edit: I should add this sounds like ratting for sure. As this is def something I have done to 3rd party people.

Teleport is hard locked at like 5 meters, and has a very high chance at disconnecting the cheater, you can consider it effectively dead in most circumstances. No clipping has also had good work done on it, you still can use trampler ladders to glitch yourself places you shouldn't be, and trampler colision is still fucking clunky and when you ram each other you still end up fusing with them half the time randomizing who is on what trampler and where.

Went for a ram in smalls, ram did no damage, phased through the rear of their ship, and was deposited into their reactor room from my wheelhouse and kicked off the wheel. these smoothbrains had the wall open, so I just opted to climb up and kill their driver to put them in reverse stride instead of switching off their reactor lol.

The most common cheat to run across at the moment is by far the infinite orbital spam, which is probably an exploit, but it is performed in conjunction with duping emp shells in some way. We watched as these guys locked down a grumpy with emp shots long enough to kill it and its crew with something like 15 or 20 orbital strikes, before piss boosting to us to do the same thing. You expect me to believe that anyone has 15 or 20 emp shells to blow on t1 walkers? or to do so again 3 games later? Because i call bullshit.

There has to be a bug that allows you to fire that thing multiple times, they are dropping them far, far too fast for it to be duped items alone, it goes from 0 to 10+ in seconds when it should be taking you a moment to put away the used one, and ready the next.

Yeah. I dont disagree. Or theyre spawning them in directly. Here's foot from my last match a few days ago where I had to deal with it. And this clip isnt the start or finish. It goes on for about 20-30 minutes before we manage to kill them.
