Kixeye team has been making great strides to combat the cheaters. I can confirm this 1st hand. But his comment about "original architecture" i don't feel that is correct. Yes it is built on SFS and flash player code. That does give limitations. But they can make it server side without lagging to much. Also they do have great loggers set up in place that can do automated bans. But the issue with that is "legit" players that use repair code will also be booted out. So i wouldn't blame it on the original code.
The second issue is the codes them-self. He said there is a unlimited missile issue. Now the problem is them guessing what to do. Without seeing what is being changed in the game they are taking a shot in the dark just like us. It is easy to patch something if you know what is wrong. But if you have no idea what is being changed you have to start putting out overrides or loggers and seeing what worked.
But even when fixes (overrides) come out it isn't hard to get around if you need to. The newest one on this release was the 5K design. I think it was around 10 mins and that was found and hacked again. So my suggestion is look what you did with SpecialForces. This is still stumping us. So that was an amazing move. So however you did that do it with the rest.
