Post some finer points

man oh man

the arguments are old -- its cheating ... its not cheating ... yes it is .. nuh uh its called glitching

ok listen lol

there is a fine line between cheats and glitches

Cheat = Making game do something its not supposed to or meant to do - that gives you an advantage over the other players (by means of file edits or glitch abuse)

Glitches = Making the Game do something its not meant to do or supposed to do that has no effect on others gameplay


so using so called glitches in Ship vs Ship is indeed Cheating!

but walking through a wall to get behind the bar is not cheating it doesnt effect peoples game play or give you some weird game advantage over the rest its just a glitch



---- Now Hacking is a Different Story
Hacking is NOT Packet Editing
Hacking can be done several ways some legal and some illegal it depends on the license of the game, its engine, files, etc..

but packet editing is not illegal by any means -- the law does not control what you allow your computer to send or receive

which means if i dont want my PC to send information from my pc to somewhere else I am well within my rights to edit that info out or block it

Packet editing is a Grey area

Now to be clear on something this game uses the Panda3d Game Engine developed by Disney - However Disney licensed the engine under a Modified BSD License

which also grants users rights to modify files and such to a certain extent - im not explaining it all fully here because its too much to type


Sorry to get off on a tangent but - i just get tired of people saying oh thats a hack or ohh its a glitch -- or ohh its nothing wrong its how the game works etc..

Now I dont Condone using unfair glitches or hacking - Unless ur pitting Glitch/Hack vs Someone else who is Glitching or Hacking (This applies to all games not just disney lol)

but in ship vs ship -- I am soooo sick and tired of seeing people auto-repairing or doing some other weird glitch - and they build a massive bounty up by cheating

well u better believe it - I will glitch and nail em to a wall
but I do have morals - I will make sure they are indeed cheating first before I drill em

u can flame me all u want for using glitches on the glitchers but I have had people actually thank me for helping them kill the one using glitches - then I either a. leave ship vs ship or b. turn the glitch off - get my crew and start winning

depends on if i wanna keep playing after having this cheater sink me tons of times
usually by the time I see they are for sure cheating im soo angry at em ill sink em and leave ship vs ship lol

either way thats my opinion and how I play the game - call me what u want but do onto others as they do onto you


Disney needs to FIX these major bugs once they do that - people will start to enjoy ship vs ship

later
