To make things clear..BOT users will find very less uridium in boxes..Quote:
Hello pilots,
We did a poll a little while ago where we explored the main concern of your game and your answer was very clear: Bot users!
Although we identify a number of bot users every day, and we'll add bots users to the list the punishment, we began to think of other options to fight against the bot users without the honest players should be a problem.
We have developed a system that provides maximum benefit bots in reducing the rewards over time.
What does this system do?
Normal for the possibility of finding Uridium is raised, so that the honest players will be able to benefit from it in the normal game time. While the players who think that they can collect it, but 24 hours will be penalized so that the chance of finding Uridium decreases with time. This makes it illegal programs useless because they are no longer able to collect large amounts of uridium.
The system is equipped with a cooling, so if you can capture the boxes, for example 24 hours, it will take a long time before the premiums returned to normal.
The system is currently in testing and it has produced very good results and we will continue to monitor this system and develop from. We want to support all the honest players and discourage bot users as much as possible, and this system is now providing good results.
This is just one of the many steps we have taken the fight against the illegal software in DarkOrbit.
We hope that you see this as a step forward towards our battle against bot users!
Feedback on this system can provide feedback in the chain.
It might be end of darkorbit itself.. or maybe bot makers will find a way to avoid it ;)
