I wanted to inform you that I apologize for the server restart "error" I have made if you've seen the server is restarting in 30 seconds message.
I wanted to apologize because I heard on our ts server that there were a total of 7 pixel based box botters on our server! So as me and MrEnsohen were flying around 1-1 we noticed a player that was botting. The player's name is not being released due to privacy concerns that I strongly believe in, but to make a long story short here is the part where it gets serious.
At first I wanted to destroy his ship and then ban, but I realized I couldn't attack. So the next step was is that I, wanted to initiate a server restart too make his ship "temporary drop connection" while I quickly banned his account and you guys all reconnected safe and sound. However, as the server restart time ticked down and 2 minutes passed, I realized I've made a minor mistake, but please read the following below.
Botting is not and will NEVER be allowed on our server! We keep in clean, friendly, and playable. We don't tolerate botting on our private server as some pixel based bot ships were doing earlier today.
I have banned the user for doing this in 1-1 and point blank he lost over 4.9mill uri today because of this. His ep, honor, credits, and uri were all set to 0 as well due to the amount of bonus boxes he was collecting in 1-1 when they were out at the time along with maps 1-2 and 4-1.
However, now that I've said this, I hope this resolves some issues that you've had with botters. Don't think I am not roaming the maps because chances are I always am. I apologize for the server restart earlier because I thought it would restart the emulator but... apparently it did not do so today. Please forgive me for this error that I have made and it shall not happen again! We don't want players to have unfair advantages towards these bot accounts.

No problem as long as we get rid of the botters its not fair for people to have an advantage, i think we should always have a couple mods roaming around to make sure maps are free of botters... maybe there is for you guys to have a page up to see how fast a player is getting uri and what he's doing or something? like a live logbook of the players..
They already have a log for that. It shows everything you collect, destroy, bid, etc, etc. Botting will never be possible here because of that. Yes it is "possible" but I think anybody botting would get caught in a few days.
Dude you must be the most lazy person ever. The rates are already 5x, Bids are low, and the Boxes are good (100-300 Uri 25% chance each box) and you still need a bot? Come on.
So you would prefer to provide a unfair advantage over the players? I strongly suggest for you to consider otherwise.
As stated, botting isn't allowed on this server. We don't want unfair players on our server as we've stated in our soon to be released reformatted F.A.Q!
Yeah I wanna bot on your server I have my own bot that I made with Vb,Net so you can't spotted me anyways
No, and we could always IP ban your computer you know?
Also, I am not the owner, Bau is. I am just the general staff ADMIN on the project.
Don't try to do something you would regret doing. :\ And I can't spot you anyway? Oh please, I know the methods of how bots work, fly around, and are configured to run on the maps.
If you do so, don't try to complain that your banned saying something that I didn't warn you in advance.
I wouldn't advise botting on this server because we have a very intelligent staff team. We could even make it to where your own computer cannot and will and shall not ever log or even be able to log into ever again.

Yes they won't notice one ship making 500K Uri a day or anything....right. Also pretty sure you're lying considering the past few days you have been posting in all the Pixel Bot's threads asking if they will work on the Private Server/Work.

Welcome to Dark Planets first open Beta test.
Before anything else please read this thread/post through.
Please do not assume everything is working right away.
This is a massive project and we have been working around the clock the last week to even get to this stage in the progress.
This beta test is for testing our current server capacity.
ever again.
