Greetings Ironclad, Stardock and SOSE gaming community
I would like to ask this question Ironclad developers or an official representative and of course I very much welcome any replies from the gaming community.
I tried to search the forums by using keyword "exploit" but could not find anything on the subject.
Today I've joined a game hosted by I believe Starboy or Baphonaut built few scouts and sent them to their home planets. After arrival I've set a group of recursive way points so the scout will constantly move around the planet.
In return I've received: "Man, this is lame", "stop doing it" and so fourth. I thought ok someone being annoyed which is good, means hopefully I'm doing something right. In the next few hours I've joined yet another game hosted by these Gentlemen yet instead of the expected annoyance I've received words such as "borderline exploit", "do not ever join our game" and so fourth. Now that gotten a tid bit too serious for a simple annoyance so I've decided to make an official post and ask someone in the position of authority:
Is setting a group of recursive way points around the planet is in fact an exploit or is it just a certain group of players being annoyed and blowing some steam by banning me from their games?
I never exploited in haegemonia legions of iron during my play since 2002 and never exploited in homeworld2 during my play since 2003 or so.
Now in Homeworld2 I use recursive way points for the scouts all of the time. Now, I've realized this is not homeworld2 hence my decision to ask this question because I definitely do not want to participate/use in anything that being designated as an exploit.
I've just gotten SOSE about a week or so ago and played only few games here and there, never even heard of what actually considered an exploit in SOSE, still learning the ropes yet already being labeled as an exploiter and banned from the set of games hosted by earlier mentioned individuals.
With best regards.
