I know this is an old old subject, and I also know DO's take on how possible it is to "cheat" on this game.
But whena fully prommed elite venge is kept pace with and destroyed in one map by not one but three golis, you have to question the "it must be lag" reasoning, before anyone asks yes I was prommed up and all my engines were elite, and I was on my running config.
I am not asking the coders to admit it happens, just to introduce some way of stopping or detecting it, and then deleting the cheating swines accounts.
Without having used these mods and not wanting to post it here I can describe the method of doing it as I have heard in GSC and seen posted on other outside forums. If you wish me to do so.
Also my last speed test was 11.4mb

HI Gary7013,
Will something ever be an issue if it was detected before it happened? I would say no, any descriptions per email, we tested this extensively without being able to recreate it, here is the email :
I was in 3-1 heading back to base. Running Goliath with all engines and boosted with Prom. Another VRU passed me and stopped, I continued and went off screen. Then was caught and passed by the same player again and he beat me to base. I was running with a cloak on.
Sent players name and what happened to the support email address.
Look, I have an elite Vengeance, I am always fully prom'ed, and I have full elite speed on both configs.
I have never been killed by a Goli with this config, if I use the mini map to move from point A to Point B, but if I hold the mouse on the main area and hold it down, they catch me. Usually I have enough time to switch the mouse from the main viewing area, to the mini map and click a point on the corner.
So if you are running and your mouse is in the viewing area instead of having clicked on a spot far away on the mini map, then you will get caught by any goli who is only ten points slower than you when fully elite.
I hope this information will help you, in your great escapes.
I dont think it is a cheat, Ive expereienced the same.. have actually overtook the same ship 2 or three times in combat, whilst other times i am right in front and facing an enemy but am being told "out of range".
FYI i am say on a corporate network (DS3 - 45 MB to ATM backbone running 155MBs. My LAN is Gig Ethernet so when it comes to internet speed, im as fast if not faster than most servers.)
The problem appears to be the synchronization between the flash app running on the local machine and the Server. When the local Ap and the server re-synchronize, the co-ordinates of the ship on the map are updated.
Other times, I have lagged behind other ships so much when im running other bandwidth hungry apps / ftp's

Hi Spicysausage,
Personally I don´t think it is but if they feel the need to point fingers it should be done per email. Specially if somebody destroyed you, easy for me to see the opponents ID on the system.
Speed "cheat"
