Do you mean one screen open per account, or one screen for one specific enemy ship, unlimited other tabs?

Yes, do you mean no multi tabbing on 1 comp? And how wil this effect Utube music lissing and NPC killing?

Im sorry. Thanks again Dan for dealing with this quickly and decisively.

I will be very disappointed if Dan disallow multitab - you can't manual repair without losing your window on an enemy or planet.

Let's build a list of 'problems' that may arise if Dan disallow multitab :
1. You can't manual repair while fighting a PVP without bumping the target off the BT (not a big deal, but using a repair nano is slowing your pvp pace)
2. You can't keep tab on enemies halc'ed (well, we SHOULDN'T be able to kill halc'ed enemies, so Dan shouldn't worry about this)

Hes given us an answer I say we wait and see what Dan delivers before we start thinking of negatives.

A few ways to do this but please dont use one of those methods that end your session or log you out when you tab away that will kill this game as many of us have the game open while working or doing other stuff, which allows us to play more often. Some games out there end your session and that will really suck to the point it wont be worth playing.

Cheers

Agreed. Don't let the session expire.

Not sure how a multitab ban would even work, what with 1000 browsers and versions of each. Good luck getting that to work with no bugs. My bank is having enough trouble just with IE, and I bet they have a decent number of people working on it. With a nice, fat budget due to security issues.

And whats to stop a power Linux junkie from coding their own simple web browser(s)?

The only ways I can see (with my admittedly limited experience here) to address multitabs on a single PC would simply turn cheating into a trick that a only few people can do. At first. But at a cost of an increased demand for a 'fix' from legitimate users. You can see it in this thread already. And increasing the demand will likely end up increasing the: odds of success, the speed in which it happens, and the collective ability level of those who are trying to work against you.

I'm not an expert programmer, so I could be wrong. But what if someone does find a way around it? OR more than one person? Then, one of them posts a video, or lets their legion members dl the new 'hack'. I would (probably uselessly) advise this: Stick to single devices, and try to maintain as much simplicity as possible in any fixes.

Again, I could be totally backwards, I am NOT an expert.

I am Glad that Dan is at least addressing the problem because there are many other uses of the multi device glitch that many are not even considering that are not as apparent. Such as leveling ally 2x every 20 hours, doubling your resource collection and doubling up on daily reward collections, not just double disables. Thank you Dan

Building programs, browsers, scripts, etc that work around the navigational structure of the game is expressly forbidden by the Terms of Use and will result in a ban for the offending player(s).

I dont think this is a huge problem anymore. The fact that a high profile user of this was called out and ended up banned is, I belive, enough to reduce this to a non issue. Reason? because those who use it risk, just like any tos breakers, losing their entire progress in the game. The fact this was called out shows that it can be detected and dealt with

in my opinion It is not worth limiting honest players to 1 tab only, making the game very hard to play effectivly, to crack down nor is it worth spending a while programming it in when the time could be used to create content

I do partly agree with this, the fact there is now a way to provide Dan evidence.

However! Something still needs to be done to stop people who do it without getting caught and this update will level the playing field once and for all, it will all come down to strategy and your production stats.

I am looking forward to this update.

So we will no longer be able to have a planet on one tab, and the trade window
on another so you can build structures quicker & easier?
How about when you run out of Time Manipulators, and you leave disabled ships on a tab
to move onto another to disable more while you wait for the timer to run out?

Who got banned now?

That's the point, you aren't supposed to do that.

Quick, ban him!

The opening a 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th tag has been done since the game was created, and has never been an issue/hack/bug/ban-able offense.

It doesn't state using multiple devices as an offense either, and yet:



There is this little rule:

Use or exploit errors in design, features which have not been documented, and/or "program bugs" to gain materials or access that would otherwise not be possible or available

If we are accepting that being able to use multiple tabs is an error in design, like using multiple devices, then if someone can be banned for using multiple devices they must also be banned for using multiple tabs. Sorry, guess I won't be seeing you again.

I see you and your crew is still here after multiple base badging, so, we'll see.

1) I wasn't there at that time, I've only been in EotS for 8 months.

2) There was no reasonable way to avoid that bug; it wasn't willful like opening a new tab or using a second device.

This is brilliant!!!! Thanks Dan
