Even though I couldn't log and kept getting the Galaxy Legion is out of order message, somehow I was hacked several times and attacked and lost a bunch of research.

So you won't let me log in to use my RP but he can log in and steal them?!?!?!? That is BS! I want my research points back.

Mine too... This guy Bennie Crook was allowed in and stolen cargo from my ship.
Also disbled my ship too... This is crap. Is Bennie Crook your staff who is always attacking and stealing things from players?

There should be a ban list of players or staff. This guy get extra and move up so fast with better weapons than most of us.

This is really pissing me and really contemplating to quit... even though I played hard to level 61. This is really frustrating and time and again this maintenance is messing up.

Sorry guys. I'll be happy to comp some of those losses incurred during this downtime. DylanTeo, I assure you that your raider was not a member of our staff.

Surely your guys' grievances can't exceed what might be lost by simply taking a nap, or having a job, a life or maybe what even I myself have lost in the past through sheer stupidity. If you want to list some example for your virtual "class-action lawsuit" that basically steals time away from what would seem to be the sole developer of the game, that would be great.

actually this is a big problem. someone else's thread mentioned Bennie Crook as doing the same thing to them. Dan, can you look into this? (unless the other thread was one of you two)

it was the same person that said it in the other thread. There are no "INSIDE" players with unfair advantages.

The points wouldn't have been there for anyone to steal if I had been able to get in and use them and there were more than this. He also get the location of one of my planets

you need a hack trap

I have several and he tripped it, then came back later while the game was "under maintenance" and kept hacking me. I don't know how he could log in to steal my research points but I couldn't log in to set another trap or use them.

So let's see, the people who had an advantage were Christopher Markey and Bennie Crook. I'll add to this post as I find more.

Did you put any scanners on?

I was still able to hack some ships even if I got firewalled simply cuz I had shadowcloak or pyramid that left my cloak at little over 0 against enemies with no scanners on...

F.A.T.H.E.R. is an artifact - you will find it in your artifact cargo (trade tab) - where you can build it from there.

This is what I am not looking forward to this evening, as I cannot log in this evening...

I leave one top rank scanner + full cloaks on as much as I can just in case of this. Haven't been hacked in a couple weeks, knock on wood.

my cloaks are decent, but I dropped my nice scanner for more guns earlier and did not get back to changing it due to lack of minerals, which I probably have now...

and like I say, it is also a bummer that I will max out on energy during this downtime, when I could have been starting the Prejor storyline that everyone says is so worth it...

ah well, we will see... I might be able to get on in the morning to find that my grumbling was mostly baseless...
