I am seeing more and more weird hacks- 6 minute base attacks, people relocating any time they want, attack speed in battle is far above what it should be. All these things I thought were server based and hacking that would be impossible- Is there something I am missing? Granted none of these I would want nor do I think they should be posted as they draw way to much attention to our good hacking community- but just wondering how they are doing it?

Also want to add that I am in a sector right now full of hackers- I think since we all do it we can see the signs of a hacker- but I am noticing more and more people getting suspended or bases disappearing. Now I don't know if the other hackers are the ones who are reporting them(though I do think that is possible and hypocritical) or if in the case of 2 of my friends who has used the BP hack and now have the anti-missile drac tech weapon and that is the cause of it or if it is a new hacker finding software that Kixeye has released- I would like Gyan1010 or slowmo's opinion on this please.

Thanx as always

I never tried increasing attack time, figured that would be dead giveaway.

Everything in the battle like attack speed is server side in my findings. The battle flow seems to be that the game constantly reads an array of bytes from presumably the server, it breaks that apart and sets local values to allow you (the user) to see what is happening. You can modify those values if you like and you see a change, like no damage for instance. But since the flow of data starts on the server and you are just watching it, as if you were watching TV, anything you do to the data doesn't effect the source. Therefore your ships still die. The only communication that does the other direction is mouse clicks so you can control your ships.

Relocate I'm not sure on but leaning toward the negative. I've tried and I can get the game to think I can relocate, but there seems to be a server check after that which denies it. I've tried in 2 ways, first making the game never set the time of last move so that when you move the game never starts the 7 day timer. I then tried bypassing the check to see if you are able to move. Both failed.

I got banned finally. I stayed around so long by never really playing much. Spent most of the time hacking it since that is more fun anyway. I was bored last week though and went around destroying everything outside my sector using illegal weight, max level battleships. I made it through about 40-50 bases and countless defending and retaliating ship attacks, before being unable to find more targets in my level range. Obviously I was banned 2 days later.

I think I'm gonna move on to hacking a different game now, I might make it back here some day with a new alt account when they have more content to hack. Although, I think FB makes you have a phone number when creating accounts now so maybe not.
