The single biggest reason I'm still holding onto my code, as much as I'd like to release it and let other people play, is not that it has the encryption details, but because it has so many of the *other* details that are much easier to work out once the encryption is removed. This makes it (for reasons I'll go into in a PM if you really want to know) far, far easier to cheat in existing stars. Neutral

I'm working on workarounds for that, but it's quite difficult in places; see http://stars-util.sourceforge.net/split_fleet_cargo.html for one of the really thorny current issues).

Hi,

I get the feeling the cat has got out of the bag more than once already. Perhaps the sanest tack would be to get as much help as possible with your own "turn-policing" tools and finish them soonest for AH to use in avoiding cheats. Rolling Eyes

Surely you know what happens to "security by obscurity", yadda, yadda... Confused

As a spinoff of the effort, I'd bet some "automation" scripts can be evolved too, to help ppl skirt heavy MM which puts them off the game. Cool

So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
