    So I was playing in map 5-2 when I had to collect some red/black boxes and was enclosed in a circle. When I went to click on one my ship glitched through the circle and I had to relog in. When I logged back in I could not make out what was said but I managed to collect the black box, I think it said something about a "warning given". So far I can still play just fine, but I am not sure what to make of it, and what should I do if it happens again?
     
  2. That's BP's bot detection system at it's finest lmao!!!
     
  3. this is a system to prevent people to play long sesions like 6h and above...
     
  4. How does it prevent them when all they have to do is collect the right boxes?

    Well it doesn't work. I logged in after 2 days off, went to 4-4 during SB, got into a fight and got a capture. I'd been logged in less than 10 minutes. 20 minutes later was fighting a guy in 2bl, got a capture. About an hour later I was doing dailies and got 2 more captures.

    It seems "playing the game" is "suspicous behaviour" and warrants a Capture.

  6. Seems it's looking for legitimate players' to annoy them, can't be there for detecting bots, too many in each map.

    The bots auto click the right box for the captures - Only slows then down roughly 8 or 9 seconds from the videos I've seen.
    Where a legit player, maybe one who's eyesight is waning due to age (like mine) has to peer at the tiny wording the capture uses to tell you which boxes to click. No biggy if you get it right first time, more often than not I'm left to guess which boxes it wants me to click so just pick one and wait.

    Sometimes I'll just click the wrong box - cause the game is boring - to see what will happen - Nothing does, it just keeps saying you've been warned and repeats the same thing over and over - 47 minutes was my best time to clear a "capture" that said I was acting suspicious
    because I had jumped from 3bl (after killing 3 ships from a train) to 3-8 and moved to the base to repair and fit a new cloak.

    I have no idea about why captures exist, what their intended purpose was or why they are far more of a nuisance to legit players than those playing on auto BUT I hope they tweak whatever algorithym they use so I stop getting them during the rare decent fights I find (and usually lose due to CAPTURE)

    It really wouldn't take much effort at all. All it really takes is for the company to care (just a little) about the future of their game.

    Flying up to look at quests is also "Suspicious" - I've been "Acting Suspiciously" by moving to check quests many times in X-8.

    The ones that get me the most though are those I get as I'm logging in. I'm at a loss about what exactly is "Suspicious Behavour" by clicking "Start".

    I wonder if clicking in the mini map where I want my ship to go is "Suspicious Behavour".
    I guess it must be, I've got a few captures doing this also.
