POLICE ship?

Where are the POLICE ship's? why are they not used anymore? I thought they where designed to catch or monitor cheating player's? so where are they now? SBall is on tonight, why not put a POLICE ship in there and see what happens?

 

They were never designed for that, neither are they allowed to go into maps and ban people based on just flying around and looking at them.

If an admin was put in sapceball it would turn into try to kill the admin event. Not really sure what that would achieve.

 

Free Admin kill in Logbook to SS and Gloat <3

 

i still got a admin police ship kill log saved on another account of mine lol found him afk

 

Its just out sometimes if admin wants to go to map or if its made as event admins vs players

 

What if they made the admin the spaceball? Like it was actually a person but all the admin could do is watch for cheaters.

Or they could have a permanent ultimate cloaking ability like the spearhead does that way they could watch without people knowing they are around.

 

Hi there,

I would like to add onto comments already posted in the thread.

As the owner of a police ship (although it must now be somewhat dusty), the main thing that it gets used for is to test for issues or bugs on servers. For example if a player reports to us that there are no Cubikons, or that Spaceball is still running (like a few weeks back), then we would normally jump on the Police Ship so that we can go check out the issues, with a safe assurance that we won't get destroyed in the process.

Of course the police ships are also used for entertainment purposes which is why you might see one or two during the Players vs. Mod events, or some nights we may travel around a server with no particular reason in mind other than to have a bit of fun with the players.

However with regards to cheating, we have been given very firm instructions that the cheaters must be left to be detected by the scripts, a process which is fair for everybody. Our job as admins is to assist the players in forums and within chat, the in-game element is left to support and the developers.

I think if you saw something suspicious, it would help support and the developers narrow down the mess. Come on out and play, it has to be more fun than following chat. Personally I feel they are not out as much because there are not enough mods to fly all the servers, so looking at chat, or groups of server chats is easier with monitor duty.

I hate monitor duty...

 

Personally, I've never seen a police ship in-game

As stated above it would be a FFA for the poor mod that went there. Also you can't really tell when there's a hack 100%. Luck, lag, and delayed reactions could easily cause false accusations. The hacks are out there, but it seems it needs to be very obvious for the player to be banned.
