Hyperspace Beacon Bug (CXP Exploit)


Blizzax

Recommended Posts

Since you removed the first bug report - containing a video link to actual evidence of how this bug has been exploited - I'll add another one without the linked video.

 

The bug:

In Galactic Starfighter it is possible to place a hyperspace beacon within a satellite.

This can be achieved by positioning the bomber very close - almost touching - to the satellite.

Then turning around the bomber and deploying the beacon results in the beacon appearing within the satellite.

 

This problem is most likely caused by deployable items getting placed behind a bomber's current position.

Since satellite walls are only 2-dimensional structures, the initial drop distance already lies within the satellite.

 

The exploit:

Currently players use this bug to position their team's ships within the satellites.

Those ships cannot be attacked. They count as holding the satellite and can attack other ships.

This way it is easy to win a GSF match without much effort. In fact all others than the bomber deploying beacons don't have to do anything but spawn, press "X" and go afk.

And in the end all get rewarded for the win plus additional CXP for medals (objective points for satellite holding).

 

Please fix this bug before this exploit starts to appeal to a greater number of players.

Please take action against the exploiters (you should have received a lot of material through tickets, PMs, etc. from several players).
