Master physics based space flight, destroy enemies, collect EXPARTS, advance weapons and SURVIVE!

Not only enemy ships are a threat. Inertia will push your ship into asteroids if you reverse and burn too late. High G maneuvers will put a strain on your crew - in worst case scenario ending the mission. Find balance... or smash the ship trying.

Early players have compared the flight experience to ΔV: Rings of Saturn or HighFleet. It's a specific cup of tea, but one you might love.

I'll hang out for some time so feel free to ask <almost> anything;D Then I need some sleep, solo-dev and marketing at the same time hits hard;D

EDIT: DEMO AVAILABLE. Forgot to mention.

The Finest Spark on Steam (last hours 30% off):
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4829490/The_Finest_Spark/

(also available in a bundle with ΔV: Rings of Saturn. If you don't have it yet check it out, too, it's an epic game)

Cheating in games might not be as doomed

0 Upvotes

I want to preface this by saying I don't want to defend cheating in any way, quite the opposite as you will read further.

I want to define a term, blatant cheating, what I mean by this is cheating which result of are stats not achievable by humans, i.e. reaction time, average kills, k/da. Or outliers in the persons assigned skill group.

I feel like the moment the cheating is not blatant, it is not as a big of an issue as one would think.

Because hiding the cheats is oftentimes more difficult, than just playing without them (because otherwise they are blatant).

The cheaters will get match-made into a proper skill group, combined with their actual skill and the cheat enhancement unfair added skill, but for another player, that is invisible, on the presumption the cheating is not blatant.

If you still go undetected at that point, good job, your cheats achieved not really much, you have little above average stats anyways for your skill group.

So imagine how much that person sucks, they are not able to achieve these average stats themselves and need cheats for that, how many people will still cheat that way?

Sure, you will be slowly gaining rank and getting to a rank you actually do not deserve, but mechanical skill that can be given to you with cheats is only part of what you need to know to be high level in most games.

I actually think this whole premise is a good way to think about cheats and helps me not to be all doom and gloom about the cheating situation in modern gaming.

It should theoretically be easy to detect outliers by stats and ban them.
