*snip* thanks for the report, but we prefer it being reported through PM's. We don't allow posts that show the "howto" for an exploit on the forums. Don't worry, your post is being stored and I've send it to IronHorse as well ;)

I'm going to quote aaSpider here. IronHorse (NAPT lead) is indeed keeping a list of possible exploits PMed or mailed to him

    Did you get the 70 res during the commander selection pre-round or was it actually there and usable during gameplay? One of these doesn't matter at all.

    It was usable during gameplay. I actually evolved into an onos about 1-2 minutes in just to make sure.

    I'm pretty sure I've heard about this bug before on this forum, but I couldn't find the post anymore so I just made a new one. Maybe someone can confirm?

    I don't believe in security through obscurity, the best way to get these exploits fixed is to have the community actually know about them. But I'm sure some mod will remove this thread if they deem differently.

    pming a moderator will get it fixed. posting it on the forums will make it common until the inevitable fix is released. please delete it.

    Actually the best way is to let the devs know about it, we don't allow posts about exploits on the forums. Issues with the game (tech-support@unknownworlds.com), Or find a NS2 Playtester indicated by the orange Icon next to their Avatar and PM them (hover over it as the NS1 Playtesters have he same icon ;) ) IronHorse NAPT lead, is also actively looking for reports (ironhorse@unknownworlds.com)


    Closing this one, see OP for reason :)
