Lag switching is not illegal. This is New Eden and most things simply are with no good or evil assigned to them by any CCP figurehead or grunt. New Eden is based on player versus player ganking. Get used to it, watch the CCP youtube video about HTFU, that will set your mind right.
Modified controllers are valid as anything that can plug into the PS3 USB port is valid as well. KB/M support requires that to be true, BTW as the PS3, and thus any game on it, is unable to determine that a USB device isn't exactly what it claims to be, modded or not.
For those that have little networking experience the answer is they work regardless of hosting the game or not. Hosting DUST is only possible for CCP as none other have the Ruby scripts to run the server code (some has been converted to C++, not all). The only real tweaking necessary is determining how long the switch needs to drop the network connection. Simply dropping ACKs in reply to a specific type of packet could solve it as well although that would be much more work than a timed button that drops the network connection for n number of milliseconds. Any reasonable adequate electronic tech could knock one out in 20 minutes and that includes rummaging around in the junk parts bin to find the pieces and a 555 timer.
Changing the speed of the network connection is not required as well. Simply have a jumper cable with an inline switch and drop anything that comes along when it looks like someone is gonna kill ya. The internet is built on hardware that was not expected to be perfect. Thus dropped packets and dropped connections in the millisecond range are almost always recoverable. Wires, switch and a little time. The version mentioned above is more elegant but is actually over designed related to the task at hand.
Now to add to our misery, there is no valid method established to determine the difference between a bad internet connection and a lag switcher obsessed piece of Kitten Excrement.

Unless it was your tank, drop ship, LLAV or whatever that got popped in one shot it will not be believed. And then only with a picture or a video capture, even something from a smart phone that shows the death screen would help. This is nothing personal, it is just the internet and a forum for a F2P game.
It doesn't help that the solution from CCP/Shanghai has an unusual amount of problems with incorrectly reporting data via the UI. I got killed by a grenade and thrown many meters into the sky. My death screen reflects that but the kill feed says somebody with a basic scrambler pistol did me in. No way to explain it, just take the grain of salt on move on. |
