Thread: Question about experimentation glitch.

As most of you know, there is a random glitch with experimentation where every once in a blue moon it will give you a couple of extra experimentation slots above what you would normally get. I've had this happen maybe two or three times in the past, but always with useless things.


Now, I've actually had it happen with a weapon and was able to get improved results in speed and damage - the down side is that at the time I was using a limited resource (an old one at that)and only had enough to produce 12 pistols.


My question is: would this be considered an exploit? It's not a repeatable bug (or one that can be repeated on command), and it wasn't done on the day experimentation was changed (was actually the Thursday or Friday before that). I love this game, and I take care to play fair, so I am asking you guys your opinions - or if our Correspondant knows if this would be an exploit or not? Thanks for you time.

I would say, it could be an exploit, but it isn't really going to flood the market with UB3R L337 pistols so...


I would report it as a bug and go on about your business. If it is really that bad, they can always take away your schematic and any guns made with it, and give your resources back or whatever.


Don't worry about it and go sell them hehe

There's been a few threads about this over the past couple months - general consensus was that it's fine to sell them because they're not THAT much better than normal, and the schematic will run out. As far as I know, no one's been banned or warned over this. I had some laser rifles with this, sold them all, nothing happened.



POKEY THE PENGUIN SIG REMOVED BY GARVA BECAUSE "Just because you are crafty enough to get around the technicality of it being a .jpg or .gif does not mean it is not an image, it is not ascii art, it is an image" SO HERE IS MY NEW SIG.
HUGE UGLY SIG

Thanks for the feedback guys - never hurts to somewhat paranoid I guess.
