See above comment about it being an option. Conversely why should it be allowed to be abused be a minority of people who's fun derives from systematically ruining someone else's gameplay.
I was commenting on the suggestion to disable mouseover in the MA. I wasn't commenting on the suggestion to make the wingman thing optional. There was no option offered as far as mouseover goes; the suggestion was to simply turn it off, and I think that would be a mistake. Only a tiny fraction of players would try to exploit it while at the same time many players find it beneficial, even useful. A cheater would only find another way to exploit some facet of the game, then it would be let's change something else most people use but
could be exploited. There would never be an end to that.
The gist of this thread seems to be using game parameters (or rather, crippling them) in order to make it difficult for someone who cheats by using a shade account. I don't believe there are that many people doing that, and if they do, I couldn't care less. I know I don't, I never will, and if I learned somebody was I wouldn't even fly in the same sector as them. I believe part of the game is having to figure things out, like where a CV might be, things like that. If someone has to resort to cheating in order to find that out, I feel sorry for them. All they're doing is admitting they lack the talent or ability to play the game the way it's supposed to be played and they can only "win" by using some method to cheat.
