Alt accounts to defeat pcu limits are a problem

The pcu limits in keen official servers, set at 10k PCU per player, are being circumvented by alt accounts and PCU extorting of other players in the Keen NA4 server. This is discouraging players, and driving them away.

The 5 drill per player are obviously overcome, due to the raider faction having no less than 28 drills on a single ship at one time (all by same builder- after grid "gifting" between accounts). single players have far more than the initial PCU limits as well as block tool limits now and build ships mightier than anything else any non exploiting player can match.

Raider players there repeatedly raid new players, extorting them to "trade" half of their pcu to the raiders in return for promise of no more raids. This is bullying in the worst extent- and the raider are showing up in a battleship far more than 10k pcu that any new player can hope to compete with.

Its a flaw that has been exploited with the PCU limiting system- trading pcu between players, and those players being alt accounts compounds the problem. It certainly doesnt help that the players exploiting this for more than their fair share of server performance are the not so nice guys, either.

When players encounter such super ship exploits... they get annihilated and just logoff and quit. In the time I've been in the server, Ive seen 6 people ragequit as "pointless to try" and never to return.


This feedback is in the hopes that the abuses of this faction for what amounts to "stolen valor/purchased might" did all the work for you in revealing the problem, so that it may be addressed in a future update. As the server stands now, its past the point of redemption- anyone joining is doomed to be bullied now.
