Hey guys, here is a funny exploit we discovered roaming around Bro of Tengra space.

Basically, it consist of placing the ESS at 0 of the sun, causing the ship to bump at like 200000000+ m/s (no ****). It's possible to try to sneak around, but it's not reliable and you can't orbit cause you get bumped anyway.

Here are some screenshot

That's pretty funny, not gonna lie.

Can you still access it?
Can you still blow it up?

Debatable. I doubt that's working as intended but I don't see any way to fix that unless they make some minimum distance for it to be anchored from celestials.

I was able to access it upon landing the 3rd time, but after i moved i got bumped again. Didn't try to blow it up but the trick would be to land, and if not bumped stand still + shoot. Anyway, you cant really predict when you get bump, the fact is, even if you warp at 10 of the ESS (the sun appear still at 0 since it's a big celestial) you need to be so close of the ESS to access it (2500 meters) I bet you will get bump at each attempt.

Then it's a problem and you should probably bug-report it and/or send in an exploit notification petition.

I did it and provided relevant screenshots, but i thought it was funny enough to share it.

This sounds unintended to me. I'm not much of a role player but i don't think it makes much sense to be able to place an ESS in the middle of a star.

I guess as long as you can still use it or blow it up it's not a bug.

I was planning on going on the test server and making abump point in the test system, but it would take to long so i haven't got around to it. But I was going to try lighting a cyno at the bump region of a star at max speed and costing into the bump zone to see if it would work. Which if it did might be an exploit. I know costing into a pos bubble while lighting a cyno is an exploit.

IB4L for thread and deletion of my post =), for discussing exploits.

Looks like emergent gameplay that will get patched sometime in the near future.

I bet you can warp at 100 and slowly aproach it without being bumped...

It's an old old trick pretty much all they did was warp at star then aproach manually until phase in, place the ESS and keep a BM to the nearest safe point (probably would help know the direction they choose to warp)


Again nothing new on the OLD book of tricks, aside a game mechanic most of ppl forgot it was there all the way.

I fail to see how this is an exploit.


You keep using that word.... I do not think it means what you think it means.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

It effectively renders a module with system-wide effects impossible to interact with. This is bad for… oh… pretty much every use of the module and completely invalidates the whole point of having it in-game.

It is possible to interact with the module but it requires to know the bump mechanic related instead just blindy warp at 0 and claim it's an exploit.
