... and yes the API ratting out the siphons is currently a 'feature' of the game Evil hence the feature discussion post and not any other thread to bury it...
We, siphon defenders, will not let the subject drop.

Don't let people that you are stealing from have your API then?

That's the API of the corp with the POS on the moon, not the one using the siphon...

Back when I used to drop syphons on pizza towers, I never noticed any tower operators noticing my syphons. I made daily trips into Geminate to collect from my syphons up until the order came down that I couldn't go into Geminate anymore.

The people that pay attention to those APIs are few and far between. If you quickly and repeatedly lose syphons on a particular tower, either stop putting syphons on that tower, or set a trap to kill the guy killing your syphons.

I'm sorry, but I am not seeing an issue here.
This does not detect the siphon in and of itself so much as it detects how much material has been harvested/stored.

So if you "fix" that all you are really doing is preventing the amounts of materials from being seen by API.

Cloaking is the closest thing to a "Pause Game" button one can get while in space.

Support better localization for the Japanese Community.
