leader board cheating

[SvnLvls]

so is there going to be anything done/added to keep people from cheating/purge cheating from the leader board? looking over the numbers there is most clearly some suspect activity.

[Evilgenius]

Just wondering, what do you think is suspected activity on there?

he as made twice as much money as me and yet, salvaged less reactors, less total Kg of salvage, less processed items, less barge items. his debt is in the positive. what do you think? does this not look suspect to you?

The stats itself aren't really clean cut but this does look suspicious as heck as if a value multiplier was used.

Yeah I had thought about firing up cheat engine and moving myself close to zero to find out if there is any congrats message when you go into the green, before leaderboards were added I had figured the leader boards were for competitive mode and not career mode.
The fact that this is early access also means that balance is subject to change and therefore leaderboards are rather meaningless, unless you wipe progress with every update (which I don't think people will appreciate) as such they seem to be, as of now a very poor use of developer time. I can only assume they were created out of a feeling of "It's been over a week and we haven't updated, we have to give our players something new" and leader boards were almost finished anyway.
