alainreid, I'm sorry if people have been harassing you about this. You're not under investigation.

Please guys, I get that these attacks are frustrating, but there's no point trying to find the culprit. And a witch hunt  won't help anybody, especially not the community.
 
If you have specific questions, feel free to PM me.

Again please don't accuse other players. Thank you.

So, I understand that since I was critical about admins and posted in this forum, that Wolfpup and Enforcer prefer that I play elsewhere.  I've complied and more or less just stopped playing the game.  I've come back about three times in the past two or three months, but I intend on leaving you alone since I don't want to be where I'm not welcome.  I have a fairly stressful job and I like to play games to unwind, not engage in drama. 

That being said, this community should leave me alone as well.  I'm not hacking your server and I would never do anything like that.  I've been playing the game for what seems like forever and I do love the game and the community servers in general.  I'm just a bit worn out, have less patience, and am perhaps too sensitive.  Please stop investigating my hacking activities because it's annoying and a waste of your time.  You should consider some of the other people who have actively hacked on the server before.  Wasn't there some dude who was coming in and hacking and griefing and somehow avoiding bans right when this wolfpup stuff went down?  Shouldn't they be a suspect rather than me who left you alone when you told me not to play on the server anymore?

To answer some your questions:
- Yes, the server is definitely the target of these attacks. The attacks start when the server is full, and the goal is to overwhelm the server. They happen daily for the past two weeks.

- If you would like more details, please PM me directly from your forum account here.

- We are mitigating the attacks, it's obviously not enough.
When the server is overwhelmed, most players are disconnected. The server also disappears from the browser/favorites list. When that happens, you can manually reconnect by using the console in-game:
connect 162.248.94.208:27015

- I understand if you decide to move on to another community. Thank you for your support for all these years

- I will be crediting 15 days to all current donators. You will not receive a confirmation PM about this since this is not an automated process. If you would like to know your new membership expiration date, you can PM me.

- Finally, I'm expecting the attacks to keep going.

If you have more questions, feel free to PM me here on the forums.

Plasma,
Is Hyperion itself the target, or is it the result of collateral damage from someone targeting a higher level entity?

Roughly 2 weeks have passed since the attacks started, which should be enough time to draw some conclusions. 

Perhaps it's time to release more details on what is known at this point.

In any case, thank you for trying to mitigate.

Another update:

If you don't see the server in your favorites/browser, you can try connecting to it manually by typing in console:

Due to the attacks, the server can disappear from your favorites, while it is actually running. If you cannot connect manually, then you probably need to wait 20min to try again.
