Battlemetrics shows 2 players on for 6 hours overnight (NZDT) 21st July.

There is a tight community on this public server currently - 9 players with their own bases - who are all in contact with each other via Steam and Discord, so we were able to measure the damage done on the server over the 4 nights.
The hackers are careful to only log on when players are not. When one of us logs on they quickly log off.
However we were able to collect some screenshots of player names. We did not catch them in the act of hacking, but we have been playing on this server for 4 - 5 months and have a very accurate database of regular players.



Screenshots of suspected hackers - they logged out immediately after one of the regular players logged on.

This level of hacking - especially the griefing - turns people off this game.
9 regular players who have all paid good money for this game and are all playing in good faith.

Is battle eye up to date ? How are two players able to use hacks for 4 days straight and battle eye is not able to detect cheating ?

PLEASE FIX ! This is not acceptable.
