Elite: General talk

Fast is in relative terms. They don't use wormholes as we do, or portals into/out of Witch Space like other Thargoid ships are seen doing. They travel dark space between stars at superluminal speeds... I believe the highest that Cocijo was seen travelling on its current journey was 105,000c (yes). No human ship can match that. For reference, at a speed of 100,000c you'd be crossing 8 light years in about 42 minutes.

It did cross a (straight line) distance of 189 light years in just about a week, but the actual distance travelled is probably slightly higher than that as it passes by stars in its travel and so has to diverge to follow the path they offer. If you consider the actual distances of space involved, compared/relative to the mode of travel... yeah, it's pretty damn fast.

So it was brought to my attention today that someone's antivirus software flagged a trojan present in the EDHM UI mod/companion to the primary mod, and I decided to see if mine reported the same. Sure enough it's flagged and isolated the files as well under that pretense.

Who or whatever is behind this can take a walk into the nearest fire pit. This was not an issue until one of the recent compatibility patches, or maybe not even until today (and I definitely didn't run it through any updates - deliberately/myself - since Thursday). Maybe I'll just remove the thing and suffer the oranges until more is known...

... and if this is more suited to the off-topic section feel free to move it there. Just figured it's worth pointing out in case it isn't just some idiotic joke or false flag.

*Apparently it is just Windows programs being idiots. As usual.

We have confirmed on our end that this is a false positive from Windows Defender.
Yesterday Defender gave alerts then nothing until tonight and then nothing again.
We are investigating possible solutions on our end to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, but it may be necessary to wait for Defender to update on all systems, hoping that it will stop acting up.
