need to fix this exploit ASAP

I'm sure many of you are aware of the bug-exploit that allows you to enter a population locked continent via the HART. I won't go into details here, but it is horribly detrimental to gameplay. I was playing VS on emerald and there were more VS in my radar than could show up at one time. This never happend before this exploit got discovered, now we are seeing super-zerging as a result. I'm talking over 1,000 players from one empire at a single base. This causes a number of framerate and downstream problems, and probably several server-side problems as well. (after somone is killed, their backpack dissapears instantly, I think this is one example of a problem related to this exlpoit.) We need to get the devs to address this problem immediately.

This never happend before this exploit got discovered

This bug has been around forever. Its not like its a new thing that everybody discovered at once and decided to exploit.
The mass of people in a base was most likely due to every on the continent camping for a big XP base as opposed to spreading out and getting different bases.

I openly use this exploit whenever i need to. I don't feel bad about it either because I beleve the pop lock thing is STUPID.
If I CTD I cant get back and I no longer get to play with my squad.
