The Reverend is right.
Even with AutoMacros/AutoReplies set to send "N* Q" when it registers "ARE YOU SURE CAPTAIN? (Y/N) [N]" i could still type cby fast enough to do it.
I wish i'd have xported into a different ship now. (i wanted to be fed safe anyway) lol

I'm going to listen to the reverend more from now on.

lol It's hard to believe you'd actually test that. Of course a macro is going to beat any saveguards that work off of a trigger or incoming text. By the time the your protection reads the text "Are you sure Captain", the macro has already sent the "y" and guess what? You're dead. That's the reason I didn't even suggest a safeguard for it. That goes for cby's, or blind warps. Only way to prevent it, is to use a buffer to catch text it before it's sent to the server and fix the problem at that stage.
