To Ataros and anyone else regarding the question of VAC being enabled on our servers the answer is "yes". And as to whether or not we have seen any hard evidence of cheating, the answer is "no", because quite simply it's all speculation.
If everyone steps back and tries to look at it objectively you know we can't start banning people based on speculation. Witch hunts are always fun until the cross hairs are on your rear end.
What we have seen and have documented are assertions of hacks, exploits or cheats that have later been proven "false", such as fire extinguishers being used to cause lag and aircraft shooting skyward into the stratosphere.
To the question of if VAC is working or not, we would have to say we have no idea and it's a question that can only be answered by the developers and folks at steam. To the best of my knowledge VAC collects data over a period of time and then bans accounts based on that data.
Finally and I know this is a bit off topic but please everyone take into consideration that we are still dealing with a game that is broke in many areas, I mean we have ships floating 100 meters off the ground for goodness sake! Until the developers fix this game and give us the product we actually were promised and paid for that's just the way that things are, sad but true.
Sincerely, ATAG_WatchMan.
