The filenames though, do not change even on updates - so for seasonal CGs, existing ships that we already know the filename, we don't need for the data-servers to open, we just re-download the static swf files regularly and check if the devs replaced them with the new art. in fact the CG watchlist is still up on my website (it has some backend admin controls somewhere to specify which ships to check)

for new ships to be released though, we don't know their filenames so for those we need for the data-servers to open, fetch api_start2 and check mst_shipgraph like @Ckwng said

my account though, that I have used for probably more than a year has not been banned (coz it's only doing api_start2) - but repeatedly during updates - like every 2 mins
