Title: Changing Angle of Primaries
Post by: Snail on July 21, 2007, 01:38:46 pm

I was playing FS a second ago, killing friendly fighters since I was bored, changing viewpoints and rotating using external views, etc. etc, when something freaky happened. My primary laser cannons started firing really off target. As if their trajectory had been changed somehow. They fired outwards. I figured I pressed some button by mistake, but I haven't been able to re-create that phenomenon. Was it a bug/one-off?

Probably a bug... I didn't program any of any build, so I have nothing else to add.

Were you pulling up hard at the time?

Pulling up hard, stationary and in a straight line.

Oh.  So it's not that the shots were coming towards the camera across the screen with your ship in the distance... hmm, IDK.
