Title: Using the Babylon 5 station as a catapult!!
Post by: foolfromhell on August 27, 2007, 02:29:44 pm

I used FRED to turn myself invulnerable and flew into the Babylon 5 docking port.
I started ping-ponging around the docking bay walls, then it ejected me ONE HUNDRED KILOMETERS at the direction of the docking port...

I tried it again, but this time, it ejected me to the other side, INSIDE the station...
This is funny!

Yeah FS engine does strange things when something is roating. In the matter of fact it seems to its general emergency directive. When something happens and the engine doesn't know how to handle it, it just throws it far away...

This isn't exactly new. There was a contest once, who could catapult himself the furthest :)
But back than it was from the Hangar of the Orion station.
