Today I had a curious incident. A capital ship warped in form subspace just facing me.. and while it was still warping I hitted my afterburners to ram it (was tired of playing).. I hitted him before his warping was complete.. but.. well i dint hitted.. I ENTERED him. I stood there .. inside his model... unharmed.


Just had to wait the ship kill itself trying to hit me whit beam weapons of her own.  Seems to be some king of bug with collision detection prevision (maybe because the two ships were changing speed fast while ramming each other.. and placement prediction missed something)

Just wanna know if anyone had ever faced souch..  strange at least.. bug?  That happende once in X-wing alliance too... but that time the star destroyed waped form hyperspace around me.

I've never seen that myself... Might be fun to try to reproduce if one gets bored with nothing else to do. A Sathanas would even provide lots of room to fly around in.

By the way, the past tense of the word "hit" is hit. I almost had to spoon out my eyes reading that post.

I once ended up inside a Colossus.

Oddly enough, I could fly out of it.

It is not a rare issue. That happens quite often when a ship is warping in or out.

I hope you didn't take it too hard.
You do speak quite well, and I totally agree with Bobboau - according to my experience, your english is indeed better than that of most americans.
(If you observe my location, it isn't english-speaking either. Fortunately, we are taught english from 3rd grade onward (8-9 year old), and I've always had a natural knack for it - something I'm very happy about.)

That hasn't happened to me, but I've had several transports dock with capships from the inside (Moloch and Iceni). That was kind of weird.

With docking, it's a bad pathing issue, simply put.  I wasn't aware that the Moloch had such problems as well (I fixed the Iceni) but it doesn't surprise me.  As for the bug of winding up inside a capship, I've encountered it all to many times.  Mod capships seem to have the most trouble, but I couldn't begin to tell you why converters like to corrupt faces.  Sometimes it can happen if the ships are moving really fast and especially if the collision occurs at a vertex (place two identical and symmetrical capships facing each other along a FRED axis and tell them to exit hyperspace from those points at the same time; they will fly right through each other about every time).  Not much way around this bug I'm afraid.  And, I should mention, you can always get out if you wind up inside a ship.  The faces are one-sided so you can fly back out through any part.  Unless you are running in hardware acceleration mode, in which case your card may be rendering both sides of all the polygons.

Pimp that dock-fixed Iceni!
