A fairly odd happening

[Mickk]

Ok, this is something that happened to me today, at around 6:05pm my time (Perth, West Australia).

I had been held up by an Outcast GB and a Hacker...(?) fighter of some sort, in my Kusari Explorer on the tradelane between Fort Bush and Planet Manhatten.

I had obeyed instructions (cut your engines), I had hit the Z key which done and was drifting along at max thruster speed, got shot with a cd, hit the Z key again and was drifting along under 80.

Was asked for a 'donation' and had just replied that I was looking to see how much I could afford (I don't keep a lot credits on the Explorer).

At about this point, I suddenly found myself moving sideways (more or less) at some huge speed, how fast I don't know, but I suddenly found myself more than 2klicks away with the gap between me and the 'pirates' rapidly expanding.

I don't know what happened, but at a guess I was hit by something moving extremely fast, because when I docked I had hull damage, not much hull damage and I hadn't been fighting against anything that could damage my shields rapidly enough to be able to damage the hull.

It's an interesting situation and while it would be interesting to find out what happened, duplicating the circumstances would be difficult.

I posted here because I don't know if it's a glitch or an 'unprogrammed feature' as things like this are called. :P
