I flew around a while in New York in a starflier, at some point i ram a piece of scrap in a scrap field and explode. A few seconds later i was clicking on respawn, respawning on Planet Manhattan, getting the base idling kick message and was being kicked some seconds later.
<strike>Doesn't make it better. If it is that common, why isn't it solved?</strike>
*coughs* Sorry 'bout the attitude.
Yes, this bug buggers me too. I hate it.
' Wrote:(Heck, I was watching some people pirating last night, and their victim ended up sending ME the money, thinking I was part of the pirating crew because I was red to him as well. I had to chime up real quick so they didn't blast him...)
I think it only happens if you don't say anything during the fight.
Try typing something before you hit respawn and see if you can still reproduce the bug.
