Weird stuff on Freelancer

[Aidy70060]

Hey,

I'd just like to post some weird things i've seen on Freelancer.

I've had Freelancer for a looonngggg time, prehaps 2002ish. And earlier this week, i saw one of the strangest things out of my whole Freelancing life. A Rheinlander Gunboat was in an asteroid field, and it hit one asteroid, just one asteroid, and it spazzed out all over the damn thing. I saw it a bit later drifting towards a minefield..You know the rest;)

Any of you guys see weird stuff like that?

EDIT: I put Rheinlander Valkryie Gunboat by accident. I ment a gunboat, not the heavy fighter:)

yea the weirdest thing happened to me today....

I was coming from dublin to NL through the jumphole. Well before i jumped i saw a person just come through to dublin. After i got to the other side, he stayed on scanners at 100k, 110, 120k, then it just said far. In order to get him off i had to dock and undock

FL came out in 2003....

Anyways, I have seen some weird stuff before, like this happening when you alt-tab to reveal nomad ships have an odd texture..

And the ever popular "invisible ship with floating equipment," and this too (graphical glitch, here's the before image too...)

Know what else is strange?

That happens if there is a player near by and you kill a NPC

So after taking a break for about a year I've decided to get back in to Disco. So yeah.

Once I was flying through Omega 11 and some NPCs showed up. I got red lag and they stayed behind. As I was near the Omega 41 jumphole, my cruise engines got disrupted, apparently by those NPCs a while back. I got to the Omega 41 jh, but my ship didn't want to enter it cause of the lag. I waited and waited and then appeared suddenly way back, about half way back between Freital and the jh. I tried flying to the jh again, but kept snapping back so I gave up and logged out. Few hours later, I logged in and found myself in the middle of Omega 41, nowhere near the jh to Omega 11...

How's this for strange. I was escorting a Lux Liner through Cortez and after I left the 'chester->Planet lane, I was stuck with a constant TL animation that bugged me all the way to New York! Also had to fight off a slave liner with the animation too. (Entering another TL would leave a second animation but would go away)

Two lanes at the same time

Lag, thats all I need to say.
// When king's CD missed ashcroft... Is that because he is 10K away, or because he DOSENT HAVE ONE!?!?!?

Hehehehe... yeah.



In Disco 4.84 SP, the Rheinland GB forward guns on the SP GBs were upped to disco levels, however little else was. THis meant that when you defend Willard Research Station, the GBs rip through the battleship Unity in seconds. Juni then docks your pay for allowing a CRUISER to die, and later on, when you have to escape Liberty, the Unity appears once more to be destroyed!
