I have had this happen to me many times in the past few days. I will be flying my Camara through a trade lane and I will run into NPC's and/or other players in the lane and die instantly.
In all my years of Freelancer I have never heard of this or experienced this and am therefore going to go out on the limb that this may possibly be caused by mod mechanics. Or if it isn't, I am posting this with the hope that it could be fixed to prevent sporadic random deaths.

We will remember - We do not Forget - We do not Forgive
you know I used to think that this would suck most of all of the new problems with the mod features but oddly this doesn't happen to me.
must be a server only tweak or something because I run into things in the lanes and I never blow up.
I do watch for it though, whenever I see npcs or something behind or in front of me I will exit the tradelane early.
but I can remember a couple times where I hit a ship that was docking to the lane while I'm going through and neither ship blew.
so I recently started exploring Coronado. I must say you're all doing a wonderful job.
so I recently started exploring Koeln. I must say you're all doing an amazing job.
some time ago I explored Rousillon. Impressive. Particularly the music on the planet that was a nice surprise.
so I recently started exploring Omega-55. LOL... NOMADS. LOTS AND LOTS OF NOMADS. SHOOTING THINGS. I GOT THE HELL OUT OF THERE. (and I was thinking, jeez I can't remember what that one was from the news. I hope I don't run into a nomad system)
recently started exploring Omega-41. what did you guys do to the star? that new effect there, that's impressive.
If you hit a ship at lane speed, it'll do a fair bit of ramming damage (a quarter of a transport shield or so). The sort of death being discussed here is when ships actually end up crashing while both going the same way in the lane. They keep ramming until one loses out.
' Wrote:tbh, it's quite hilarious. I hope it doesnt get 'fixed'. its realistic and adds some humor to trading.
*Dash fondly remembers crushing the [LN] VA twice in his [LN] Bison*
I remember when Rheinland sent that delegated to Kusari there were so many [KNF] killed by [RM] and vice versa from lane collisions that if you were just following the blues you'd think a war had broken out.
