small problem with my ship RANDOMLY EXPLODING...

Fri May 16, 2003 5:29 am by bobtheavengerrr

I think i have angered the FL gods by increasing my cruise speed and eliminating collision damage. Every time i try to go any signifigant distance, my wings explode....

However, i have been playing with these modifications for several weeks, and this has never happened before today.

Anyone have any idea what the heck is happening? Thanks.

Try restarting your pc. I had a problem where my dreadnought kept exploding everytime i left Stuggart. Restarting solved it.

I tried restarting...no luck
I'm still stuck exploding in Omega-11

I'm not trying to be patronising but isn't the omega 11 system radioactive? I may be wrong but I am pretty sure. Make sure to use nanobots to keep your hull constantly repaired, if that doesn't work then I don't know

having explored the phenominon further, the problem does seem to occur only when i am in a radiation belt, but i never have enough hull damage to warrant my wings exploding---it's usually only a few bars or less

Your wings have seperate amounts of hp based on your total. Thats why you can shoot the wings of a fighter and it can still haunt you.

good point
i also noticed today that certain factors in the game (radiation damage, coronal damage, rate that cargo perishes at) seems to be more based on distance traveled than on actual travel time. If this is true, having a very high cruise speed would make the damage accumulate faster.

or am i just totally wrong?
