I Just saw two Trains have a headon..

I was in Tau-37 sitting and waiting for some outcasts to kill. I saw two "IMG?" Trains slam head-on into each other, they bounced off each other one shot stright up the other just move backwards then went on it's way..

I do think there should have been a big explosion?

I swear thoughs Trains look like they are hanging from a string sometimes.

HA! Thats nothing. I saw a Republic transport open fire on a IMG (I think) transport moored on New London. The Repub transport then attacked another transport, but was blown up by a station. Don't know what was going on, but I think it has something to do with lag.

Heh, they do sort of look like that sometimes, when they bob up and down quickly to avoid asteroids. The animations for the trains could've been a bit better.

One news article said something about a pirate tactic involving having two trains have a head on collision then they just mop up and return to there pirate base.

if you are getting scanned by cops and you land at the same time the cops will attempt to land without using the docking ring you can watch them burn up before your screen loads to the planet

Last night, I slam a train with my Eagle, and sent it spinining out of control...

The Eagle must be very heary...

..and I just wonder, where do I buy one of those?...

but more than that, they didn't bounce off! they just kept pushing each other until they both blow up!!!

wahahahaha damn I love hacks!

Dude, where's my Super Star Destroyer?

God the AI is priceless sometimes, best one I've seen yet was when I was messin around last night, went to new tokyo to pillage anyone carrying engine components. Two samura train's arrive on my scopes and begin having a good ole natter to each other and in a sarcastic voice says "I hear you can buy and sell anything on a junker base" the dialogue was cut short when he rammed into planet new tokyo

I was mining diamonds in the Van Rohe belt not far from Solarius station when a Hessian stiletto does a driveby on me and continues straight into the sun... :O

At a thought, Maybe these AI bugs are due to the fact that the world of freelancer isn't constantly running, It only runs when it needs too Ie when your their things happen when you leave it gets missed out of the the way it works.

Or maybe its System by System, I'm not sure..

Btw - I think your Bull craping on the battleships, They normally just go very slowly or just stop basicly.. 2 of them in the same area is almost impossible o.O

I was cruising through the Molly Goldfields, having become chums with 'em and all, but I had to wonder how clever my newfound friends were as they kept blowing up on the mines they'd set all around. One after another - it was like watching a buglight zapping passing insects.

I was in leeds yesterday, and i exited from battleship norfolk(?). There were a bunch of mollys flying around and attacking the battleship and everyone else there. WEll, there was a bretonian gunboat flying around and it rammed the back of the norfolk! it blew up and i thought it was pretty funny. Actually it didnt blow up immediately, it did that twitchy thing when it hit and the gunboats health bar slowly went down. THEN it blew up.

*I hate my old signature, so I changed it...to this*
Actually, i have a screenshot of it...i just gotta figure out how to get the screenshot here... Dont bother telling me, ill figure it out.
