I saw a strange train convoy...

I was qeued for the jump gate...then a train flys past me. BACKWARDS, though the jump hole.

then anotherone, it did a bellyflop into the jump hole vortex thingy.

I've also seen a train STUCK inside a jump gate...that was funny.

i've also been rammed by a train, and survived....it didn't though (Thank GOODNESS for lvl 10 sheilds) Some rouges attacked the tradelane, I was picking them off...tradelane came back on...WHOOSH, BANG, I was about 2K away, and the train was gone..leaving lots of nice cargo...

I hate lag though...I once lost a job due to it. was fighting, then suddenly the enemy ships were, get this, 72K away! "You have 20 seconds to enter combat'

*sigh* lost some rep for that one, was a 240,000 job.

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?...

Hate to tell you this, vut there is no weight in space, cos there isn't any gravity pullin you down.

The Eagle must of either
A)had a HUGE amount of momentum
or
Busted the game.

maybe not weight but there is mass..a 120 pound person is still not going to be able to move a 20ton weight

i was on my way to a trade lane near manhattan when a train came out the trade ring. then another train immediately came out and it had to stop to not ram the other train. then another train came out and rammed the one that stopped. and then, i swear to god, another came out and rammed that one! the whole mess just exploded and it was the funniest thing i ever saw.

Hmm, try destroying a train just as it starts to go through the trade lane then following it, you'll notice if you did it right, a few smoking parts would have made it halfway through the trade lane, maybe even the whole way.

i modified Manhattan so a fleet of 6 battleships appear in orbit... one time when i was heading to my jumpgate i noticed something odd... ALL 6 RAMMED INTO MANHATTAN!!! the planet started spinning (not moving just spinning)

before i lowered the cruise speed to normal every time i left a planet i would always hear "AHHH!!!!" or some other scream coming from the local police as they creamed themselves in the planet

but nothing is funnyier than watching battleships ram into planets

I hate the trains! I think they must have a keg up on the bridge, because the captains are all drunk. I lost a half load of perishables waiting at two seperate jump gates while the trains swiveled around, trying to dock with a massive, stationary object!

The next time I'm stuck dodging pirates while a train tries to dock with a gate, I'm opening fire!

there is a mod for flmm that is sweeet, i was in hudson, waiting to use the jumpgate, rouges come in and pick a fight with the convoys waiting to dock, so while the fight is going on, the mod re-calculates my route, and sends me to the bering jumphole.

sometime the impact detection of the gameis off. i once came out of a tradelane and infront of me was a train. When i slowed down at the end of the trade lane i went stright thoough the train and stopped right in the middle of it. As expected i get trapped in the middle and blow up. which was annyoningbut i just load a new save

The weirdest collision I had was me in a Sabre and a Nomad Fighter. We rammed almost head-on, and it got its nose stuck between my wings. I actually had to go reverse thrust to separate us and continue the furball. It also didn't help that 2 of his friends were shooting at me while my maneuverability was shot by this thing caught on my ship. . . .

Haha... while docking on Planet Curaco an entire flight wing crashed into the planet right after the transport leading it said "I hope this H-Fuel catches a good price"

a convoy consisting of 2 Large Transports and 3 Hawks, running into the atmosphere of Honshu. They just went straight in from the trade lane, smack into the planet. There were parts all over the place.

Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless

Well I've just had the most weird accidents here in FL.

I was flying with my Anubis around a Liberty cruisers formation, when I made a sharp turn, I got stuck right inside a Liberty Cruiser main gun barrel. I keep on bouncing inside, even when I tried reverse thrust.

So desperately, I activated the cruise engine, and the Cruiser was pushed away :p
But it still didn't get me off from the stupid cruiser barrel, so as a last resort, I opened full guns including torpedoes, blowing the poor cruiser into oblivion, then I was free, althought I got chase by an entire Liberty fleet after that :p

If you want to see funny things with train, I suggest you go into formation with one of them, escpecially when they are cruising into an asteroid belt
