weird stuff thats happened in game

One time I was in the New Berlin system when someone was scanning me. While he did so, he kept on going foreward and ran into me and bounced me into the atmosphere of a planet. Has any thing weird happened to you while you were playing this game?

yeah, when you go to bretonia in the SP campaign and fight the hunters in by the magellan jump gate. juni didnt come out of the gate then it told me i had 'ran from the fight' for some reason.

I've had ships crashing into planet docking rings while I was docking them.
Probably didn't want to wait their turn...

When Illusion is gone, the truth still remains...

HOW HAS NO ONE MENTIONED NPC TRANSPORTS CRASHING AND BURNING IN MANHATTAN'S ATMOSPHERE!!!!!!!!!!!

Ehm. No.

WHen I was supposed to flee from Libery and the Unity was just destroyed Juni had fought some Navy guys quite a bit away from me. I docked with the lane and Juni came after. In cruise. When I had waited for her at West Point for a few minutes (and a lot of "Trent, dock with the Trade Lane!" from Juni) the game went "Mission Failed - You failed to dock with the trade lane", though it was only Juni that had failed to do so. And King of course.

when you abrupty lose network connections on MP servers, commands stop bein sent or something, and for a few seconds things go awry.
I was hunting nomad weapons with my bud, i lost my connection, and he sped into a star corona, it was kinda funny.
At one point I was fighting rogues, and for the few seconds i was in connection limbo, the thing sped off at ludicrus speeds sideways shrinking out of view.

You don't know what it's like to be on the run, I know, because i pissed a house AND a clan off.

#Team-Pr0Jectil, could it be that you entered the tradelane Manhattan->West Point at the second ring instead of at the first one? Happened to me once (took the second ring because it was nearer) and I got a "failed to dock bla bla" mission failure screen.

One thing that annoyed me a bit was that the shield generators of the Nomad structure in the "rescue a Nomad powercell" mission are invulnerable until King is finished telling you that they should be taken out, why they should be taken out, and that it is you who should do this. I think you also have to stop shooting for a moment if you are already blasting away at the first one.

In the system with the red giant (Omega 11 i think), you can see Red Hessians running into the sun's corona, slow down to try and get out, and then explode. Quite funny.

An idiot Bounty Hunter ram me in Freidstat, and I'm still inside the hangar about to launch. We both got stuck inside untill I blow him up to pieces, wait for another ship to launch, I got free, and escape fast since Freidstat and her ships are now hot in my tail since I blew up their buddy

To funny things happend to me: In SP: (rebalance mod 0.9d) GMG eagles attack hessians.... (they should only attack the outcasts (location :malta, omicron alpha) Maybe they attacked them cause they have hessians never seen before .
In MP: I started a mp char and tooked a mission. I flew to the waypoint (think it was assasination or clean mission) . Ok, Istarted to fight but i wasnt very well cause the server lagged... Then suddenly I thought i cant believe my eyes: The5 hostile ships on my contact list were min. 20k dislodged of my position!?

Once, in the demo, I got hit by a mine while having engines turned off. That kicked me away in around 400 speed units. Lost the mission quite soon.

Once, I was approaching Pitsburg docking ring in my corvette (which rocks!), I came close before engaging autopilot dock. I came in a little too fast and at an angle, so that when I engaged the dock autopilot, I smacked off the outer edge of the ring and go chasing my tail around the ring and through it several times before the computer gives up trying to orient the ship properly and proceeds to land me sideways!
