Double Docking and Suicide

Mon Sep 01, 2003 12:32 pm by Freealpha

Have you ever docked when another ship is docking on a space station (not planet) Well, when you get there you go in and you are TRAP!!! Start firing to get your way out but then the station will turn hostile on you. Then it will attempt to fire at you but it fires upon itself. You die but it is amusing to see how stupid some people are in freelancer (NPC's of course). How on earth are they so advanced?

Rogues: I have the enemy in my scopes, i'm locking on
Me: God, i'm in a starflier and you still can't shoot, go back to boot camp and learn there.

This happened tp me once when chasing down one of those housefly Xenos before he docked, could see the outside, blinking between the doors. Yep they sure did shoot but I did get out ... don't know how .. perhaps just because its was the Xenos .... Nome base

If you throw enough mud ..some's gonna stick.

Heh, I love doing that! If you get caught in the docking bay just push F3 and the doors open to let you out, unless you decided to give them a frying... no hope.

I once got caught in a station to see what would happen. I then tried to dock with the station and put the thing on "Free Flight" mode. My ship ended up ramming every square inch of the cube before blowing up. Thank god for Autosave!

Happened to me a couple of times, too... I knew better than to shoot, though. Just sit there for a minute or two, someone else is bound to try to dock, and you'll get out when the door opens for them.

Yes, absolutely everything I post, including this, is spam.
Bite me.

How come you can kill ships right before they dock but they can't do it to you? Once you go into the little movie mode, you don't die reguardless of hull and sheild conditions. It's off topic, but still about docking--- RR16

Never had that happen, but with the profiteer on TNG i got my nose stuck in a station tho!

Who are you and why are you reading my quote?

for obvious reasons. Once the cinematic mode kicks on you cannot stop the docking process. Therefore you are defenseless and I don't think you would like getting killed when there is nothing you can do about it. As for killing NPC ships while they are docking. They are only computer controlled, who cares if they get killed while they can't fight back. Not like they can even when they aren't docking

In some ships (like battleships and luxary boats) I've noticed that the wings sometimes scrape the dock while exiting. Anyone ever gotten stuck in a dock? -- RR16
