No, I can honestly say I haven’t noticed that. Maybe I should pay more attention.

welcome jeeves...enjoy the boards...wander over to the "off topic" board when you get chance and meet the rest of the motley crew here

can't say I've noticed that either...but now you've said it, I suppose it does. I remember when I first played FL, I kept going backwards and forwards through the trade lanes as often as possible because I loved the effect. I'm easily impressed though

What bugs me is when you dock with a trade lane and than a AI controlled ship enters it BEHIND you they PASS you and end up coming out BEFORE you, this is most annoying with the "trains" you end up smashin into em when you come out.

Damn the torpedos! Full speed ahead!

@echo4 - I actually had it once where this happened and I was physically stuck into the back of the train. It flew around with me attached to it quite happily for a while until I discovered that the only way out of it was to blow my way out!

Yeah, that happened to me too. It seems if you come out of a trade lane with some form of transport in front of you, you will not crash into it but get stuck in the middle!

Yeah i noticed that....i also noticed that watching paint dry is boring.
