Increased Drag ???

I was flying through Tau-23, near the sun when I heard "Increased Drag Detected". Has anyone heard this before?. If so what does it mean ?
Thanx

Never heard that one before. You sure you didn't hear "Entering sun corona" instead?

Nope, i'm sure. There WAS a sabre (outcast) travelling behind me though....

Did you check your max. speed? When in cruise mode it doesn't get to 300. With thruster your ship doesn't get to 200 (the 'normal' maximum)

I was at cruise speed (300), going from the Tau 37 Warphole directly (avoiding the sun of course) to the Tau 31 gate. The sun was DIRECTLY to my Left when I got the message. There were no ships around save one Outcast sabre which was about 2km back. I was NOT near the sun corona at the time.

Hope this helps.

I have had something like this before, mainly when I enter the sun's corona and try to fly out again. Only thing I noticed was my cruise engines had a heck of a time starting up...

@DaVoid -

Ihad the same problem, and I heard the "Increased Drag Detected" but it was when I got too close to the Tau-37 sun because I was looking at what the "Object Unknown" in the sun was lol! Your cruise engines take a while to start up, but just afterburn out of the corona or you'll be toast, quite literally!
