The gas clouds in Sigma 13 have helped me plenty a time. Nothin takes out GMG or Corsairs faster than some good piloting and a big gas field.

Sigma-13 that's the one I was talking about

anyway I usually go into the clouds to avoid the GMG after I raid transports and the idiots follow me and burn up

personally, i've gone through the whole "hero" scenarios, and never seen a weird thing happen... well, if you count that time i when through a tradelane and colided with a transport that just exited the tradelane on the other side... i beleive the things like transports exploding right when they activate their boosters is a event that the computer creates to make it look like the transport had a defect in their boosters, just to add a effect of realism to the game... but the ship coliding and "mating" is an error in he AI's computer-generated flight path....

Note: im just guessing...

I've seen loads of trains crash into planets, seems to happen most around manhattan, tho...i think its bcos the ships have either just got out of a fight, or they come out of the trade lane into a battle...AI kicks into a preprogrammed escape route, but screws up and flys straight into the planet...big laughs...best thing ive ever seen is a ship dock upside down, it collided at the last minute ad flipped straight over))))))

The wierdest thing i've seen was when i was killing junkers out side of rochester and the one i was chasing passed straight through the station and came out the other side. (I half execpted the junker to come over the radio, "You best start believing in ghost stories Mr Trent, your in one.)

Time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so.

I saw a transport do something like that, only with a planet. A transport came out of the fort bush tradelane, and then turned near instantly toward Manhatten. Well, I saw it touch the planet, it didn't blow up, it just flew right into it. Well, I hit the cruise engines and raced to the other side of the planet, and what do you know, it was flying out the other side. After it left the planet, it turned around and headed to the docking ring. Its escorts blew up when the transport flew throught the planet though. This was in multiplayer, on a very laggy server.

cant we just accept that the game engine is slightly insane at times and thats the result of it..
