How to get out???

Tue Apr 05, 2005 11:38 pm by Puke Barwalker

A strange thing happened to me the other day -- and I was stuck like a rat in a trap. I was chasing some baddies and accidentally followed one into the docking port on a hostile base. So there I was stuck inside with no way to get back out! The programmers obviously hadn't considered anyone idiotic enough to do such a thing, since the game still displayed the location of the other bad guys outside of the base shooting at me (and hitting the outside of their own base). I tried targetting them to see what would happen, and my laser fire just bounced off of the walls inside. I waited around for 15 minutes, hoping that somebody might want to dock so that I could get out, but nobody ever did. Fortunately, I had saved the game a bit earlier and was able to just reload from before I got myself into that #$%*@!! mess. Does anyone know of a way to get out of such a situation?

p.s. In my old favourite HardWar, after so many minutes the lasers in the walls of the docking port will blast you to bits so that you wouldn't block the port for others! A tough solution, but one that was effective.

Nope, unless the station decides to lanch a fighter from that position. But they only launch when all others are killed

There is a way out, but it's more a bug exploit than anything else. Move your ship so its front has contact with one of the walls of your prison. Then hit F1 -> select new character and chose the one you were just playing. During the Loading screen, hit your aftterburner several times quickly, or keep it pressed all the time, until shortly after the game has finished loading. You should now be flying through the walls of the station. If you don't, just try again. This is very tricky and might take a few runs, but it works.

This method works on online servers, however I'm not sure if it does using OpenSP or while playing the storyline.

Just hit dock, then esc and fly out, hitting numerous walls as you do.

Hell, sometimes I get stuck in Detroit Munitions when I dock properly!!

I dock, take care of business and hit launch. Then I'm not sure what happens. It's almost like my ship doesn't make it out of the docking bay before the doors close... Then I can never get out and I have to reload.

I don't go to Detroit Munitions anymore.

Thanks,

If its hostile, you cannot dock.....hence why he was stuck..

Hit cruise - its much more fun that way, and the pain only lasts about 5 seconds....

this one saves having to click f1.

hit after burner and just hold it. your shelds will die dont worry its a good thing.

you know your doning this right when your computer says somthing about blowing up. then you will blow up. you will find your self were you were l;ast time you saved. or you could find someone on the sever to dock till you get out.

later

p.s dont look behind u

If you get stuck in a docking bay, just press F3 to dock, it opens, lets you out, and you dock properly.

Detroit is screwy. I don't think the designers set the flight paths right. I end up crashing into the station on docking approach for bay 2 everytime.
