Ramming

Postby evovi » Tue Dec 22, 2015 11:37 pm

whenever a ship scans me, even authority, it proceeds to ram into me... hurts when its a big ship... anyone else getting this? persist even reloggin, restarting, and different game types!

I've had this a few times outside of the larger station then they fine me for dangerous flying..... :P

It was mainly in the Sidewinder as I've not had it happen in the Hauler yet

Yup. Been happening to me quite a bit lately. Managed to accumulate a few fines that way.
Happens even when flying straight and within speed limit.

Yup, had the same thing happen a few times when near a station. Damned NPC's doing their Kamikazee thing - worst thing is that I got fines for dangerous flying! :shock:

I gave up on the combat Dahan CG as every time I go into a USS etc I just get rammed by the ships. Lost 2 Pythons like that (one was because as I jumped in 3 ships started scanning me and kamikaze into me! First brought shields almost down, second finished off and seriously damaged hull third I went pop) I can't make enough money there to sustain 4 million loss of ship any more.

I don't go into SSS's as it is suicide - normally wings of 5+(!) of npc's with Anaconda's, Vultures and other misc ships. I am shield-less before I can even turn to fire. And USS's are useless normally spawning a couple of harmless or mostly harmless sidies to eagles. I am now in my Anaconda going out to Betelgeuse and then on to the rim.

Obviously flying within the speed limit will avoid fines, and gives you time to avoid the ships scanning you.
I've had similar experiences but staying within the speed limit a bump is not really an issue.

I've had a police vessel hit my python so hard it knocked me to 27% hull, and destroyed itself. Happened whilst mining, and the ship scanning me was allied/green to me, hence why I didn't attempt to move.

Fdev are aware of the issue so I'd expect it gets fixed, until then I'd suggest everyone steers clear of scans where possible.

Yeah but! Like you said you was mining - bit hard to dodge - and when your trying to fly through the letterbox and get smashed into the toast rack - gets rather frustrating - these little "quirks" yeah quirks not
Bugs :) (few drinks clouding judgement) keep Fdev busy and keeps em all in jobs (conspiracy theory)
