large bs in fogged sector

Jul 10, 2010 davejohn link
One of my relatives took a large BS , deneb H6. ( 8000 roids fogged) .

While the mission worked its way out the relative could not log in, sector taking ages to load and timing out at login. Mission completes in background, relative rescued.

I understand deneb is in a state of flux , but flag H6 as another place where BS are not working.

Still happening.

Tried it tonight, got bumped back to O 12 , the sector I jumped from halfway through the loading screen.

Took a fighter skirmish in F6 , a fogged sector. That worked fine ( I actually like fighting in amongst all those fogged roids ), though oddly I was grouped with the capships from H6.

Had another go at H6, VO just locked up at the loading screen , though the progress bar got to the end.

Made a coffee , to my great surprise about 5 mins after getting to the end of the loading bar I'm actually in sector. However , I'm not in a group with any of the capships I saw whilst in F6 , in fact I'm not in a group at all. I do see the kill counter Serco 668 , Itani 563. Mission tab shows I am in the mission.

Npcs ? Well, they must be there somewhere, but since I'm not grouped I can't find them. Not a sausage. Bugger all. Mission log shows a whole lot of npcs having issues.

So, I wander about a bit looking for something to take a pot shot at, every now and then the kill counter goes down a bit.

I move on to whisky, and do the Herald crossword. The cryptic one, obviously.

Then VO just crashed. My relative is floating, somewhere.

Ok, a silly history, all true, but I am fairly good at knowing when VO is having issues. For the last few days voys and things involving npcs have been laggy. No real idea , just a feeling deneb might be worth a closer look.

Thanks Ecka. I just methodically determined what potential BS sectors had dense roid fields, and came up with just H6. Please do let me know if you encounter this again after tonight's update: I'm pretty confident you won't.

I concur with these findings I ended up in Deneb f5 once and it took a logoff/logon to enter the sector then when i found enemies they were un hittable then i tried to leave and enter did nothing then /explode did nothing

i /exploded a few times and never died then after 10 min my ship warped and exploded at the same time

I know you have been busy, just noting that it is still happening, F5 and E6.

I don't know how those two slipped through my last weeding, but they're out now.
