The process of this was akin to homing in enemy home sectors.

the problem is that when someone times out, the server continues to plot their trajectory, even if there are asteroids in the way, they (the player) are given infinite mass, or move through the asteroid, or something.

Thanks for the bug report, although I object to threat of exploiting it so that it will be fixed sooner. That seems to imply that you don't trust the devs to deal with bugs in the order that makes the most sense.

At least I think that's what you were doing. It's a little hard to tell...

The problem wasn't my inability to discern scarcasm.

Isn't it possible to get inside objects by being bumped into them slowly?
Mar 28, 2004 zamzx zik link
no.....but you used to be able to un them if you got ramed at 200m...like going in the frig (fun!) dont know if you can still do that...

No Celkan, you head toward it slowly and then pull your internet connection. The server still plots your course regardless of what's in the way. When you log back in, you'll be inside the asteroid/station/whatever. Right now it's pretty useless without avalons, because any weapon contacts with the inside of the asteroid, so unless someone was resting on the asteroid and you unloaded with a rocket rag, it'd be hard to "exploit" and cause harm to other players.

It is, however, fun to make people target you and wonder where the hell you are.

Actually Camps, you COULD bump people into roids and stations if they were positioned correctly.

And Zamzx... it's *Asteroid*.
