Playing chicken with ships.

Jul 03, 2005 icbm1987 link
First off, I'd like to thank Black 2 and Martin for what has been my (Zoras Ock's) most enjoyable day of VO to date.

I was at Sky Command and started playing chicken with Black 2 and his Prom... while intermittently going to pick on some queens.

We decided to try it with his moth as well... but the odd thing was... I went straight through the moth... is that supposed to happen? Suffice to say, it kind of messed up our fun to not be able to play chicken with the moth...

has anyone else had collision detection issues while in a moth?

No, but they are quite bouncy, try playing busvollyball with a moth. Tons of fun. :P

Actually, I was in Deneb and I logged by a 'roid, when I logged back, I was IN the 'roid!

w00t!

Bus vollyball!... now that sounds like FUN! (for everyone 'cept the ball... but, thinking twice... I think I'd even volunteer to be the ball...) Okay... when I get a chance... I'm the ball... and I'm hopin' folks will choose sides.

Yeah... but I was the one in the bus... and I went straight through him

If you hit at certain vertex's of a ships model at high speeds you slip past the collision detection. It also has the side effect of often heavily damaging your ship when you exit the model you are inside of.

Good to hear icbm. Feel free to stop by grey space for some combat practise too.

BLAK : We're pleased to aim (qu. Alamar)

Try ramming cap ships with a moth, that was the most fun I had had in a vary long time.

lol yeah, that was weird, somehow i just couldnt hit him. we were about 2900m apart, and then somehow i missed him even though i had aimed at him. i guess he did go through me.
