Negative Hull Bug

Apr 22, 2003 HumpyThePenguin link
Okay today I was (I being Scuba Steve 9.0)shooting nukes inside of sec 13's docks. I shot the nuke and docked as the blast radius had enlarged about 5m. when i left the station i came up invisible with -118% hull and couldnt move, shoot, or anything, though I could still see what was going on outside. Heres a couple o' screenshots of what i saw:

Wow! Over 95% of your ship's hull is damaged (as indicated in red). Did you try /explode or /logoff? How'd you get out of it?

I logged off and logged back on. then i was outside the dock at 100%

Hmm, This doesn't make much sense, how do you get a negative health? From explosions? From laser hits? From bumping into things?
This one is going to be hard to duplicate.

Just go inside a dock, about 5m away from the back, then nuke yourself and dock as the explosion is just about to take health, undock and you see peices of your ship flying about and viola, your invisible with negatice hull

Let me try to explain it as well. it's simple to duplicate.
1) get a nuke (torpedo)
2) get indide the docking bay of the station so as soon as you hit enter, you dock
3) Fire a nuke into the back wall of the docking bay
4) as soon as it starts to explode, hit enter
5) Leave the station. anyone watching will see you explode, but you don't get sent back to the station. you sit there, invisable.

So... how about the 30k? i hit activate too late the 2nd time i tried to dupe it...

If he get 30k, I want 30k too :P
/exploding with a torp launcher is quit evpensive.
