Major Server Borkage 13-May-07 Thread
The thread for all the major borkage of the day!
We got bots everywhere, we got lag, we got framerate, we got loading deficiencies we got... pet SF (ok, can I keep him at least?)
A bit of addness I encountered first after finding a ton of heavy moths outside a station... I dropped 4 loads of conc mines next to them in an attempt to boom them against the station. After load 3, I was getting a low framerate (like 8fps), but at the end of load 4 my framerate had plummeted so low I was unable to fly (I was getting about 0.03FPS, or one frame every 30 seconds) I was stuck in the sector for a good 8 minutes like that until someone blew up my mines, and then framerate resumed as usual.
Then I started getting stuck in loading screens. It would take a minute or two to load a sector. I couldn't damage any moths with my jacks... they'd just explode and bounce them around, but not do any damage. And the SF would shoot me during the loading screens. A few times, my ship jumped without me when trying to leave a sector.
I also made a new friend. He is an Arena Seeker, and he came to me... I made him my pet, and I named him *Strike Force Essan Halick. He follows me around from sector to sector. Here's a picture of him:
Here is a video of my playing with him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErpLwuQOrFA

Heh, i remember my first pet SF, i kept him for ages, but then mr spuck or niki or some bastard killed it :'(
Had several since, but i'll never forget benny !!!!
[edit]
The explination for it sticking around is simple, you bumped on warp, and it thinks you damaged it. Its as fast as a seeker, but its not one, I always wondered why the devs put observers in the sf, maybe they spy on me.
