That Teradon singlehandedly de-shielded our HAC and brought it down to 38% hull before it wiggled its way out...

Just now aborted a skirmish, the oddness of the teradon spawning inside the HAC took place to both the serco and Itani sides.

Might know why / how this is happening. During the 1800GMT border skirmish I saw a trident simply appear, no warp in animation no spawn and slowly coast to a halt. It simply appeared from nothingness. Only noticed it because I happened to be looking at where the trident happened to appear at the time. This is the second time I actually see this occur, first time I thought it was merely a fluke. If all the capital ships including the teradon are doing this then that could explain why they are consistently spawning within the HACs.

Yes, cap ships don't appear to be jumping in but rather spawning instantly; I've noticed this for awhile now. However, as of 10 March, Teradons are no longer spawning inside of HACs so it's more of an aesthetic/immersion issue again.

EDIT: The reason why I took notice is that I died after ramming a Trident that suddenly popped into existence in front of me. Good times.

I made it less likely for the Teradon to spawn inside the HAC, a couple days ago, as Daare noticed. A few minutes ago, I released some patches, which, among other things, should *really* prevent the caps from spawning on top of each other in general. And yes, they do just appear; it's currently a worthwhile trade-off to start and keep them in predictable positions.
