Ion storm jump animations

Sep 06, 2012 Samwise9 link
It's possible to run into asteroids during your jump animations in ion storms, causing you to rather amusingly spin off.

Yeah, you don't take any damage either. It's pretty hilarious sometimes.

Not a bug.

Pardon?

Probably should've mentioned the jump still completes despite your ship being nowhere near where the portal was created.

That doesn't make it a bug. The jump completes after a set amount of time as long as your ship exists.

That's just poor flight skills, not bugginess. If you don't want to bump into a roid, make sure you have clear space in your direction of motion before jumping.

Be happy it magically doesn't damage you. If I were a dev that would not be the case ;)

I kind of like turbo'ing straight at a 'roid in an ion storm, hoping I reach the jump point first. I can almost hear Doc say "one point twenty-one gigawatts!" in the background.

If somebody warps while at 39 m/s, the game should play an alternate warp animation that leaves flaming tire tracks instead of the portal effect.
