Pitchfork and I have found that sector ten is becoming a pain in the butt to get to, and that the sector daemon may possibly be unstable. You have to sit in the loading window for several minutes, then log out and try another character. until you get in. Once that occurs all of your chars can get in. Some players have found that there is nothing wrong, but the effect appears to be random. Disconnection after being stuck in loading screen drops you where you attempted to go through the wormhole with all items intact.

please avoid sc10 if you can.

i saw some one having this probelm, although he was comming to sectoer 9. Now, i know he had this problem because he was showing on the screen that he is in the sectoer (the 'u' button) but only after like, 5 minutes, i saw him show from a worm hole. now, i think he came from sector 10, but i dont remember...

Maybe this is that "wormhole instability" people asked for. Maybe an avalon went off in the warp area. Maybe a player was hit with an avalon while warping.... :-\

no, cause sc10 is a normal sector...
I think the sector daemon is just a bit outta whack, that's all.

I haven't had this problem, but it's interesting that you and Pitchfork both have. Do you have similar connections or systems?

nope, he has windows, I have mac. other ppl have commented on it ingame too since I posted this, so I repeat what I said. STEER CLEAR OF SECTOR 10!

I had it happen too. But when I hit esc the background and asteroids show up. You can zoom and change your fov, but you can't /explode or fire weapons. I logged out and came back in the 10 wormhole in sector 7.

we've been having sectors crash a lot lately. We're trying to figure it out.
Also, if you try entering a sector and it doesn't work, that means we need to restart that sector. Or if you feel adventurous, if two people try connecting at exactly the same time I think the second person will get in successfully, and then everyone else can get in as long as there's someone in the sector. The moment the last person leaves, the sector locks everyone out again. This bug has been fixed but isn't in production yet.

You have to admit it does provide for a nice "instable wormhole" excuse...

And works some interesting strategies.

I cornered a guy in 15 and camped near the 16 wormhole, and he had to get through me to get out, since 10 was finicky. :-D

Why can't this happen to the 18-17 gate?
