Around 7:10pm (CST) April 24th many people in sector 9 became invulnerable. They could not be damaged except through collisions, they also were unable to dock. Attempting to jump to another sector resulted in ending up in the s9 station. Logging out and back in (sometimes multiple times) seemed to fix symptoms.

It happened right when Eldrad logged on to his Alex Rowe character. The first time l logged off, my invincibility wore off, but it would send me back to the station with every attempt to leave the sector via wormholes. So I had to log off twice before everything was resolved. Those who didn't log off remained invincible until they did so. Verbose logging revealed nothing unusual.

Actually every time you press the Activate Key you dock.
Found it after, uh, having fun with it for 5 minutes. =D

Interesting. Well, yes, sector 9 bombed (station inventory bug.. odd, never saw that one before..). The resulting unusual behavior is a disagreement between the server, the sector, and the clients.

3.4 will have sectors less prone to bombing out, and if they do, will disconnect clients to keep things in sync.

Was that why when you bought ships in s9 you couldn't select 'em?
