Wow, slingshot?

Okay, so in s10 there is a secret station. Me and my friend went there and when we both undocked at the same time, I appeared inside of his ship and it ran at 1fps for about 3 seconds, and then I was in the middle of nowhere rocketing along at 1700000000m/s and falling, as if I had turbod to that speed. No exaggeration. Now i'm impossibly far from the warp gates in s10. A bug and a problem for me, because I can't get anywhere.

another note is that I can't recieve messages nor send them, but I can type them. I'm not sure if people are seeing them though.

EDIT: Screenshot of after this happened, and me in the middle of nowhere. The split that you see on the top there isn't actually there, it's just a weird bug with the Mac OS X screenshot and fullscreen on this thing. http://64.168.240.108/nowhere.png

Another 300,000 meters and you'd be disconnected and /exploded. :-P

Sherman, to take screenshots in Mac0SX, don't use shift-command-3. Use F12. It will dump the picture to the Vendetta directory, which you access by selecting Vendetta, and then control- or right-clicking Vendetta and clicking "show package contents."

Yeah, there's a problem with spawning on top of other people. In Quake, it killed the person who was already there, aka telefragging. I guess that's something we should make work.

How do you get DirectX8.1?

There is no DirectX8.1 for MacOS X.
