Well, a lot of times, collisions are bogus. I mean, when I'm flying straight in a fight with one guy who's below me, and he all at once inexplicably flies up into my belly and I get the collision, I really don't see any logic there. And to be perfectly honest, I think a lot of people know this, because I've been rammed several times in one session by the same people, and they always seem to come out unscathed.


As far as the arena limits go, I really see no problem. Sure, it's a pain when a particular arena cap is immediately lowered just as you're about to log on, but that's easily remedied by five minutes of "redialing", because the limit's going to rise again.

I guess I should run film on each and every flight so I can have recorded evidence of it happening. Even when I pull up, I somehow get the collision when an enemy pulls up into my belly.

Fruda, you are right, that sort of thing happens all the time... You just have to learn to squelch some of the static on this board.

I r TeH eBiL.

Edit: I find it amusing that people still cant grasp it. On your opponents front end he didn't hit you. He did his job and maintained separation, get over it.
I now return you to you previous scheduled whine.
Thank you.:D

your film would show the collision just as you think it happened, because the recorder is recording what happens on YOUR COMPUTER.

What you need is the film of the other guy. His would show what he saw on HIS COMPUTER, which would be a close miss, NOT a collision.
