I haven't seen any of this. I have the worst connection in the world (not really *that* bad) and frequently see every plane in sight disappear. First the little ID banners disappear, then the planes. It's my junky WinModem about to get round filed. But...

So far I've had good luck. With icon range pulled in like it is things happen pretty quick and enemies are on you pretty fast when you do see them. Still, I got two pretty smooth kills last night. They both wiggled a little bit to tease my gunnery, but it didn't work.

The WinModem caused me to disco, so I'll be easy on the fighter sorties, until I have a new modem.

I have seen some really bad warps (realizing it is my equipment at fault), but nothing like you describe. I have seen this before. Even what happened to WD. It's just lag.

I don't really know what could have caused it DB603. It seemed just as weird to us. None of it made any sense.

It definately wasn't lag since he shot you almost a whole sector away from where you were. Something was screwed up as far as packet data went. Ah.. the net giveth and the net taketh away

Somethings definitely porked with the manoevre kill code. I had 4 guys auger right next too me last night, nobody else for miles, no manoevre kills awarded at all. All of them were real close, ie under d700.

I only seem to get manoevre kills awarded if they're d1.5 away or greater.

I doubt the problem is net/packet related. Any bad packets get thrown away at various stages of the route.

It could have been a collision/kill? IE someone dove on you to fast and ended up hitting/killing you, and the kill system awarded it to whoever was closest.

He was being seen in the arena in two different places vulcan. He disappeared and was almost instantly on channel one asking what happened. We were on squad channel asking the same thing.
