Rejoin in Flight bug with WEP

[Nath[BDP]]

If I get kicked out of the game with WEP on, when I return in flight the WEP is fully used up.  At least in the 109.

I think they said they had that happen on purpose. You could run a search.

[Ack-Ack]

It's working as designed and not a bug.

Good to know. I thought it was a bug when it happened to me....

Not sure the logic behind it though.

Worse yet I disco'd one night and returned to find I was on fumes for fuel even though I had fuel when I disco'd.

To prevent abuse of WEP.

If the game knows how much ammo I have when I disco it seems odd it can't track my WEP usage similarly...   Again.  Not seeing the point.

[The Fugitive]

It is the way they coded it. It helps keep people from pulling the plug.

seems strange.  I know I don't care for when I disco with no icon in sight, come back, on flames surrounded by red icons...I just stay off when I disco anymore.

I see nothing strange in that. If I disco while using WEP, in my opinion it could be quite normal that the WEP will be used during the relogging time. Especially if I reboot the computer. After all, the game doesn't stop around the discoed plane, and the plane continues its travel with the same speed and direction. You can try this with WEP and autopilot. If you wish, you can even clock the time used to log into the game and then see how far you get with WEP in that time using autopilot. Also take into account that you may have used the WEP some already before the disco. Just my thoughts, not to be taken offensively.

Not true for certain members of the Alchemist's.  They pull the plug to exploit the "no visible icon while disco'd" bug.

Bail or disco when engaged.  That's their motto.  Too many of their kind to make the game worth playing any more.

Some things should just be reported to HTC instead of posted for the public.

In the spirit of Festivus, it was an Airing of Grievances.  And pointing out a bug/feature that is exploited.

On to the Feats of Strength.

Takes less than a minute to rejoin.  I should not lose five minutes of WEP for that.

That's true, unless you've used it for four minutes already in a situation where time flies without noticing. The rejoining time seems to vary depending on the rig and its settings.
