Cruise Speed Bug!

[HunterKiller]

Ok, this is getting me ticked off in a bad way. Twice in less than 24 hrs. and since I've finally got back on the server, (oh by the way, the enhancers are working great and not getting blown off after a couple of hits now, gj) I've lost too much bought and fought for equipment already due to this;



I had 10mill invested in equipment I was bringing back to NY to store for a new char. I was not exceeding any cruise limit! I was coming in line with docking at Pacifica Base when this happened, not cruising at all. Docking to sell the loot I got off of the Lonestar ship in the Bering system. Earlier in the morning, last night, I was in Alenandria, fighting Hostiles and no cruise was being used then either and it happened just the same.

Do you know how long it takes to make 10million credits on this server? A very looooooooooooooooooong time.

Equipment lost today;
1 Nomad Titanium Armor - FP-7 - $7,600,000
1 Carbon-Alloy Aromor -  FP-7 - $1,712,000
1 Capacity Enhancer SR-3 - 1 mill FP-7
1 Power Enhancer CR-3 - 500mill
1 Monkey Shield - $520,000 - Battleship Osiris - Nomad 1
1 Advanced Thruster
1 Deep Scanner MKII

(not to include full loads of, Adv. Counter Measures, Bat&Bots, Rippers Mines, Hornet Missiles.)

Losing all this is fine during a PvP or, when doing missions but, in those cases, I wouldn't have had all that equipment on me if I could help it. However, losing it in the case above in pure nonsense. This doesn't even include last nights losses. Nor does it include the misc items I had from fighting Nomads; guns/thrusters & more.

This issue needs to be taken care of. I don't need this unexpected happening to be happening whenever I got equipment in my ship that was hard earned to just go up in smoke for some glitch in the mod/server or, in whatever server operator is being used.

Please fix this problem for everyone.

Thank you,

*note to poster: i think all the enhancers lvl 3 are 500k each, not 1 mill*

What i experienced myself is that this can happen while having lag. I guess (and this is wild guessing, i have no clue where i am talking about in this case) the server sees the difference in distance, but is missing the difference in time due to lag. Do the simple math distance/time, shorten time due to lag, and you go to fast. What i typically do when having red lag is stopping all my engines and wait. Not sure whether this helps you, or applies to you at all.

About 20 minutes doing the NB to NT run mate

@ ItisI you are correct, it is due to lag and the system not being able to do the maths correctly.

@ Flight Captian.
I wasn't having any lag issues. My ping is 157 and 0% loss on this server and I've not experienced any lag here at all. I come form a server where my ping for it is 73 with 0% loss and get all sorts of lag. If I'm docking at a base and explode because of exceeding my cruise speed limit, that's not because of me. I'm sitting almost still and the base is pulling me into it, I'm not flying the ship at all. It's got to be a glitch somewhere. I just done a fresh install of everything including the mod manager just to hop back on this server. It's not my install causing it either. I have no idea where this sever is located but, I am from the USA. I never had this problem the last time I was on it.

@ Vansen
That's good for you but, that's not what I've had to do to earn mine and I don't have a ship that can make that run in that time to make that kind of money sorry but, it takes me longer than 20 minutes to make mine. I make most of my money killing NPC's and selling the equipment and any other items I can scrap from them. When I do make enough to upgrade my ships, I'm not happy when losing it in this sort of manner. I'd rather a player run up on me and kill me first than to lose it like this when it's no fault of my own. Then that's on me for being so stupid trying to carry it on a long trip back to store it. This is not the case and my money was harder to come by and I earned it that way. When I do trade in my little freighter, the NPC's over power it and I lose again all unmounted items and that's no fun either but, I keep going. The constant rebuying it all depletes what I've earn at a faster rate than buying new equipment with it. That's a matter of numbers as well. No profit being made whatsoever and going deeper in the hole when trying to come up. I think that the regens are double in price here and that makes it even more costly when having to replace those all the time.

What's the sense in even trying to come up so I can be outfitted as well as the next man if and when I may want to challenge one of them in a fight or, try to join in on the Events here when you have them if this is going to keep happening to me? I'm not going to spend all my time earning something for it to be blown to bits all the time. If that's the case, my time and effort here is wasted altogether, isn't it?

One thing more, if I lag on a server, I leave it and there's no coming back. I don't like lag at anytime. If I can't kill and NPC because of too much lag, I just go that's all there is to it.

If this is all my fault then, I guess I need to go, it's not worth my time trying to come up just to lose it like this.

Thanks for always holding on to my characters in the past but, since this is the case and I'm at fault then, I may as well deactivate the mod and look elsewhere.

didnt mean any offence mate, that run is dead simple to do

From start char...

-Buy a triceratops from cordelia in NY and trade light arms from trenton to manhattan till you have 1.4 mill, this doesnt take long.

-get the junker bribe from rochester station in NY.

-get the zoner bribe from ames station in keppler.

-shoot 2 of the bounty hunter canisters from one of their storage depots at deshima station in shikoku.

-your now nuetral to everyone except nomads, pirates and fugitives.

-buy an AT from planet selucia in babylonia (set your waypoint direct to arakha base so you dont go the long way round and if the nomads attack then just fly up with CMs on auto and straife alot)

-get the rhienland police bribe from planet NB.

-trade diamonds from planet NB to planet NT.

-trade niobium from planet NT to the ring in NB

-fly empty from the ring to planet NB...rinse and repeat.

In a few hours from a new char, you will be trading for easy cash

[TheLaughingMan]

Within 2-3 hour you can visit all the vanilla wrecks and that must be enough for a trader ship and if you know the bonus ones aswell then you can get almost every possible stuff.
Rhino for the house syystems then you can buy whatever ship you want.
