Cobra exploding on Hyper Jump

[Paulo_B27]

Hi all,
My Cobra keeps exploding when I hyperspace jump, meaning I get a death on my record, and have to pay the £3k to rebuy my ship.

This issue didn't happen in the Sidewinder.

Am I doing something wrong (like over heating the ship), or is this a bug?

Thanks.

Paul.

Try not moving and hyperspace. If you are at the station there is an invisible wall bug. If you aren't moving (faster in the Cobra, of course) you won't run into it.

Thanks

Riggggghhhhtttt! I see. Yes - always out of the station.

Thanks - will give that a go

It's a known bug, no need to report it.
..or the control-alt-del/task manager closing client bug to avoid paying insurance fees if you die.

Giving full info of the situation helps But Stu did guess it right

Go 6k from the station dead ahead and you'll bonk in to a wall

It's a known bug, but please DO report it. FD rely on us reporting it to grade the frequency and severity of the problems.

Also - don't do the three fingered salute - this contributes to all the problems by causing one P2P client to disconnect in the most ungentlemanly manner.

I believe theres a recall for that model at the moment.

The devs 'accidently' swapped the self-destruct button with the hyperjump button in some cobras.

Personally, I think its a remnant of an old FD in-house joke. The story was they used to all sit around and laugh as each brand new cobra exploded within minutes of purchase. Then when Dave walked in to see what all the fuss was about, they would just point a FFE youtube video.

So mean.
