Hey all,
Thought I'd share our somewhat odd experiences last night.
A friend and I have just gotten back into the game recently. We've been meeting up in Fong and doing some Res bounty hunting stuff. Basically, we follow the feds around in our mildly tuned Imperial Eagles and do what damage we can. It's been fun and has been getting us back into combat without too much risk thanks to said feds. We've had a few sessions like this so far - just and hour or so usually - and things have gone well.
However, last night things were distinctly glitchy. Firstly, our usually very nimble Imperial Eagles felt like they were flying through treacle much of the time, their turn-rate seemed dire. Secondly, about 50% of the time, we'd be attacking a Wanted NPC only to have them insta-warp up to 3km away all of a sudden. It was quite frustrating to have brought down an NPC's shields and be working on his hull only to have him suddenly out of range. All in all, a very glitchy experience.
From our side, nothing has changed. My internet isn't the best, but it's coped fine before and this is the first session we've had problems. I'd previously been in-game in my Type 7 doing the odd passenger run and had no problems, though I wasn't in any combat.
Throughout the weirdness, my friend and I didn't notice any instances of us warping about or anything, it only ever appeared to be the wanted NPC we were currently targetting. However, he did vanish for a moment mid-fight at one point, then come back. I know he's playing over Wireless, so possibly that's a problem? Not that it had been until this particular session mind.
Anyway, thought I'd share as we've not experienced these two odd issues before. To summarise, the issues were:
1) Our Imperial Eagles were behaving very sluggishly and turning was slow. Straight-line speed seemed fine however.
2) Frequently the Wanted NPC's we were attacking would insta-warp up to 3 km away.
As an aside, we did attack a couple of Imperial Eagles who were wanted, and they too seemed very sluggish where usually they're a little tricky to keep a bead on.
So, the warping issue I can perhaps attribute to some server sync thing. The sluggish Imperial Eagles though has me stumped. The funny thing is, having just switched from my Type 7, the Eagle felt super-twitchy by comparison when I left the dock. Only once in combat did it have issues. It felt like I was trying to turn at zero throttle, yet I was right in the blue.
Scoob.

So, I suspect it's all his fault lol.
