Who said you need Ody to fly atmo?

[LernanRuss]

As some of you know, today there have been collision between two astral bodies - with one of them being atmospheric. As someone that doesn't have ody I've used it as an opportunity to fly above atmo globe via non-atmo collider. THX to Cannon for tipping all of us off of the event.

When you drive SRV, and you see mountains of the neighbour planet rushing at you - you know something is up.

Un-be-lievable. These game-breaking bugs in the planet engine still haven't been fixed!!
Uh, sorry, I meant: Nice pics!

 

[Nomen Luni]

Got some nice pics earlier too.

Look out, it's The kajigger of Gibraltar!

What happens when you hit the threshold where the bodies meet?

Well, I'm no expert, but I understand there's usually a lot of clawing grunting sweating, usually expletives about God and that sort of thing.

That is the stuff of legends: get pitted against the impossible and try anyway because you know it's a glitch so what's there to lose?

If you are interested I think I worked out what was going on. I was on the Atmospheric planet (2a) just getting some cool shots

But I noticed when I got close to the collision point I couldn't land because there was no Mass Lock. I moved away until I had it and then landed but when I disembarked from my ship I was floating in air. Relogged and my Ship disappeared but I was still there floating unable to move.

Logged out and when I logged back in an hour later I was floating in black, inside 2a, between the two planets. Relogged a couple of hours later and I was standing on the non atmospheric planet (2b), but my ship was still on 2a

Now comes the cool bit On 2b I was able to fly right up to where the collision was happening and I could land as I still had Mass Lock.

I think the atmospheric one was travelling around 300m/s away from me. I believe the non atmospheric seems to take preference in the collision. But as soon as you fly to the atmospheric one the mass lock disappears and you can't land. If you fly under the ground of the atmospheric planet you'll see the whole sphere of the non atmospheric one.
So on 2a you can't land within the drop out zone of 2b, I am guessing you need to be more than 50Km away from the collision point.

Hopefully that made some kind of sense

Awesome, now we need someone go by car or foot.
