konstantine Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I was just playing on the Judas Reach server, the icefields scenario, as a Shrike, and while I was navigating a patch of ice this happened: I was suddenly transported hundreds of meters above the surface and landed only to suffer gun damage (as though I rolled over). edit: looks like someone decided to take me for an impromptu aerial tour of the battlefield.

Drusus Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Stupid question, but was there somebody playing with the trasport. My Apollo once went to moon that way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konstantine Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 I don't know, maybe I suppose--I haven't seen or experienced a transport in action. I had just dropped and dropships were blowing up all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 There are guys that are flying around transports picking up unsuspecting vehilces taking off and flinging them. This might have happened to you. I'd suggest contacting the local authorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abidubi Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Lol that would be me But I'm positive he would have seen the cable if he were picked up. It takes a few seconds to get any momentum and everyone I have picked up have at least tryed to shoot me... to no success But don't wory, I usually find myself upside down anyway And on a related note, I did notice that when picking up hovercraft, you go out of control and wierd stuff happens.

Iceman[USA] Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I can't seem to have any luck flying those things. Either don't go anywhere, or get shot down I can't figure out how to ajust height/speed. Maybe if the devs have a learning session, that should be something discussed... and IRT Konstantine- Sounds like you found the hidden rocket boosters on your craft That big red button? Don't press it Sorry... couldn't resist.. Probably someone messin with the transport craft. Might not have even known they were doing it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yllamana Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I swear I saw a buggy fall *through* the world on that map and kill himself. It was a bot, I think, and he drove into a little dip in the ground, then his IFF triangle just kept going down and down until the message that he killed himself appeared. Maybe I was mistaken and something else happened, but it was really bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedYama Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Amen to that Abidubi! I was parked in a hurricane shelling a base on the ice fields map, a friendly Viper came by and attached. We then proceeded to spin about in a most crazy fashion, I got flung up to the top of the skybox, but somehow landed with no damage. Another funny bug with the tempest/hurricane is simply holding forward and a turn key. You'll spin like a helo blade, and if you manage to hit off a slope you can catch quite a lot of air. More often than not you end up on your turret, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konstantine Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 changed subject heading to reflect this disturbing and clearly illegal misuse of transports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
