50 Wormholes???

Post by i_never_existed »

So, I jump into someone's wormhole trying to save a little fuel, and jump right into what must have been 20 something pirates going nuts over the cops... ok. What else can a man do except... dive head in lasers blasting. Fine, until about 3 ships pull up on my rear and start blasting away. I was just thinking what to do when I remembered I had a galactic drive that I HAD to use to continue the constructor mission, so decided to go for that.

BIG MISTAKE.

As soon as I jump, all ok, a second later around 20 wormholes open, appearing with them around 50 ship... then another 20 wormholes with even MORE ships, and so on, and so on.

What happened? I had to force quit after around 20 seconds my map was just a haze of blue, red, and yellow. The program was almost at complete standstill.

BUT REALLY COOL TO WATCH, a real kodak moment.

Yes, maybe you found the elusive Easter egg! :shock:

Try to Gal-jump from the same planetary system, see what happens...

Thank you all, yeah was actually really cool... except the forcing quit thing.

I just installed snapzz, so will make a little .mov next time (IF) it happens.

Was so pretty, all those big blue holes..!

Wow, sounds sweet... except for the whole hardware thrashing deal of course.

Kinda reminiscent of one of those giant battle sequences from B5... :D

:D Why didn't you try a energy bomb, just before you froze?

Oh, wait, maybe you didn't even have one?
Or did it crash too fast?

tricky, but cool 8)
I am not worthy of thy presence! Now get out of here!
