large ship hypers directly on top of YAH witchpoint "be

Post by CmdrLUke »

I bought a Python Class Cruiser the other day. I noticed while donig my favorite trade route (on steroids thanks to the PCC capacity!), that sometimes I would emerge from witchspace *directly* on top of the
YourAdHere witchpoint buoy. So that any movement whatsoever destroyed my ship. I couldn't hyper out because of being too close to the buoy. I finally tried shooting the damn thing when it rotated to be in front of my sites and that finally saved me.

Yup, this happens - the Screens are huge compared to the normal WSB, so it is possible that very close to a "buoy" puts you stupidly close to the screen, it's happened to me once before - but I managed to "yaw" the Cobby out of the way.
