Shooting myself!? Clone ship? WTF?!

Post by CmdrLUke »

I was happily plowing through some nasty pirates, when I lined my sites up on a MkIII. Hey, pretty colors I thought. Then I started shooting it, and every time I hit it, I heard an extra sound like someone was shooting me. After my shields were down and my equipment was taking damage, I figured out that I was shooting my own ship! Somehow the pirate ship got linked to my ship, so that every time I hit it *I* took damage.

Has anyone else encountered this?

The only thing I've changed recently is installed long_way_around, and started the mission

Can't think of a good club name yet.
The "Shooting My Own Ass" club just doesn't cut it. :D

The magnetised iron ass club?

Of course being English that does of course mean you've got a metal donkey... :twisted:

yes the targetting system did not provide the square corners when this happened.
