600 speed drifting

(1/2) > >>

Tackywheat1:
I was having some fun with plasma burn on the shrike when I got sandwiched between a Paragon and a Apogee. I tried to plasma drive out but accidentally bounced off of the Paragon's shields and flamed out at 600+ speed. By the time engines were repaired I had drifted from one end of the tactical map to the other. Is this an intended feature?

Same thing happened to my XIV Legion. I burndrived into a friendly ship (also a Paragon) and drifted right in front of a Radiant

TaLaR:
Well, it's obviously nonsense, but not a bug either. Plasma Burn and Burn Drive ships are really prone to pinballing like that.

Would make more sense if any time your engines are disabled max speed was reset to default maximum.

I'll just say that I could certainly do that, but I'm choosing not to :)

Plantissue:
One time I was fighting a battle and two spinning Onslaught wreckages went flying across my screen. I have no idea how that happened.

Goumindong:
I do this sometimes intentionally to disengage stations with odyssey. Ram the station with plasma burn, overload the shields and flame out and spin off the end of the map faster than the stations projectiles can keep up with you.
