Just wanted to apologize.... >_<;

Was just a 'derp' moment earlier, combined with a moment where I was trying to help in the Undine Space Battleground map....

We'd easily cleared out the 3 Planet Killers and were having a field day on the Voth, when a large number of them suddenly popped in.

You'll remember that, sometimes, they'll use some ability where they can appear to cloak/stealth briefly, and when several of them did that, on pure instinct, I activated my Fleet Nebula Retrofit's 'Tachyon Detection Grid' ability, not only forgetting how many ships were nearby, but discovering that said ability also affects MINES, as well...I'm pretty sure I didn't crash anyone, but the lag spikes were a mess for a few players(although one joked about it).... :(

Again, I just wanna apologize for anyone I might've inconvenienced...I have GOT to pay a little more attention, next time....

*embarrassed*
When in doubt...Gravity Well TO THE FACE!! :D

    If the Neb's console affected enemy ships with lag, it'd be a hell of a lot more useful than the power it has now! :D

    You may have just announced to everyone a new way to Grief players with low powered graphic systems...

    If the lag I'm seeing in the battlezone is from TDG then everyone has one and is constantly using it.

    That zone -does- have lag issues, yeah....

    The console is still quite useful in PvE and stfs...primarily against KDF ships...; had a few instances where we couldn't find a few sneaky ones...so I spaced everyone out, popped the Grid, and suddenly, the KDF ships popped out of nowhere, well within firing range...; I've also interrupted Donatra's 'Super Cloak' a few times in a certain stf, but that one only seems to work with some pinpoint timing, and I haven't QUITE figured out the cut-off window for it! :)

    Thank you for this useful information. I shall hit the space warzone and verify this, over and over again.:D

    When I was grinding the last FE, during the ESD part,I was hoping not to have the nebula NPC. Not only it was useless (undines can't cloak), but it was a FPS drop several time during the mission.

    The worst place I have had the unfortunate pleasure of it being used is the 20 man fleet stf. Some people are just jerks.

    Kudos to you op for making the post.

    *points finger* YOU!
    Na just kidding :) I did have someone pop one off at the end when the voth fleet showed, and yeah I didn't see anything for a good 30secs except the occasional frame lol! But was all good, by the end of it I only had a lil damage from a core breach. In the end all asses were kicked, and many marks were gained on that instance, so all good :)
    Probably wasn't you op but I also have a fleet nebula and had a simillar "aww man why did I do that?" Moment on starbase 24 some time ago.

    Wouldn't worry about it, really. Lag in Undine zone is caused by too many ships/elements being on the field (server-side), and not really by your graphics card. I have a GTX 580, and still get only like 5fps as some moments (usually when Voth spawn, at the end).

    I feel even worse about this now, than I did when it originally happened.... :(

    If I gave some less-scrupulous players the idea to do this to troll others, I'm gonna have to live with the guilt of it...out of respect to those who've been a good sport about this, and in an attempt to nip this thing in the bud before it can get worse, I'm tempted to delete the thread...good idea?

    For me, the new Undine ability is just as bad for me. My graphics card hates when I get into the middle of it...

    I used to play the game on medium fine, and now I experience lag on low.

    Yeah the lag is universal. I only did VC once, and i am trying to gather enough valor to do it again. Basically i was floating in the space looking how everything exploded and how the planet killers exploded. I coudnt do anything more due to the excesive lag (50+ships at the same time). I dont even know if i actually hit something. But since there were about 5-6 scimitars already, i didnt worry. Team game ^^ :D

    Sorry, but I think it's going to lag with or without you here. :P

    So it WAS you;)

    I did comment on it in open channel after it happened.

    No problem. No harm no foul. My post seems to have touched off some issues in the humourless and grossly defensive.

    Having said that, I've now cut back to one monitor, dropped a few of the high res options and preloaded my nebby with the console to test this on others. JK of course.

    I couldn't read if your reply in your thread was serious or not...primarily as I have Aspergers Synrome(a.k.a. High-Functioning Autism)...which is why I initially panicked.... :(

    I'm glad everything's o.k., though...it nearly got me too, as I had a slide show for a few seconds! :)
