i think the issue has been made before but because its realy stupid im making a new one.
first of i didnt make a ticket, dont know how, all i know is that its to complicated.(make ticket, write down number of ticket, make forum post with ticket number or something like that) so this is what happened. we on a cap and hold and both teams doing massively good. nice dps and very good healing. both teams were somewhat over geared toward healing, the fight dragged on. i saw numerous fotonic shock waves, gravity wells and wot not. so at around mid score say like blue 6 red 8 all of a sudden i come to a standstill. nothing works. i use everything i have in my arsenal, ET, ST, EM juice the engines, nothing. the only thing that after a while did seem to work was going to full impuls. now this is where it got weird. when at full impulls my max speed is flickering very fast from around 68kph to 71kph up and down up and down very fast. i finaly reach my team, throw out a heal fire couple weapons and get pulled back very fast to where i was. after another 5 minutes of this, i just left the map. even 4vs5 my team was doing prety well and this could have gone about for at least another 10min.
Congratulations! YOu just described lag and rubber banding. The fix is simple..your v id card needs to be dialed down or updated drivers wise, or it was a lag spike due to your local isp or cryptics server/your router not getting alone. I'd bet money you never actually landed a shot or heal on an en enemy. the animation may have played on your screen,but if u were lagged or mid disconnecting briefly and not quite, it would still do that. It also explains the impulse fluxes u talk of- lag spikes will skip frames at random, and your ui displays will seem erratic. your "black hole"that made u not move? again..lag. freezing as the server issue was trying to be worked out by your system and connection. No mystery bug here.
sory to disapoint you but you are completly wrong. this was most definatly no lag issue. heals i did made landed on target. i know what rubberbanding is like, this was most definatly not the case. the only thing it felt like was that i was being pulled at with a certain force that normal engines and all buffs just not could overcome. the power of full impulse overcame the pulling effect so i could move out, but i was still being pulled back. as soon as i disengaged my full impuls i started getting back to the point i started from. increasing in speed all the while im heading towards that point. i watched my ship go over 190kph reverse.

Congratulations! You just made yourself look like an idiot. There is a bug with Gravity Well where it will continually pull you back to where it was fired long after it has disappeared. I've had it happen to me in both PvE and PvP and the only 'fix' is to have your ship blown up or change map. It's a very nasty bug because you're trapped by nothing and unless you know about it you might think something you did caused it.
Aye this sounds like a bug to do with gravity well I think.
I had it happen to me the other night for the first time! I was in a dog fight on salvage when a load of his friends turned up to gank me. They threw everything at me including gravity well, but I just managed to evade in time and before they knew it I was about 20k out, but then to my horror I was dragged back slowly towards the fedball where I was eventually swatted.
This is not your typical rubber banding lag spike! To my knowledge the only way around this is to die and respawn
LoL, take it easy on him. I experienced this exact same thing a couple of weeks ago and didn't find out that Gravity Well was the cause until just recently myself. Kinda feel bad that I used to spam the hell out of if in my BoP.
Even though it's becoming common place, it's still hard to believe that significant portions of the game play can go bugged for so long without any fix.

That's awesome and should be an actual power ... not a bug.
This bug is in since beta ,its not only Gravity Well but also Tyrkens Rift. 1 GW/TR tractors you back for 5-8 Speed (did some tests 2 months ago or so and it was like 1/4 of standard impulse speed that i did loose). Nasty if you get hit multiple times during a fight as they stack up ...once i coulndt even get away with full impulse anymore.
But well ,these stuff was reported a long time ago but to no result.
I had this bug, but dying and respawning didn't work for me. Only after the game ended did I not drift inexorably towards the place I died near the start of the game... It was kinda cool cos I could strafe enemies like in FPSs and it gave me wicked "stationary" turn rates, but also kinda annoying cos I couldn't stop moving...
This is highly noticeable in Terradome. I kept fighting after 5 black holes were shoved on me before I finally could not move at all. Before the full stop, my ship flew oddly as its being tugged in different directions and so on while trying to go straight.

Yeah, the description sounds like the "gravity bug". I've even seen this against PvE mobs that use those abilities, where my ship is suddenly sliding sideways afterwards to the gravity point.

I'm sending notes home to both of your parents stating that you don't play nice with others!!!

I think you do fine without it..!
