Yep, that's absolutely possible.I was having fun with my mfrind on my yacht. My friend took controls of the ship so i decided to teach him a lesson. I pressed eject button... ***BOOM*** yacht blew up. We were still in space but near the space station.I decided to blow it up again. I pressed it.. saw " EJECTING!" message and.. loading screen. It appeared that my friend pressed "land at the sp" in the same time i pressed eject. So i load very fast and then i saw that THE WHOLE SP WAS ON FIRE and EXPLOSION and then i saw pieces of my yacht exploding!!! lol that was a surprise. My friend seen that too.


So here's the guide:

You need:

1.MP ship :yacht(requres no certificate for veterans or skill) Yt1300/decimator/Nova courier.

2.A friend that can pilot your ship(that's important).

3.Fast computer for quick loadings or you'll miss all the action.


You do:

1.You walk to the eject pod button and wait for command.

2.Your friend pilots your ship and arranging to land on a planet.

3.You push EJECT and your friend push Land(that final chat option with space station - it's "Thank you" or something) IN THE SAME TIME.


So good luck and let galaxy's starports BURN!

I recommend not using your other multiplayer ships because when you eject and your ship blows up, it gives u wounds, and decays your ship. Id stick with the yacht since theres no problem with decayed parts since u dont fight in it.

Didn't get screenies ,because was shocked and disorientated. Would be great if someone make some screenies and post it here. Yep, i think SoroSuub is optimal ship for this trick.

Did any one else in the SP see this?

If not it could be the overlay of the explosion just being stacked on top of the current enviroment AKA the SP.

camon someone has to have screenshots..




-I support a Galactic Civil War fought between regular, average players... Simply strict, hardlined Imperials & freedom lovin' Rebels fighting for control of the galaxy. A Galactic Civil War fought not with glowsticks or lightsabers, but with blasters, lances, and how much guts you have. A Galactic Civil War which reflects the timeline, the destruction of the Death Star, the absolute control which the Empire has and the brave Rebels trying to break up that reign... The extinction of all but a few rare and special Jedi. That my friends, is the Galactic Civil War and that is what we have to aim for.

If that's true then I wonder why that would happen. Perhaps some old or unfunctional code in the game where people's ships were going to land at Starports maybe.

Here's my theory on why this can happen. Go into space, and do the /target command on anyone. It will show their ship in the display. do /target self. You avatar, in straddle position, as if ridinga mount, is shown in the target display. Fly around someplace for a while and see if you see a light blue or purple dot on the radar. Get as close as you can without overshooting it (on radar). Then slow down, and move in as slowly as possible with it centered in radar. If you get close to it, you'll see a character floating in space, just standing there.


I think the ship is just a second "character" placed overtop of the first, and maybe there's just some weird time displacement going on in the transition from space to ground. Maybe in this case it was freak timing, or maybe there's an actual timed window between when a character physically is removed from the space zone and placed in the ground zone, or maybe the explosion is generated and maintained client-side in the current position of the player owning the craft, regardless of that player's server state.


Does that make any sense :-/?
