Last night, I was playing in space with 2 friends, I had a ton of fun, everything was working fine, and I got a skill box.
I went to log on today, and I jumped into space to meet with a friend, then quickly noticed something VERY wrong.
The TIE's I was attacking were teleporting across the screen, zig-zagging everywhere. I moved my crosshair to lead one, and he changed directions completely, I tried to line it up again, and he zig zagged, and teleported across my screen, this whole thing went on for a couple minutes while I was trying to figure out what was going on.
When the TIE's weren't teleporting across my screen, and I actually did get a kill, I got no XP, and no, I wasn't maxed.
I eventually gave up because it got too nerve-racking, and went hunting with my friend on the ground for a bit.
I just tried again on my alt, that's a privateer. The NPC sends me above tatooine to finish the tier 1 quests to kill an Ace. I notice I'm still in my starter ship, and this guy is in a tier 2 ship, I think to myself, oh this will be fun. I come up to him, and start lining up my shots, the teleporting starts again, and he zig zags across my screen like the TIE's did. I eventually do get a hit on him, and it does no damage, at all. I try to attack one his posse and I can't damage them either.
I've just given up on space for tonight, playing up there is unbearable, and impossible.
Is anyone else having these same problems?

This happened sometimes in Beta. It might be a lag problem, or dropped packets. Are you modem, dsl, or cable?
Doing no damage is likely the top/bottom invulnerability bug. That's a real b###### of a bug.

I'm on cable. I just logged on tonight, to see if maybe it was fixed, and the problem is still there.
So, no space tonight either!! I love JTL

I'll bet it's just lag, and/or this invulnerable bug like I've been hearing. I don't have JTL yet,I can thank Amazon for that, but I do have a crappy internet connection and you should know that I deal with a lot of difficult problems with my game. I'm sure it's just a bit laggy. Also the game is brand new so it's obviously going to be buggy. I'd say just put your graphics quality down a bit and see if there's a difference. Hope that helps.
