What the heck was THIS ?

[Olham]

First, I want to say, that I have recently warped several times, with good results.

Crew was always there, plane positioned right.

 

But just that last flight, I came out of the warp, still on own territory.

So, I pressed "X" again.

That warp was interrupted, due to enemies near. Alright so far.

But this time,my plane stood almost headover. So I cut back throttle, to put her right again.

Then I performed a half turn, as the enemies were now behind us, and began to climb

towards them. After half a minute, I heard a terrible cracking noise, and screen turned red!

I had just looked around and on the TAC: my wingies were further behind me, and the

enemies had just appeared at the outer ring of the TAC.

No other plane was near me at all!

Now, my best pilot is killed, and I can't say, how?

Anyone else had this to happen?

 

And what exactly must I do, to resurrect the poor bloke?

Go here:

Look for "pilot dossier" (with the number of the pilot, you may have to check through all numbered dossiers to find the correct one). Look for the line that says Deceased and change it to In Service. I think you will also have to change one other of his files so that the logbook entry (text) doesn't say about him being dead.

Okay, thanks, Siggi - will have a look tomorrow at that.

 

Oh, and I forgot to mention in the above: there was NO AA activity, when it happened.

I think I'd take AA over a wormhole any day.

[Olham]

Very encouraging indeed, UncleAl. Thanks!

Bird strike.

Well, in this case, I made an exception and ressurected him; thanks, Siggi!

Although I'd prefer to say, rescued him. (Zombies don't smell good...)
