A bit earlier I was playing the TBR extension, and I raided a Charon Stronghold. A Corsair-II fired a longbow in front of me, and I blocked/destroyed it with a missile, or was it the Foxtrot x1 mass driver? Is it usually possible to do this? Should it be counted as a kill in some description, awarding points? Has anyone else done something like this?

 Weapon projectile interaction is very much a thing, yes, though also very much less of a thing than it used to be (with the exception of dedicated PD devices). Earlier versions of the game had projectiles much more likely to collide, to the point that both Aury and I were using it as part of the balancing strategy for TSB and TBR. It shouldn’t be counted as a kill, though.

Of all the things I’ve lost in life, I miss my mind the least. (I’m having a lot more fun without it!)

George has been sick earlier this week and has not had a chance to look at it, but it is a known issue. This isn't really the place to post about server troubles though, use: viewforum.php?f=28 instead

Ok. Seems to be working now. IDK why earlier.
