I’m talking about crashing over asteroids that you should easily clear. I mean, I have successfully skimmed asteroids on afterburner a lot closer than some of my crashes (I’ll try to post a screenshot from practice later). Last night, I even crashed in open space. The most reasonable explanation I can come up with for the last part is that I was carrying the bomb and, when E-barrier triggered, the game dropped the bomb in front of me instead of behind me, but it still doesn’t explain the other ones.
I have noticed the wrecks before and I try to avoid them. I went to practice mode for the screenshot. I was even shooting at a target while going over the asteroid, I’m pretty sure I would have seen a wreck if it was in front of me. I even destroyed a bot in order to hit the wreck with my left side. I was TRYING to crash into it and it still took me 4-5 passes, the wreck has to be REALLY close to your cursor to do it. When I crashed in open space it was me +3 bots vs another pilot +3 bots, I doubt there were more than 2 kills total at that time. Also, the patch notes mention limiting speed to 600 and I was going 650 when the crashes happened, maybe that has something to do with it.
