Glitch or not: Tradelanes

[Ogris]

Can I go with both as an answer? It seems both a glitch and a valid tactic. Maybe unintended feature would be a better description though. Based on how tradelanes are supposed to work, it seems that disrupting the one behind you should cease to propel you, but it doesn't. And since it's clearly in the game that way, it's a valid tactic. I think if the entire game were redone with amazingly precise attention paid to details, though, it wouldn't be the case.

Regardless, if someone so much as looks at a lane, why aren't you shooting it out, rendering this not very useful?

Nope.

It's not a glitch unless it's an uninteded feature. It's quite intended that only the lane infront of you factors into lane travel; Therefore, not a glitch. Not much more to discuss here really... Apart from if you wan't to call it a cheap tactic, i say it's creative really, if someone has to run, he usually has a good reason, like thacker said, you out-foxed your enemy, brains are always better than superior firepower.

But really, if you want to prevent him from escaping, shoot the lane down yourself, if you're 3k back(outside of CD range), you aren't going to catch up to him if he's a half decent pilot so....
