Come on guys this is a bug report forum.
If you wanna discuss it please do it on the proper forums and save the dev guys the time to get through all the posts here.
@Zapp: What are your connection stats? It may be triggered by high loss/lag.
Zeltak is just joking around. (Or at least, that is what I am led to believe.)
Anyway, it happens a lot on the camera ship. (You have no idea how lovely it is when you are helping a new player and suddenly you blow up and have to answer the divided by zero questions they ask.)
The barge blows up if hostiles in light fighters (particularly Gaians, Xenos in starfleas or Nomads) attack it in numbers of four or greater. They make a beeline for its center section and "glue" themselves there and then other ships hit the ends and spin you like a carousel. I've blown up three times total but fortunately am not usually out in those scenarios now. No--I didn't speed mod the barge;)Putting a couple of fighter gun mounts so some missles could be launched on the end of th barge would help it "shoo" the "gluers" away as it can't fire onto its own surface below where they "stick".
Any cap ships out there ever blown up from snapping free of a rock in cruise or from an npc ram?
