If I'm not in game doing the usual hunting, mining or decorating my estates, Then I'm running around trying to find game glitches and bugs or ways to create them, Firstly for laughs and my own enjoyment, Secondly for MindArk, So once glitches and bugs are found and reported MindArk can fix them, One day, When they get around to it lol.
Seems you're very busy in EU and 'estates' tells me you're somehow making the game work for you. As to game glitches and bugs, lately they seem to be finding me. Such as about a week ago when a dead exo killed me just as I was about to loot it lol. So there's me thinking how can you be retired by a dead mob!
One of the many glitches that haven't been fixed, "Ghost Mobs" encountering Ghost Mobs is fairly frequent and it's actually easy to cause this glitch to happen, I found a way to make it accrue with a 60% accuracy, Purely by accident. I like to hunt fast, aggressive Mobs, Merps, Atrax, Atrox, Argonauts ect, What I will do is run around a location where any of these particular Mobs are found "Atrax for example" and get them to chase my avatar, My avatar can out run most all Mobs, So it's easy to stay ahead of the collected horde without getting hit, When I have collected about 80 or more Mobs I will stop, Let the Mobs surround my avatar, Then open fire with the Mini-Sweeper. My avatar has very high health, Evade and my avatars armor soaks up all the hits usually with minimal decay, If I do this for an hour or more there is a 60% probability that "Ghost Mobs" will appear after killing a huge horde, I will keep getting hit even though there are zero Mobs, To stop getting hit I just use my TP chip and teleport somewhere, Stopping the Ghost Mobs from hitting my avatar or in the very rare occasions that technique doesn't work because of persistent ghosts, hell bent on haunting I just do a quick relog. I personally believe this problem is caused because of the glitchy Cryengine2 engine architecture, The Entropia Universe Planet Development Kit 'EUPDK" is built upon this same architecture and carries over all the same fundamental problems, Though let me be clear, It's just a theory as my skill set is not coding, But having used the Cryengine2/EUPDK extensively I have a strong suspicion that programing architecture is the issue, And if so the issue would be near impossible to fix, Given the Cryengine2 is a glitch filled mess to begine with, Bring on Unreal Engine5.
I get the most entertainment I can from the game, EU is like a sponge I'm twisting to squeeze dry, Every little drop of entertainment is coming out guaranteed.
That could explain it. I must have been hit by a ghost mob, or an invisible one and not by the one I was about to loot. I like your tactic with the mini-sweeper which I don't have yet, so might look it up in auction to see if I'm skilled enough for it.One of the many glitches that haven't been fixed, "Ghost Mobs" encountering Ghost Mobs is fairly frequent and it's actually easy to cause this glitch to happen, I found a way to make it accrue with a 60% accuracy, Purely by accident.

Technically you were hit by the mob you were about to loot, Due to the weird "ghost mob" glitch, Or maybe the damage was sustained from a mob you killed earlier that became a ghost mob, It's hard to be exactly sure.
I don't own many guns, But the guns I do own are kickers! meaning they are very good at what they do, Killing stuff! But they are somewhat expensive to buy, The Mini-Sweeper is rare and there are a few variations of it, Even a limited version. I have had my Mini-Sweeper for about 14 years I think?, I honestly can't remember if I bought it off the auction or off a independent seller? The Mini-Sweeper is my favourite gun in my collection I use it for most everything even those nasty little cockroaches that infest my Hangar, I would highly recommend getting one if you can, The gun will serve you well, I took a screen shot of my Mini-Sweeper's stats without enhancers attached, for your convenience.
That's the conclusion MA support eventually came to and they compensated me for some of the ammo I used up, so they were fairly decent about it.
Heck, that's some shooter with penetration 41 and impact 4, and unlimited as well! Those stats tells me I have to skill some more to use it effectively, although that's just a guess as I didn't see one in auction earlier. Instead I got one that I'm maxed-out on that has burn 20 and pen 8 iirc. It makes a powering-up sound when you select it.I don't own many guns, But the guns I do own are kickers! meaning they are very good at what they do, Killing stuff!

That's great! good on you MindArk.
Yeah I must have done or said something they liked, which was a first.That's great! good on you MindArk.
Yes, It certainly did, Not much that can be said about a Hangar estate that hasn't already been said, I guess.
Interesting, You are clearly getting the most out of the vacuumous, Somewhat non functional space a Hangar provides.
That's a lot of AVs. MA's servers must have been more capable then than now to have so many ppl in the same place.
I miss being able to put things on the ground... FUMA
You could put things on the ground!? If you could do that now you could display things in front of ppl and give a sales pitch in the open chat.
Yes, but only if you have an estate, so you're still relying on visitors. That's not the same as being able to place things on the ground anywhere.
This isn't about visitors putting things down inside an estate, but anywhere on the ground outside an estate.
Yeh and if you believe that (strain...) reality was more likely that MA simply didn't want to optimise stuff.
