Sinking 100 in a row is not easy, but we have done it several times. As far as I know, most bugs and glitches are fixed in svs, see an undead glitch (unlimited ammo) every now and then, but that seems to be it. We dont allow it on our ships at all, most accuse us of cheating anyway, sure dont need to give them more to gripe about. There are four or five ships that dominate svs in general, all have good captains, who have figured out what works, and cannoneers that have done the same.

As far as not taking damage, we've seen ships that appear to not take damage several times, but usually the lag appears to be the source of the problem. They go from full health to dead in a split second. Thats the server lag, we just keep shooting, and when it catches up, it usually gives you the damage done. I really dont know how they could ever fix the lag, unless all players were playing on the same ISP speeds. My connection is a little slower than the players blessed with Cable or T1 connections, and there is no way it could be solved unless we were all directed to servers based on our connection speed.
