    Flying along all happy headed back to base, about 5 sectors to go, when i get a bit of lag, not too bad like 1k ping. could be a ton worse, oh well getting off soon anyway. get to the sector boundary, next sectory loads just fine, then BAM next sector, and i think "wow finially got to the speed of 100 its really fast" then BAM next sector, and i think "not that fast... weird" then BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM..... ..... BAM, BAM, BAM, BAMand now i am way past where i wanted to be, a total of 50 sectors past where i wanted to be. not the first time this has hapened, or the last. I know you are working on fixing this, but it is Driving me Insane, and i have lost many ships due to this. you keep jumping even when speed is 0, and it is (Usuially) in a striaght line.

    Fix #1.) Wait it out, it goes away even if it can take like 10 minutes (taking you over 600 sectors, jump about 1 sector a second, time varries)

    Fix #2.) Log Out right after you jump. (Not recomended, sometimes it thinks you jump a few more times after you have left. Even when your speed is 0)

    Fix? #3.) Not sure if it helps, but try to fly as fast as you can INTO the direction you keep teleporting into, trying to fly backwards seems to make it last longer.

    Please find a way to fix this bug, it dosen't matter what speed you are going i could be going 20 and get it, or 150 and get it, allthought it seems to happen more at higher speeds.

    What i think may cause it- It seems to happen with high lag, so i think that the server starts sending info for the next sector, but you are allready partuially throught the sector. It loads the sector concidering you to be at the start of the sector, and then when the server again can see where you are it thinks that you traveled very fast through the sector and are traveling at a speed like 1000km/s. it then thinks you should be in the next sector, and thinks you are still going that speed, so it takes you to the next one... and the next... I hope this helps in your troubleshooting and fixing of the bug.

    possible fix- change the coding so that it automaticaly thinks that you are going slowly/ if it detects that you have traveled 2 sectors in less than 5 seconds then it puts your speed to 0 back at the sector you started at. If the speed limit is really high then they should lower it, recomended not to be above 200 anyway.

    Hope i helped you fix this bug!

    It\'s not lag. It\'s happening at 50 speed when connecting to my localhost, at 0 ping.

    The detection of moving too many sectors in too short of a time would still work as a temporary fix either way.

    I have the same problem often on the server I play on, it seems to occur to me at the edge of a void / star system boundry and happens in ships, large and small, slow and fast. I even managed to tp 30 sectors while spacewalking back to my ship.
