    Hello @PGombi75

    The hit detection in the starfighters is sometimes really bad. If you fly close to a wall it will register a hit and make you instantly die, no matter what health. (I hope to see this fixed sometime).

    Before anyone mentions that you were lagging while recording the video, please look at this time https://youtu.be/pf1oTxfWLCI?t=2m29s

    You can easily see that there is obviously NOTHING in front of him. Even with lagg, it wasn't possible.

    So my guess is there is a bug in which you can fly against invisible walls? No idea, but will definitely try myself.

    Hello @PGombi75 @DYSPROssium
    FYI, I once threw a grenade towards the landing pad. Just as a star-fighter swooped in to shoot, it hit the star-fighter and killed it. Only happened 1 time in so may moths of playing, but it did show as a kill. LMAO. It happens. Wonder what the star-fighter saw as the Killed by???

    Hello @DYSPROssium, @PGombi75 @EA_Atic

    Looks like you hit a Kamino tidal wave or a dead spot in that area. Could be a bug, but also could be a low spot on the area for out of bounds. Think about falling off the platforms on Kashyyk. As a player you die well before you hit the ground. Or when you fall into any of the numerous holes in the game. Sometimes you are safe but stuck and sometimes you die on the way down but never hit the bottom.

    Hey Atic, this vid looks like a glitch because he should be able to pull out of the dive, but the game is treating him like a trooper with no means to get back out. However it does look like the AI fighter can go lower.
    He does not get the KILL either. So he hit it with a missile and scored damage points, but the enemy fighter must hit the low point. Wonder why he didn't get the kill or the assist?? Perhaps the missile never hit and the explosion was the defeat...

    My only suggestion for you is to not go this low!!

    The second video of you @PGombi75 really shows that it is, in fact, a problem (not lagging or flying against things). Thanks for the additional video, will certainly help to solve the bug.

    @Major-Band1t You are probably partially right. The droid ship seems to be able to fly lower towards the water then the clone ship does, around the area where normal troopers would die.

    So my guess is, that it depends on certain vehicle types? I have not tested this myself yet but will certainly do when Kamino comes along.
