I heard about that glich before... It involves lagging out the servers. That's all I can say without breaking the rules though...

No its not a pso pc picture.
Theres a glitch that has something to do with lag. You go to the ship select and it will bring you to a Ship called "Other Ship"

Notice it does not have a ship number

Same happened to me a while ago, when leaving a game in a Japanese ship. Lots of lag that day so that has probably something to do with it

So can you play on 'other ship' when you get there?

Not in my experience. I've had it happen on accident once, and did it deliberately a couple of times, but it seems to be sort of a ghost thing - No warp where the lobby warp is, and nothing I said showed, and I lagged out after a minute or so. Couldn't join/make a game either. Amusing, though.

I saw this when the famitsu cup for episode 3 was on.(Mintaka 1 was 'other ship')

It's probably some sort of fail-safe server Sonic Team put in place to keep people from "falling off" completely when lagging while coming out of a game... To give them a chance to log off properly. It might be hosted by your own GC, huh?

It's interesting. I'll have to learn a bit more about it.

In the PC version of the game, they have a really cool lobby. It is much bigger, and it just looks nicer.

The PC PSO servers had already shut down for good.

There are Private PSO PC and DC Servers but dont PM or ask about it in this forum.

Anyway back on topic:
I emailed ST about this "other ship" they said it was a fail safe ship in case you lag to the point where fsod is high. This was espicially built for people on a 56k.

This is a new feature built in due to complaints about lag then FSOD in the DC Days because most people didnt buy the BBA Adapter for DC ($100-$200).
