<div class="IPBDescription">as well as other things possibly</div> i can't seem to find this mentioned anywhere but sometimes i see horizontal lightning in completely random places from nothing to nothing. i assume its supposed to go from an electrified building to an alien but it doesn't. whatever is causing that bug i think is causing other things to manifest in the wrong place also such as welder light and maybe even some sound effects, anyone else noticed this? maybe this will get moved to the bug forum? or deleted if it's mentioned already.

The wrong lightning appears all the time in Comm mode, but I saw once or twice the other things..
"Swamp gas refracting light bounced off Jupiter. That's all you need to know, Corporal."
"Wait. We're ON Jupiter. What's REALLY going on, Agent?"
"Crap. He's onto it. Kill him, Jones."
Nicely said.

Yea! im not crazy. In Mineshaft I go around a corner to see a huge lighting bolt fly acrross the hall. Scared the crap out of me. I cautiously edge around coner looking for elect. building and nothing is there.
maaybe it shoots the already death alien once more, wich is spectating.
bug report forum is a better place.
for example, happens in tribes 2 quite frequently.

In Tribes 2, there are some levels which are in a permanent lightning storm. And the lightning happens outdoors. Here, you get lightning appearing where it just doesn't make sense.

TSA Nano Research and Development
Regarding: Anomalous Electric Discharges
000237464763737504987
Recent reports from Frontiersmen have claimed to see odd environmental effects happening in strange places for no apparent reason. We did some research into this phenomenon and have discovered that it is caused by Nano Gridlock. The nanites that make up the nano-tech that is present in all installations are involved in a tug of war with the strange Kharaa bacterium that inhabits infected areas. This tug of war causes the nano-tech to malfunction which intern is only able to be solved by direct human uplinking and interaction. Because of the Nano Gridlock the nanites build up excessive amounts of energy that is normally used by the nanties as they function.
The discharges of electricity that randomly occur is a result of the increased energy build up promoting friction in the air casued by gridlock to arc to the closest grounded sources. The voltage of these nano discharges is very low and can not harm a organic life form in any way.
This is just another side effect of the Kharaa infection which must be cleared out of our installations.
Good Luck Marines!

I have seen those little arcs from time to time too. Its just random. Oh, and I saw them in 1.04 too especially in Maintence on ns_hera. Its probably something with the engine. Its not like it shocks you or anything.
