Approximitly 2 days ago(rather late but I have been busy) our mining expedition ran into some unexpected difficulties. The pirates were of little concern as they were being handled nicelt by our fleet of attack drones until IT happened. For some, as of yet, unknown reason the fabric of space and time became disrupted around the field we were mining at. Each player was dumped into his own dimension within the same asteroid field. After a few minutes of exploring the field, players were able to locate several points which allowed them to move from one dimension to another. While a science team is assembled to find out if the region of space has returned to normal we are wondering if anyone else experienced a similar experience at that time?

I havent heard of anythign similar.
Care to give us an idea of rougly where you were when it happened?

I've experienced this. If you fly to far away of an asteroid field, it, and everything else around you disappears. Sometimes these points where things disappear, are poorly placed and I have seen it happen when I'm smack in the middle of a field and actively fighting pirates...its pretty big bug actually, but its small in comparison to the general content that is lacking...

I remember hunting in one field a few days back that was divided down the middle into 2 different fields. If I flew 5km to the left the pirates chasing behind me and all the rocks on that side of the line would disapear; while a new asteroid belt would appear in front of me. I could cross back and forth as many times as I wanted an the same effect happend every time.

We were mining in G-5EN2, asteroid belt 4-1.

I'm not entirely sure, but perhaps that occurs when you hit the edge of the causality bubble for that field (see the dev blog).

The phenomenon is very localized. It has happened to me as well.
Anything within impulse distance (maybe, 100km or whatever..) 'disappears'. However, surrounding celestial bodies.. stars, planets, etc.. remain visible.
This is a very odd phenomenon that throws logic and intuition out the window.
How could something as well understood as a spacetime bubble or inter-dimensional rift account for local objects disappearing, but distant ones remaining viewable by the observer who passes into said nether-region?
The region, BTW, is fixed and stable. It has a definite volume, as it's 'event horizon' can be slowly traversed, and then crossed again, back into normal space.
Ihave not determined if the region can be used as a safe-zone. If it can be, then it could be a valuable tool. Ie, Industrial ships, items, badly-damaged frigates and cruisers could take refuge there.

discount it to a quantum relativistic effect that you, going at a high speed and then undergoing a small (randomly occuring obviously) quantum teleportation. Making your out of phase time shift hbar*/gamma*mv^2. (from deltax*deltap >=hbar) and t'=t/gamma gamma = 1/(sqrroot(1-v^2/c^2)). I do quantum mechanics for a living, not relativity, and I don't have a GR book in arms length so that might be t' = t*gamma so then it would be your error as hbar*gamma/m*v^2. But time dialates at high speed so I'm pretty sure it's the first one, I'm tired though, don't trust me on SR or GR. By reversing your path you have the acceleration effects in GR, which I have no inclination to try and type in message board code (tensor analysis is hard without covariant and contravariant indicies /nod) which will essentially re synch you with the asteroids and pirates, who were of course, still shooting at you, and you at them despite being in a different relativistic hilbert space.
No not all of that is gibberish.
