At the scoreboard some players have DNF as status: I assume this means "Did Not Finish" ? or is it simply a tribute to Duke Nukem Forever?

[captain howdy]

I don't see why it can't mean both. Considering the time it's taking Duke Nukem Forever to be developed, I think they're interchangeable, really. You should start using it in everyday conversation.

"Smithee, why didn't you hand in that report I asked you for?"
"Duke Nukem Forever."

Here's something I am hoping someone can answer.

How does the computer recover from weapon fire so quickly? I get hit with a rocket, bomb, etc and I'm coming to a dead stop before I'm back on my way. The computer just seems to recover from it much faster. Is there a trick to getting going again quickly after a strong attack?

[eLhabib]

It's called cheating.

[Asayyeah]

Before on Pure ( less in pulse since acceleration is way faster than pure)when i had a dead spot (i.e. 5 consecutive mines) i sideshift ( left or right) to get a mini boost speed then try to hit the nearest boostpad
But yeah like MArtin said AI clearly cheating

[Rubix42]

Well, that makes me feel better. I had tried everything. Letting off the thrust for a moment and firing back up, etc, etc, etc. Nothing worked. As long as it's just the AI cheating, I can deal with that.

Why do weapons set the back of my ship on fire? I thought I had an energy shield that stopped everything making contact with the actually body of the craft? Makes no sense.

Since everyone is so obsessed with making Wipeout realistic, don't you think all this burning and flaming of my ship is going to cause a failure at some point no?
