My random tech problems.

Bluenightmare3

Every time i get on the server there are a few things that go wrong for me.
Such as...

The e2's that are suppose to download to me arn't there. *I believe that there is a set of e2's that i get from the server when i log on idk though.

When things pass trough the stargate shield I get a tiny checkerboard pattern where the effect is suppose to be.

When i use the gyropod adv. with it linked to my chair it seems to want to drive my ship to my chair as in it flips out and goes crazy.

Thats about it. Idk if some of these error are due to me being stupid but if someone knows how to fix one of those 3 ill be glad.

and yes i am new to server.

Not sure about shield issue, Gyropods are dodgy ATM so try using your own steering.

I like how that's just my autoparenter, but someone along the way just removed my license at the top.

Not cool, whoever that was. Especially since the license said not to remove it.
