been noticing this more and more often. While in game a bunch of Luth AI( 8 or 9) jumped right next to Fargo Rock with its dictor online. AT tiflis Lithium and Delando Both jumped 400 Gu's in to its dictor. While jumping away from some luth near the Tau/Luyt gate in luyt i jumped 800 Gu's through Ihzach's dictor putting me in range of the planet defence. Any thoughts as to why this is happening?

The velocity of a moving ship when they jump and the mass of that ship will drive it into a dictor's aoe. Its not a bug.
A net catching a moving object doesn't stop it cold. It absorbs its velocity by stretching. Same basic concept here.

thought u ment the bug that a dicor comes in, turns on dico, then after he leaves some players still dictored, usually cruisers.
been noticing this on ugto and luth faction.
might as well post it here since it fresh:)

yes, by design or not, if u go full speed and jump in to a dictor, u'll go about 400gu in. This has been consistant for me.
but the other bug where, lag or dycnic will not allow u to jump after the enemy dictor has cloak/jumped or u have gated, do happen quite often too. It's annoying, but it's probably just another lag related glich like cloak bug that we can't realy fix, other than reloging.
Off topic here, but today's fight's been good and balanced. I like this, and hope there will be more

Kluth DREADS are able to jump out of ugto dico's all the time as if the dictor isnt even turned on, needs sorting and should be a priority!

it dosent happen every time, (for me)
if your dictored, and exit the dictor feild via gate, or wormhole, or dictor jumps, your jd remains disabled untill you relog

and also luth can cloak jump too! i seen ships from all 3 factions jump thru dictors. has something to do with the dictor being on when you jump in to area. same thing with going thru a gate or wh.

Under no circumstances have I been able to jump out of a dico field. Maybe those incidents have occured just as a dico goes up, or near the edge of a dico field, where lag contributes to yr perception that the other ship managed to jump while in the field.
As for cloak jumps (won't discuss the technique) but wasn't this fixed? I used to be able to do it in 1.5x but it doesn't work anymore. Well, at least not the way it used to.
I know I've been accused of cloak jumping as I come out of jump and hit V immediately, with 2 ECMs active. My sig drops to 0 almost instantaneously. Again lag may make it appear like a cloak jump.

just speculation
maybe the server checks every few ms if the ship is within a dictor field and if so, the jump is blocked
ships entering the field at the right moment would be able to jump deep into the field and ships, who just entered, can jump out before the next check
