Thats a bug thats been around for some time. Cammy scouted me about 4 rounds agao and put me in a neb like this.

I've explained it in the in game mail reply.

It is not a bug, you sustained damage in the last 24 hours due to some counters while being in nebula then. This entitled you to another nebula because of the damage sustained, so it kicked in on the first attack. It's really an exceptional situation and entirely depended on sustaining heavy damage from counter-attacks or attacks that hit you while you are in nebula, like bounty attacks.

ah, interesting - this would have been extremely lame if it was before the "no missions in a neb" thing, simple because if i say attacked someone, powered up, got nebbed by another person, stuck powerships up, and then got countered (lost powerships) to that person who I attacked it literally means a 48 hour neb.

why a 48 hour neb?  well, I'd run missions for 24 hours, come out - and we know EVERYONE who knows how to dish out an attack will scout first, and the scout will shove you into another neb.  and there is nothing more annoying than trying to scout for an attack and a decoy nebbing them...

this must be a new "update" or something right?  cause its never happened to me before.
