omg ill try to be more clear. this is a random enemy fighter not anotherones mission . no one else is even in this sector of space. i am firing strait into the engines for maybe 20-30 times in a row i see the bolts hit the ship. when i do hit shields they lite up . no damage is recorded what so ever. i tailed a frieghter also for 10 min striat (yes it was attackable - yellow blip) firing into its engines - zero hits. again if this was me being stupid i would hit at least once by blind chance wouldnt i?

Just because there is no one there doesn't mean that it is not a mission. They could have just gotten the mission from the ground.

wow once more i will try to clarify this situation. i have heard the loud buzzing from attacking anothers mission. this is NOT the case guys. lets pretend i get the newbie patrol missions and 3 enemys spawn. obviously this is my mission as they have mission critical targets on them. hitting them repeatedly from any angle any position any leading fire does zero damage and zero shield damage. i think i have been very clear on this. its obviously a bug. im looking for a helpful workaround or other idea to get some xp. working on 6 hrs of space time now , no xp lol ( not really funny)

the thing is no1 can help as other people are having no problems so it either comes down to your pc or net conection or you just havnt got the hang of fighting in space.

Other people are having problems. It is a KNOWN BUG. This was taken from a similar post.


Yes this is a well known bug.


It's a cause from your internet connection, doesnt matter how fast it is, not relaying the information fast enough so if you hit the ship and see that it is animating the shield's being hit then it's basically like shooting behind the ship.

I am having the same issue, though I have yet to try the leading tactic.

you ever played a fps with a realy bad net con? the server has the locations of everything on it if your client isnt showing the same place as the server says you cant hit it cause acording to the server it just isnt there and your basicaly firing into space. so basicaly you have to hit were it is on the server and a net conection will afect the server to client conection. im running on a 1 meg conection and high spec pc hitting every time taking the ships down in a few shots.

I guess you overlooked this sentence.

Do you get it now? This is a BUG. Has nothing to do with the internet connection speed.


If you need further proof, here are the threads about this topic that haven't been deleted.

Glad you are able to play it fine, but some of us can't, through no fault of our own.

help needed. i know about the bug where ships are invulnerable, have tried leading ships with my fire. have done this for hours now. without one successful hit. nevermind a kill. is this my connection to the game lagging to much? i dont have any lag that i can see. frame rate seems good also. any ideas out there?


I've noticed this too. And its none of the things people have suggested. We're not stupid or just inaccurate. What else I've noticed is when these ships are invulnerable I also get a particular beeping that tells me I won't be able to hit it. I get the same beep when I target a friendly and shoot at it. I think there is some sort of anti-KS code built in. For the most part, I can't attack some things that others are attacking, but that can change mid-fight. I think mostly these invulnerables happen when you attack them and they don't attack back. I think some of the AI autoattack isn't kicking in.

not one of them confirms your argument the top bottom invunerability is well known but you claim you cant hit it any were meaning you have a 100% diferant problem maby your the one who needs to read considering all the poeple you see fighting in space shooting up ships so not one of them post concenrs your statement of not being able to hit it even aiming head on or at the back end cause i know 100% as a fact playing chicken with them can blow them up real quick leading them and staying on their side takes them down fast shooting them straight up the arse and blasting the engin off also works so maby its either you aint actualy found out how to play thw game since one 1 of the posts you said you didnt even know what leading a target was.

no wokka thats not it. as i have previously stated i tried running the newbie patrol missions that spawn 3 enemy fighters that u have to kill to progress. cant touch them anyway anyhow. eventually the mission fails since i cannot hit them. but thanks for replying , anything positive is a help.
