I have noticed this a lot lately. A lot of shots I fire just go straight through some ships. An example is with Y wings, I shoot them and i can see my lasers going through their ship without damaging them. This happens when their disabled too sometimes, so I know its not my aiming, but rather some sort of bug. Before this bug I could land almost every shot I fired, but now most shots miss and its very frustrating. This doesn't only happen with y wings, but they seem to be the hardest to hit, along with A wings. Its happend with things as large as lambda shuttles, and freighters too.
Yet like you, my friends just sit there pounding away at the ships. It doesnt affect how much I hit the enemy, by whether someone else is also attacking though, it just seems random for me. Ican empty my capacitor and have taken the enemies shield down to a pathetic 80%, where as if it had been working, should have destroyed them before my capacitor drained.
I havn't tried this with missiles, but it would be interesting to see if I get the same problem.
For me I think some of the issue is due to lag. Since its been happening my load times have gotten rediculously long. My connection isn't the fastest but its decent (512kb line), and used to run the game fine till about 3 days ago. Its also not my computer as that is pretty top end (Athlon 3200+ 64 bit, Radeon x800xt, 2gb ram, 120gb 7200rpm hard drive split into 3 40gb partitions, 1 dedicated to swg alone, and all the rest that doesnt really affect performance).
Glad you posted about this, I was wondering if my aiming had gone to pot
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the missles. I tried those too and during the segments of not doing damage, they wouldn't either. So I supposed that blows the top/bottom invulnerability bug out of the question.

I have been having the same issue. Last night I went on the first Rebel tier 2 mission in the LOK system. It was about 10:20 PM MST. I did not have any problems at that time. After completing the mission I went to the NPC and obtained a duty mission. The duty mission was a patol of the Dantooine sector. After the 8th wave of the missions I decieded to try some random spawns in the area. All was working asexpected up to this point. I headed over to a spawn oftier II intercepters,and started to engage. Around 11:15 PM MST, Iunloaded a fullvolly and did7 points of damage to the sheilds. Istayed on the ship for a good5 minutes and could not damage it any further.I thought forget this and tryed another ship same problem. I hyperspaced out and logged for the evening.

Have not had to group with anyone and reach 4433, give me a break. Not possible to do tier 3 and tier 4 missions without a group, what game are you playing? Certainly not FTL!
I agree there is a bug, I have experience it myself. I was able to relog and correct it though.

Has a Dev even read this yet?
It's pointless for me to play right now until I know how to fix this. Way too frustrating, I just get mad and log off.

Umm Usualy if Your Going to Slam someone You should check your Grammer. It's not that he has to group with someone for Skills Sake, he has to group with them to Fix the Bug.
I agree that the Devs Should at least make note of this.

Okay, not sure if this has been suggested in any other thread related to "top/bottom invulnerablity" bug, but it seems that not everyone is experiencing this bug,including me,(watch, now that I say this I'll start getting it. LOL). But has anyone, who is having a near impossible time doing any damage to enemy ships, tried uninstalling & re-installing their game? Maybe it's something the full scan, if you've done one, is not catching. Just a thought. Otherwise everyone who is/has experienced this bug should get together & see what the commonalities might be.
My .02....now where's my change?
I haven't been getting this either but like you I've got to watch what I say...A guildmate had told me that he had been having trouble with a JTL patch and his connections with the game. I told him I hadn't been having any problems then 10 seconds later as I enter a battle CTD so I log back in and my shields Engine and Capacitor are all disabled. I had a good laugh

I'll have my friend log in as my character to see if its something tied to my character or to my PC.

I have noticed it using a Z-95 starter ship for a while just now. First time I have experienced it, I will have to try my other characters and see if I can find any comparisons.

I experience the same problem all the time, about every 5-10 minutes. I know its happening when I aim whereI know will result in a hit, but the shots do not connect, and if I compensate to hit then no damage is taken, or if I see enemy fighters zig-zagging like crazy. At that point I have to disengage and wait until either I warp (causing me to move back 200m with throttle back at zero) or I see the target warp. At that point i normally am able to fight and deal damage like normal. Could anyone please tell me what's going on and how to fix it?

If you are going to complain about someone's grammar, you should check your spelling and grammar, before you post...hehe 
Take anything I say with a grain of salt....for I am FAR from perfect, myself...

Hasn't happened to me, but has happened to one or 2 guildies. Completely game-breaking, as there's nothing they can do to fix the situation. Here's hoping you guys get the attention you deserve from the dev team.

i have this thing where i can do damage fo maybe.. 20% of sheilds then i cant do damage anymore... i can follow him for 5 minutes landing shots but no damage... then i'll kinda lag back (my game freezes for half a second and im about 60m further back from him... its like tha game catches up) and i can kill it with ease... or sometimes if i disengauge that target and engauge another one and kill it i can go back to the other and kill the one that was previously bugged. it seems to be a lag issue... but i have a cable connection and a top of the line gaming computer...
this is severely frustrating and makes me just want to stop spacing for a bit and go back to land where i have no issues. i mean zero lag on the ground. This needs to be looked at.

Just saw this... same thing happens to me

I did notice that I warp a lot during this and you're right, the target starts swerving everywhere. It really seems bad lag but at what point? I don't seem to be lagging in my connection.
