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?
This is exactly my problem. I've been experiencing this since the beginning. I can't do any damage the ship I'm trying to hit, but I still receive damage from NPC ships. I can't hit my target until I warp, then everything is corrected and I can do damage again.
Can we get a dev response to this issue please?

I just realized last night that if you target in the leading reticle (or slightly behind) that it seems to hit much more frequently, even though it seems you are aiming way off.
Hope this helps.i have noticed the same thing. the lead recticle is NOT accurate the further it gets away from the ship.
Seriously guys try aiming with the reticle (or sweet spot nearabouts.) You can be shooting directly at the enemy and looks like he takes hits with associated animation, but if you don't hear the little sizzle sound, you are not doing any damage. I was banging my head against the wall until I figured this out. It helps to have missiles loaded also because then another sound and graphic cue is made when target is in reticle projected area (even if out of range
)

I know what the problem is.
We all suddenly turned invisible.
either that or the dev's suddenly can't read anymore. 
Seriously, they could at least give us an estimate on how long it's gonna take to fix this crap.

They already have. They're not going to post it in every single one of the few hundred posts about this. Search for it.
They're aware of it, they're on it, now all we have to do is be patient.
Wouldn't happen to have a Post Location for that Would ya?
