my friend is having this really strange problem with JTL, so i thought i would bring it to the forum to try to get some information on it.i actually watched this first hand-- so i can confirm its happening.

as far as i can tell, his problem can be divided into two parts:

1) he aims for the center cross hairs on a slow moving z95 and shoots. all of his shots on his computer look like "hits" (he sees the shields flare up, etc), but on my computer all of the shots miss.

2) after i disable the z95, he flies over to it and begins shooting the exact same way. i can watch all of the shots "hit" this time, but his shots aren't doing any damage at all. in fact, if i shoot the z95, it takes damage, and we can sit back and watch its shields regenerate through my friends' attacks.

we've tried taking the blaster out of the tie fighter and putting it back in, relogging, etc, and nothing seems to work. my friends computer is good, 1024Mb of ram, broadband connection, etc. also, he was in the JTL beta test, and never had anything like this happen to him before.

and this happens with every ship my friend fights. he says he cant do duty missions because the pirates or whatever get bored and leave while hes trying to "blast" them.

any ideas?
