When I shoot ships on top or bottom, I often do 0 damage, even if the ships are Tier 1 while my weapons are Tier 3/Tier 4.
I remember bugs like this in early phases, but other people deny they have the same.
My question is if this is a common bug or if only I have it. I consulted other people but they don't experience this, that is why I ask.
Thank you for your incomming replies.
Don't flame me with 1 stars because many others ask, but the bug treads described it in a way I did not understand.

I've noticed a similar problem. When flying head on towards an enemy ship, if I fire off my guns at less than ~20m, the ship takes no damage. Same applies if the enemy ship shoots me at that range, I take no damage.
Even more frustrating is the fact that most of my shots pass right through the enemy ships.For instance, if I disable a ship, thensit < 100m from it and begin shooting, only 1 out ofevery 2-3 shots hit. This is with all 3 of my guns shooting at once. Pacing my shots by clicking the mouse button, say 1 time per second or two, destroys the ship faster than if I just hold down the mouse button.
Same technique works when dog fighting. The only difference between holding down the mouse button and pacing my shots is how much capacitor energy I have left when the enemy ship is destroyed. Either way, it takes approx the same amount of time to destroy the ship.

Just failed a mission thanks to this bug that's been around since Beta. WHY NPC ships are ONLY able to be hit from certain angles is beyond me. It's as though the devs designated only certain parts of the ship mesh as "targetable zones" and hits anywhere else don't count..

Not a bug....but I won't post the reasons here. If you search the forums you will see why this "appears" to happen. What you see isn't always what you get!

Yeah, I'm definitely hitting them. I've tested by disabling the reactor, and sitting motionless about 100m from the target. When I hold down the mouse button and fire, the first shot hits, the 2nd and 3rd go right through the ship. 4th shot hits, 5th and 6th go through. Etc...

If you aren't going to list the reasons, you could have at least linked or referenced another post that does...

There are times depending on the postion of the ship you will do Zero damage, been there since beta.
I have level 9 guns in my ships, I hit a Tier 1 they blow up, but sometimes I hit and do no damage at all...
Seems to be just certain angles that cause this bug to show up.

maybe this should be reported in every 'patch XXXX bug' thread until it gets some attention?
