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?

Have you tried rolling and aiming for the engines. The invulnerability bug seems to only affect the top and bottom of the ship. You should be able to damage it from behind or in front.

NO this is not a connection problem. I am still on my novice box and this is the 4th day I been playing. I was tld to do a /bug by a CSR.....so I guess Im F'ed until a new fix is released. My frined has the same problem. You CAN ride shotgun in someone else's ship, y-wing and still be able to fight. Also, my friends can't see me...as if I'm ghosted....hope that bug is not back. My uggestion would be to but a mark on the bug thread, send a /bug, and call the tech support....thats what I'm doing on Monday. Ive seen a couple other threads with the same problem....its just not widespread.

as a human i made 1110 privateer prety easy killing stuff wasnt a problem and that was yesterday i was just aiming perfectly for the green + infront of the ship even when behind the ship and managed to take down up to teir 3 ships with the starter ship.

that is very great news for you i guess , but i have tried front / back/ sideways/ upsidedown etc. tried aiming exactly at the targeting crosshairs. this seems to be a bug that affects not all players. im not kidding , i have spent 4-5 hours non stop varying my attack tactics with zero and i mean zero hits for damage.

No problems at all for me i shot ship's engine's off to attack them from the sides etc and i was doing dmg with all shots.

Give me a cookie!

dont congratulate me i rerolled to ith now i can move round 180 degrees in my pilot seat inted of the mouse controling the ship it now works as if im on the ground in first person mode gues iths must be borked or somthing lol

I've had similar problems.

If I shoot where the ship appears to be, my blasters hit and there's a shield flare, but no actual damage

If I shoot around the lead indicator, I can score damaging hits almost every time.

If I shoot far in front of the ship,a bitmore forward than logic would indicate where the ship is actually positioned, I can also score damaging hits

So in my experience, they don't seem to be invulnerable... they're just not positioned where they should be, and it's a matter of telling your brain where to focus fire. Either that, or the invulnerability bug only covers center-mass, and by firing forward of the ship, I'm actually hitting the forward extremeties of the baddie's ship.

Either way, try using the lead indicator faithfully for a bit until you get used to where the retical is telling you to fire.

Hoping someday I can once again do both

well in beta top and bottom were invunerable sp not scoring damage on them could be a cuase cause i mainly stuck to the side when i was fighting stuff.

have covered all these ideas in game, nothing is working , just tried again for over an hour without a successful hit. blind luck would seem to let me hit at least once by chance. no dice. i am firing all around the ship front back , leading it , trailing it, nothing , not even one lucky hit. this is very frustrating !

They are invulnerable to you because they arent yours. They are someone's mission.

stick to it tail concentrate all fire on the engin you have to take down the sheild before you get through to the ship so if you aint damaging the same area enough you will never get through the sheilds.
