(Joining the Bandwagon late in the game) I've been having this problem since I got JTL. Thought I could live with it... but it's been months now and I've been trolling the forums and have yet to find a suggested fix that works. Am I the last player to still have the enemy ships that are invulnerable and fly like there's a drunken monkey throwing feces at the controls of a spaceship?

oh and if anyone asks:
I have a cable connection, 1G ram, ATI Radeon 9600AIW, DX9.c
I can supply a bunch more info if it helps, just didn't want that giant list of mostly useless info

The reason (at least one of them) that they do that is because you're at the edge of the system. They are forced to obey the rules that no one can fly beyond the invisible wall that encloses each system. It's annoying but just attack another fighter if it happens.

Yeah what was said is true. Also they have said that the erratic flying of NPC ships is caused by a disruption in the constant data flow that is needed to make everything work in real time in space. There working on a fix for the rubberbanding/warping effect that is happening on the ground and in space. It has nothing to do with anyones PC's unless you have a real old one then you need to UPGRADE FAST!!!

Been really bad for me since they put in 12.1 that caused all the rubberbanding. I usually just fly away from the ship I'm attacking, or stop shooting and wait for a rubberband to occur. After it rubberbands it fixes itself.

I get this too and its annoying to no end..
1. Mission timer runs out because you can't hit the ships..
2. Storm Squadron Tier 3.2 mission, you can't defeat each waves of A-Wings in time before the next wave comes..
3. The NPCs can still hit you even though you can't hit them (which is very odd because the server supposingly doesn't see you there, which is the reason you can't hit them.. NPC Exploit #20234551, along with defeating 30 sec KD timer, dizzy sticks while posture changing, and so on)
4. it makes you look bad when you're helping someone.. I know its easy to kill anything.. I'm master pilot with a kickass ship.. and I can't hit a friggin Tier 2 TIE bomber because of this crap, and the person I help starts to doubt my ability =P

I'm cursed by the invulnerability bug, it seems. I can line up my shot, see the 'shield bubble'...but no damage is done. My PC is no slouch, P4 3.4, 2 gig memory, etc...sitting on a 3mbps cable line. So, it's not clientside lag (at least I hope!)...anybody know any workarounds?
I'm on the Alliance Tier 3, mission 4...
Thanks!

Well, I pretty much given up on JTL until I hear of a fix. It was just way too painful getting to 4333 in Imp Pilot. Plus with the last two patches I've had to unload all my graphic drivers several times and then let my game "idle" with a nodding macro for 45 minutes before I had a ping that didn't jump around from 500-900 every 1/2 second and fps that jumped from 1-30 every 1/4 second.
Still would like to hear of any work arounds... and don't tell me it's client side hardware issues, SOE will put out a patch one of these days and you will join us. Then I'll have to say "Welcome to the REAL Darkside!"
