This happens to me all the time, it's a science. I should make a video of this happening. I make direct hits on usually the top of the enemy craft around a hundred times and nothing happens. If I score about ten direct hits on the front or rear of the craft, bam, dead like that.

It's not a lag issue for me. I know because I watch my shots land the same way on normal interceptors in the same area and it blows em up fast. With the Royal Guard Interceptor, the shots either go through, or do no damage.

This is usally a symptom of lag. The ship you are shooting at is not really where it appears to be. With zero deflection (front or back) it is possible to hit it still the ship since your shots will pass though it at some point. With any amount of deflection however, you won't get any hits since the ship you are shooting at is not where you think it is. I am the king of lag in space... soI am pretty sure this is what your problem is.





Im inclined to agree dude!


It could be a problem with my broadband upload speeds, which is capped at 256k, were my download is 2mb.. But my ping is usually around 80 even in space..


And ive also did as this post recommended :-

But alas it hasnt impreoved any of the ways to kill a target ship, i still have to hit back or front only, but! i no longer have my engines switching off in space


Now ive played the space upgrade since beta, and i remember having non of these problems even when the expansion went live, its only since all these new ships came out and the target ships have started a new way of flying and turning on the spot!


Oh! well it looks like im just gonna have to take all these imps from the rear
