Are you actually hitting the thing?

Anyway, just file a bug report and hope for the best.

Almost sounds like your lagging in space. Right after I got Ace Pilot and took my Krayt out I couldn't hit anything and I watched shots pass into ships and do no damage. I even saw the shields take a hit when it did that, I was thinking I was bugged or something at the time. However I looked into it that night and my roommate had desided to download a big file. Worst case it's bugged, but sounds more like lag.

Ya major space lag is back, in Kessel with NOTHING on radar other then 2 player ships I get up to a 30 second delay on /GroupChat. Along with this I get the old invulnerable NPC ships stuff back. Here is a break down on it.....

1. NPC ships change thier flight characteristics to the player attacking them


2. The new ships are 3 to 4 times as nimble as the old player ships


3. NPC ships "speed" up to match these


4. Any server/client lag (different then client lag) renders most of your shots at "negative hits"

So with a little increase in lag (probably partly due to the increase in data transfered due to much higher YPR max (on the chassis) ships being flow in the old system we have MAJOR invulnerable ships again.........

PS If you don't think I am correct fly an old ship and engage a T5 fighter, notice the flight characteristics of the NPC's mostly the tightness of the turns, then switch to a grev fighter and so the same thing. Now add to this lot and lots of players doing the same thing in new ships and now you have much less room for client-server error and whala...............

I'm definetly hitting it dude! i hear the hit noise and see the shields take damage. But no damage is shown on target ship. What im having to do, is shoot one a few times, target another, shoot it, then move back to first, then sometimes the damage is shown.

This the ruberbanding? If so this gets worse with space lag

I think the targeting brackets and asteroids are also contributing.

Well ive figured out how to get ships to take damage, the only way is to get right in behind em and blast away! or from the front,the damge is taken correctly then.

Oponents DO NOT take damage from any other shot but to front and back!!!

Ithink this is an error in coding or a bug!

Ive also found a rubberbanding in space fix!
