Yup, sounds like you're not lining up properly on 'em.
Your crosshairs matched up with their little green box that appears when you target them?

A few things that might help you -
Shield flare means little, since lag and client/server may not agree. It takes a little practice to know when you actually hit, try to follow the green crosshairs as much as possible. Sometimes you have to shoot ahead of them, sometimes behind.
What Tier are you? Tier 1 guns, especially if you're still flying the starter ship, don't do much damage at all, and higher level NPCs will regen quickly.
