I just dropped reb ace for imp to get my JSF.....figured long as i was imp, I'd pick up a boltdriver too. So I get my heavy tie, change factions, sign on to Black Epsilon. For some reason, though, both in my starter TIE and my heavy TIE, the Z95 and X Y and Bwings I'm up against on my missions seem to become invincible when I'm on their tails. If I joust them, its ok, and if I sit turret-style its ok, just when I get in close trying to take them out, Ican see their shields flashing, but I cant damage them.Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? Am I just doing something wrong? 
This was with both the prototype weapon and a haor-chall looted weapon I installed, and it wasnt due to lag or anything, since I wasnt getting lag when i sent a /tell to myself

Maybe your ping skyrocketed earlier? because when my ping is real high it does that too (make sure it is high for real by pressing ctrl shift g and leaving the window open a minute or two)

If your rebel try getting one of the royal guard interceptors that hang around the Imp station in Kashyyk.
They're notorious for getting hit and not taking damage.
I don't think it's a ping thing cuz you'll be able to cut through the regular ties easily..
I think the hit box...er cube is missing a side or two.

It IS lag....of a sort. The hit counter for your screen is client side. The hit counter for the actual damage is server side. Even a half or 1/4 second delay will cause what looks like a hit on the client to actually register as a miss. Ive also had kills on low level stuff where I saw the bolts completly MISS the target. This does seem to be more prevalent when in closer to the target than further away.

You were "out of sync" with the server. The ships were not where they appeared to be on your screen. When this happens to me (and it is rare) I land and relog. After I log back in everything works as it should.

I've noticed a lot more "glance" hits recently too. It's almost like the hitboxes are smaller now - I NEVER glanced before about two weeks ago, now I hear them all the time.

its not just that im glancing off, im getting dead on hits and its not reducing anything....i only can hit them if they're coming at me or going straight away, thats what made me think of the old top/bottom invulnerability problem

I meant that I'm hitting full on as well and still getting the "glance" sound (that sort of higher-pitched 'shwoooo' nose).

when you glance, theres just that "shwoo" sound, but if its a real hit, it'll have that "shwoo" sound accompanied by an electrical sort of sound.

i'm getting the electrical shock sound, and seeing the shield flash, but nothing goes down on their shields or armor.

No that shouldnt happen. You shouldn't get the shock sound unless the hit is registered to do damage. I've never gotten the shock sound when I only got glancing hits
