So i got a TIE Interceptor last night, put it all together and went to bed.
today I log in and decide to kill a few NPCs while I wait for friends to come online, well I notice I'm only damaging the enemy ship about 1 in 20 hits. It shows the shield animation like I hit but there is no change to shields/armor/systems so my question is, am I just a jackass or is this a bug ?
took me like 15 minutes to bring down like 1 tier 4 ship, I tested this out on other targets as well and had simillar problems with Tier 1,2,3 as well.

Ongoing issue with lag.
Search for "bumblebee", or I think there's a sticky in the tech support forums. Server isn't registering the hit on the ship, which is either server-side or client-side lag; various flamewars have yet to determine which it is.

Client side hits will still show a shield animation. Server side hits will do the same, reduce the shield percentage... as well as display an 'armor hit' once shields are down. If you're close enough to your target you can also hear the 'clang' of an armor hit.
Sometimes it's not a solid hit, ofttimes it's a lag issue.
