A while back, I couldn't damage a GB in Kessel (not sure about the style). After some time, things returned to normal ... and I died in about a second as my shjeld was hammered by all that fire the gunboat put on me when I drifted into the line of fire while LD.

Sitting in deep space, hit z and find 2 enemy players. Odd to discover that I could shoot and hit them(they were sittign still?)
but I did zero damage, but one of them rotated, and 1 shot me.
Common occurance?

OR you are a terrible targetter (:smileytongue
, OR you had that bug I'm having a lot too.
The bug involves enemy fighters not being shootable, and if you watch that green pointer that says where you have to shoot to hit them,
it moves really fast from one place to the other, impossible to follow (like your target is flying in a dodge-bullet mode).
But since they were standing still, you probably didn't see that green pointer moving, so that's why it's a little odd.
The only thing i've found to get that bug fixed, is wait a couple of minutes, land, go dead, relog, reboot the game (basically anything that takes a little break from what you're doing atm)

2 Targets sittin dead still. Me less than 300m away shootin at em and scratchin my head wondering where to get those shields ![]()
And for anyone who says no one PVPs in space, go Reb Pilot on Ahazi, and goto DS. Feel free to fight off wave after wave of Imps in Bells and JSFs. That the ONLY type of ships you'll see ![]()

Sounds like a client/server sync issue... If they were sitting still and you were shooting them with no effect, then that means that you probably weren't where you thought you were on the actual server yet (as in it hadn't updated to your latest position), or the server had failed to give you the latest position of the people you were shooting at.... either way it would be a client/server issue. The fact that the enemy you were fighting didn't have the same problem would suggest to me that either they were lucky, or you were having some type of network problem (I.E. client problem) at the time.
It happens now and then with everybody... you're on the internet and sometimes it looks like you're connected but you're really lagging and/or gettign packet loss... and then then next minute your fine.

Have seen something very similar with NPCs. I was DS several days ago and couldn't damage Rebel GBs 400ms from dead astern. Broke off and waited 30 seconds, picked another target and was fine after that. I remember thinking I was link dead.

I have had similar instances. It nas been my experience that when you notice that you are lagging, start making standard evasive maneuvers. Even though it may seem like you are doing it for no reason. When everthing catches back up it can be the difference between still flying a functional ship and having your shields and armor shreaded or respawning at the station.
