Hi, I have a problem with something that keeps destroying my ship.
I've found out that it just occurs when I'm near enemy installation like Outpost, or other enemy bases. Even on missions (mission rank 13 or alike, destroy enemy outpost, with CSV, and in three seconds, I'm almost reduced to pieces?)
Same thing happens when I'm in minefield, or explosive gas zone, carefully dodging everything, not being hit.
It's like : my shields/hull are 100%/100% then, shields starts dropping by 20% per half a second, then hull starts as well. As I counted it, using nanobots and batteries, it would be just the damage to destroy my ship (when I'm like 40% hull left, and use nanobots/batteries, it takes 40% of shields, and then stops for a while, then it starts again.
It happened to me even when I was flying through trade line, I had just no idea what would that be.
To be honest, it seems like some periodical damage to me.
Any idea what should that be?
Some friends suggested that it'd be something not drawn, like laser or so, but what about periodical damage, and minefields/gases?

About the enemy bases shooting, this is an issue that exists with the NPC draw distance too (you can see it in New York, near NPC spawn points, where they shoot before you can see them). As far as I know, it's going to be fixed in the upcoming version.
As for the tradelane and the mines/gas clouds, you could have a very laggy connection.
I know what you mean, experienced itself many times around the O49 jumphole in Dublin. Too bad I don't have an explanation for this.
Your ship can equip a better shield than a class 10 shield:
Go to Newark Station in New York and buy the Brigandine Freighter Shield (freighter shield, class 6).
It's the fastest rebuilding shield you can get for your ship (~20.000u). There is an even bigger shield you could also equip, but the rebuild-rated is slower (~29.000u).
With any big freighter shield you will get rid of that problem.

While in game, try typing "/ping" (without quotes) and jot down what you get. Then post those results here. My guess, you either have high lag or high loss due to a poor network connection. As for the O49 hole... you probably had a Molly gunboat take you on while you were lagging into the system.

well, about my ping - around 27, and that's just fine imho.
about Newark - they'd probably welcome me with open fire, not hands, since I'm Outcast, but I've solved this buying class 10 shield ship
What I meant is this - jobs lvl 14 and so are quite for beginning, one of the easiest. I had no problems finishing jobs lvl 28 or more without using nanobots or batteries, but lvl 14 seems quite impossible without them even for my ship, and that's just unbalanced... So buying new ship is not a solution, I'd say.
Well, let's just hope it gets better with new version.

' Wrote:There do appear to be invisible weapons on the outposts in certain kill-base missions. I lost more than one dagger to it.
Also, the numbers other than ping are what is important. Fluctuation, Loss, and Lag.
Yep, I know there are other numbers... but let say, my internet connection is all right, and game runs smoothly.. Must be something invisible, with very fast projectiles. As I've found, it happens usually near Outpost-type bases, if I take a mission to destroy lets say Large installation, I can stand still forever, and nothing happens. If it is Outpost, I'm doomed.
