I was doing Gone Berserk 4 a minute ago and this happened at least 3-5 times with every BS rat and with the last Death lord, I wasn't able to get a lock for about 3 minutes :S
Linkage
Is this an ingame feature or is it because I had a weak connection or was in a busy system?

Maybe you have been jammed by some of the ships? But this would be too easy ... :)

Has happened to me as well during missions - I assumed that it was because of some jamming mechanism.

THIS HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE DAMN TIME.
It has caused me to lose kills before. I was sitting in a belt once and some guy warped in. I tried to lock him, and when it got about 50% through the lock it said "Your attempt to target XXX failed."
TOTALLY UNCOOL. It happens at the WORST times too, and it NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

Keeps happening to me while ratting, is a real prob when there is a frig rat scraming you that you cant lock cos your client says you cant. Usually it eventually decides it can lock it (after a minute or so :() And no its not anything to do with being jammed. Its usually just 1 rat in a spawn with me though.

This happened to me on blockade once, Spent 6 minutes trying to lock a single damned frigate, it failed over 35 times in a row.

On the Serpentis blockade this could be because it was sensor dampening you. ------------

this is just desync far as i know, all your modules work things dont seem laggy, but the ships arnt quiet where they are being displayed on your machine.
desync screws it all up and you get that message, a logout and back in should fix it.
sux its still a issue tho,

This morning it happened to me when I was trying to shoot someone else, ended up docking at the station I was at instead of fighting because it wouldn't lock for about 1 minute.

Happened me too. I sit in a belt and a Raven warps in. For the 30s it takes him to react and align im mashing the targeting-button but just get the unable to lock message. Everything was running smoothly so i really doubt it was desync.

happens to me ALOT, ****'s me off cause after i'm 75% armor and finaly get a lock it's usualy on a drone that takes the 1st overlaoded volly of dmg.
I don't mind it to much in PvE, not a big issue, but would like to understand more of what it is.

Same in a belt while ratting a shadow serpentis spawn.
I can target support frig but not the shadow..
Hopefully my drones kill him before he warp away.
But this bug happen time to time but never in pvp for the moment.
And sorry for my bad spelling :)

I'm with the above poster saying this is likely sensor dampening.
IIRC damps don't show up as countdown timers above your instrument panel in the way that scramming does. If you don't have an icon indicating a damp next to an NPC or two on your OV, though, I'd be quite surprised.

No count down timers, Sensor Dampeners do show up as a timer and I also did not have any Icons on My Overview it was the last ship in a spawn so it was the only ship on my overview which would make the icon hard to miss

My theory is also desync's. I know it doesn't seem laggy nor can you always decide when the desync occured, but it answers everything. Basically, the ships were not where the client says they are, nor is your ship.
It's annoying but thankfully I haven't suffered from this trauma in some time now. Test it out next time--relogging should fix a desync.

It happens in PvP as well, yes it's desyncs. Yes it's annoying. No, the logs don't show anything. --

I've had it myself when I lock just before someone drops from warp or just before I do. It just completely buggers it and there's no chance of getting a lock at all after that. I've had haulers sat in a belt while I'm in an inty and I've not been able to lock and just watch it warp away. Eventually.

yes ideed I have also experienced this whilst ratting or in Complexes, we somehow found out that it seems to be range bug, meaning it mostly happens with ships that are close to U'r max lock distance, so the client shows it in locking range, but in fact on the server or wherever the rat is generated it is outside U'r locking range and thus U can't lock it ... If U then approach the rat for some time, to get it closer it will work again ... some time or rather ....
definetly soemthing that needs to be adressed as it can be very annoying and my eaven cost U a ship if unlucky, cos as U can see on the screeny posted by the op the rats still can shoot U ...

Funnily this happendt to me aswell last week.. I was running lvl 4 against the sansha, Cant remember if it was blockade or massive attack. But anyways after a while of killing the npcs on my overview seemed closer then what they where on the reality on the server. So i had issues targetting battleships 30 km away from me.. after a while of this I had a freeze up, I had recently turned of my repper to save cap while i let my armor drop before i start repping again. Unlucky as I was the battle was pretty much over when the screen had started moving again. I tried to make a petition for reimburstment but theire logs showed nothing.
luckely i only lost 1 billion isk on it. Ive already replaced the ship and the fittings but it should be some logging of this from their side in my opinion. Im not gonna risk that happending again. I got eccact the same message this time as i got when i lagged out and lost a punisher in 0.0 Seemed pretty autogenerated and im somewhat upset about it.

You should get a message like: You are already managing 0 targest, as muc has your ship is capabel of (or something along those lines...)
That doesnt appear in his log. And dampeners will tell you youre out of range. Recruitment

I get this in missions occasionally. Lckily doesnt seem to affct drones too much, those wee guys just go mental and kill EVERYTHING. I do seem to loot a LOT more jamming modules from the wrecks afterwards - I do NOT believe this is co-incedental.

I do.
Or do you also think the battleships are using 1mn AB's to get in their optimal range?
Loot tables do not always reflect what's "fitted" to an NPC ship, in my experience. Especially back in the day before the tables were changed so BS's stopped dropping small-ship modules.

Edited by: Obsidian Dagger on 26/05/2008 16:36:39 Edited by: Obsidian Dagger on 26/05/2008 16:36:08 There wasnt any battleships in the mission I've done with that issue >.> Battleships would be a mite tough for me I think.
I am aware the loot can be somewhat random - but I see MORE than the average of jammers on those missions than usual. At least a third of the wrecks, as opposed to the usual one or two.
Edited because of my brain failing.
