Before I go any further I'm not moaning or whining and yes I have petitioned. I just wonder if anyone else has experienced what happened to me tonight?
The story so far...
My corpmates and I went on a L4 kill mission in Saila. There were 6 BS's in total - all tooled up to the eyes. We do the first part - easy - not even a scratch. We get to the second part - is all going swimmingly then then I get targeted by about 10 NPC ships and my shield starts to vanish quite quickly. I get to about 5% shield and decide its time to get the **** out of dodge.
So I warp away to a station that i had aligned to before it all kicked off. As I'm warping I notice that I'm still being targeted by the NPC's. Fair enough - a bit of lag never hurt anyone. But it continues. And continues. And continues. By the time I get to the station (which was 9.6AU away form the deadspace area) my armour is down to 0 and my structure is disappearing even quicker. I come out of warp and start travelling to the station (all the while still targetted by the NPC's - whose distance in the targeting box is 9.6AU!!). All I can do is sit there and watch as my ship explodes (a shiny new scorp - fresh out of the showroom). Next thing I know, I'm back at the deadspace area in my pod. I warp out (properly this time), go to a station and cry (not literally).
So, any ideas? I'm waiting for the petition to be answered. If its lag , fair enough, but that would have been some lag. My corpmates said they saw me warp out of the belt and then next thing my pod appeared from nowhere. Hmm very strange.
Anyone else experienced this kind of thing??

Something like this happened to me long ago.
I was killing NPC rats on a level 3 mission in my Caracal, and was taking more damage than I liked, so warped out.
As with your case, several au distance did not stop the fight. Fortunately for me, I was able win, but was into structure. My target locks stayed good, and my missiles seemed to have no trouble hitting from several au distance.

This may be lag. The client displays what should be there, not what is actually happening on the server.
Illustrating this is when someone warps out of battle only to explode at whatever he warped to; or what happened to you and the gentleman two posts below your first one.

Yes this is lag, had it happening to me in a fleetfight once. I warped and "was" like 20 AU away, but my armor continued to go down and when my ship exploded I was "teleported" back to my pod at the gate. Don't bother petitioning, doesn't work.

One time I was fighting an npc cruiser in a complex when he started hitting me from 60km away. I fought this guy many times and I know that his optimal is about 20km and he shouldn't be able to hit at a range of 30km. I had autocannons equipped so I flew towards him. Oddly, after I aproached to my optimal I was not hitting him at all. It was at that point that I realized that the server thought I was in a different place than my client. I told my ship to aproach the npc and hit my afterburner. My ship smacked into him and my guns were still missing every time. After 30 seconds, they all started hitting like they should. The cruiser blew up and the can containing the 10th teir effect wasn't anywhere in sight. After looking around I discovered that the can had appeared about 80km away.
This is bad. I do not like the idea of the client not displaying what's actualy going on at the server.

Belive u dont need much tracking but a good optimal and helloff a fallout + some ficking sublight ammo.
Note With exoduse lag has been more common.
This can be offten notice with what peeps called the desync client. like u sting ontop of a can and it says u need to get with in 1500m O_o

It a synching lag with the server. That same thing happens to a much lesser digree when you rubberband at a gate and make the same approach several times.
All I know is whatever BS's these NPC's have, I want one. I watched several friendly battleships launch a salvo of 12 torpedos at an Angel BS. That did about 25% shield damage that was fixed before the next volley hit. Talk about shield tanking!
Either free the slaves or we will come and get them.

A corpmate of mine had this happen just yesterday. Unfortunately, it was against m0o, not NPC's . She showed as being in warp but was taking armor damage the whole time. She figured, "ok, lag. I'll work with it" and decided to act as if she was still in the fight. Only problem was whenever she tried to do anything, the got the "can't do that wile warping/navigating" message. So she sat in her warp tunnel and watched her ship just get torn to bits. Not cool. We all have learned how to deal with lag, but when you're powerless to act back, that's not our fault and we should be reimbursed.

Just imagine that all the enemies rounds got stuck in the warp bubble with you...

Already had such things like the client giving other distances then you actualy were. Like mining lasers have 10km range and I couldn't even start them and I was bumping on the locked roid. After a little bit more trial and error I could start those miners. Then jetison the ore for the hauler to pick up and started to look for the can. Guess what the can was 3km away from me and I could put in. As I told my gang mates they told me the can was hanging right next to me. This only happened to me after exodus.

my latest and favorite thing is getting to a gate with rats around...you jump..its says you've jumped..your ship is not there but your still at the gate and the rats are shooting you...shields gone armor about gone and your still jumping...then just before your hull goes you finally jump...now that is freaking annoying

This sort of happend to me..... I was doing some lvl2 mission... in dead space... cleared it out... and while warping back to the station... one rat spawn and locked me... he started firing.. and low and behold about 5AU away he still hit me..
I have a screenshot of it...
I just figured "Another bug for the massive collection of them"... so did not think of it further... looks like the bug is still there...
However... I could not dock at all... I tried several times (even different station) but noooo... couldn't dock...
I tried loggin off and loggin back on straight after... and voila... problem solved...

Dont think they would, as clients should be recieving updates from the server, not from other clients.

I got a similar bug once...
My kestrel was taking heavy fire and I decided to warp out. I can see the ship warp out for a short while, and then it explodes and I'm back at the starting point in my pod. Was kinda confusing, made it take longer until I was able to warp out in my pod.
In my case, the ship prolly went down while aligning and the client wasn't notified in time - like a mini version of this bug.

I have had the jumping - vanish - and then my ship explodes - and when my client has recovered - I'm sitting in the new system - in my ship with a lot of damage.. but still with my ship - and needing a new heart

Unfortunantely for you you got hit with a serious case of the "bungee" lag.
We have all seen it, the effect when the ship bounces back and forth leaving the thruster trails go far ahead of the ship.
What has happened is that the packages to and from EvE are lost or delayed, your EvE client extrapolates what should happen according to it based on available information (Ie your commands), sadly for us the players it does not matter what happens on the client, only what happens on the server.
Once connection is established the server will tell the client what really has happened and in your case *poof!* you are back in the deadspace pocket in a pod.
The reason you could see the damage done can be of any number of reasons, the most probable one being that damage packages managed to get through.
I have myself lost a ship to this, it was luckily a tech I frigg so I never bothered doing anything about it, my advice to you is to petition it and hope for the best.
Dont hold your breath tho, odds are its considered a regrettable but nonrefundable glitch.
