im posting this here because i figure that most of the people here are likely to have encountered this bug, given it was mid-combat. i wish to know if this has happened to anyone else, and why if possible.
so anyway, im flying my eos, i find and engage a megathron 1v1, i am using Heavy Ion IIs, which are medium guns and i have no damage mods fitted. upon locking. he has a little shield damage and about 3/4 armour. i learn by his killmail that he had aa lot of armour plates fitted. 6 i think. whatever this would put this guy over 20k armour probably.
i start shooting the dude, i get him to about half shield and then all of a sudden, a pod appears and his ship blows up. i think to myself "mustve been lag" and trundle off to my safespot reading all the extremely hiarious threats im getting in local from this guy. i check my log and i see something very wierd.
This
no medium gun should be able to do that. it wasnt a wrecking. i have no damage mods on. wtf? id expect it to be a bug if it said 20k damage or whatever, because then id assume it was lag and it had accumulated all of my damage i did in the lag spike into one entry, and thats how much damage i wouldve had to have done to kill a mega with that many 1600 plates on. but its just small enough to raise strange questions as to why its that high and low enough to wonder what the hell happened to his ship.

It has happened a lot, especially on freighters. Bug has been around for a bit.
If he petitions he'll be reimbursed.

honestly, i hope he does. because then he can come back in the same ship and die again. its just that the damage in that hit is bugging me cos i dont know what the hell is going onw ith it.
ive had other players report to me theyve had very strange bugs happen to them today too, although completely different ones. like losing ships and having no modules on the loss mail at all. everything "apparently" surviving.

i was chasing a stabbed up war target in my AC proph once. locked him when he jumped into the other side of the gate and he exploded before he even got into warp, hit him for a few 1000 damage per gun 
edit: ive had it happen a lot (really helpful when you gotta kill someone quick after you probe them when they logged :D)
It's great flying Amarr, ain't it? |

I was bored running a level3 in my Vagabond while I was bored, I got some sort of refresh problem, went from half shields to pod in less than three seconds. I nearly fell out of my chair.
So it's not just players but NPC's too.

thing is though, this seems to me like the kind of bug that would require an immediate hotfix, regardless of it being downtime or not, or even still just an extended downtime or something. its blatantly obvious that in this forum section alone that im not the only one with guns that suddenly start owning everything in sight on thier own free will, and should be adressed quickly because its the kind of bug that has the potential to start flame wars over combat and kills where a big wrecking with decent skills can be "confused" with the bug. also, i can imagine the large influx of reimbersment mails from people who claim that thier ship destruction was infact the freak accident of uber-hitting random guns and not as a result of them warping into a gatecamp they thought wasnt there. petitioning soley because they have a new excuse to base the petition on.

Sorry if its offtopic (or is it). but if he had six plates fitted and then ejected (ie, knew he was going to die and wanted to save his pod) does the ships armor level still stay at base+plates or does it resort to base?

Not that I disagree with the point I think it should be looked into ASAP, it is a nasty bug to happen. When it does happen though the damage done is impossible regardless of whether it is claimed to be wrecking shots or not.
It does a LOT more damage than a wrecking shot so easy to check if it was a bug. What is funny, is if you get an instance of 4+ volleys like this from all fitted guns then get shouted at for not ransoming . Petitioned and reimbursed of course....but still funny.
Think its only gun related too, never seen it happen to missiles.
