I thought splash damage against stargates was ignored now?
I just got spanked by sentry guns after taking on an STK-S Blackbird in my Kestrel.
I got him into armour and my 2nd volley was already in the air when the last missile from the 1st volley splashed the stargate:
[ 2004.02.28 17:57:48 ] (combat) <color=0xffbbbb00>Your Paradise Cruise Missile I hits Stargate (Luminaire), doing 0.0 splash damage.
[ 2004.02.28 17:57:50 ] (notify) For initiating combat your security status has been adjusted by -0.1000.
[ 2004.02.28 17:57:50 ] (notify) Joshua Calvert: You have foolishly engaged in criminal activity within sight of sentry guns and must suffer the consequences.
The consequences were insta-death at the hands of the sentry guns and missing killing another BB in my kestrel. Grrrrrr.
Wasn't aware stargates reacted to splash damage as of a couple of patches ago.

Josh, I think the patches just reduced the range of splash damage, though still there non the less. But I have read conficting reports on this so it may/may not happen all the time, but I am under the impression that only the radial distance of splash damage was affected by the patches.

A patch was supposed to make stargates and stations ignore splash damage.
Hmm.

As I understand it, splash damage will be removed, but that hasn't happened yet.
You might be able to find a bit more info on that in the patch review forum somewhere.

On the plus side, at least you discovered this with a frigate and not a battleship.

"Wasn't aware stargates reacted to splash damage as of a couple of patches ago."
... Was there a sentry gun close enough to get splashed, too? Some of the gates have 4-6 of those now... the log wouldn't show it (laggy lazy thing that it is) but unlike stargates the sentries don't like to be hit, and could respond in kind. o.O
edit: or there's a nearby ship that got splashed, and it didn't make it to the log for the usual reasons..?

splash dmg is ****** up... a friend of mine fired some torps and they exploded and splash dmged some other missiles, resulting in "hostile agression" and the sentry guns started to shoot him...

I'm not going to add to the petition queue just for a frigate.
I guess I'll make sure the targets aren't hugging the gates before I attack

I've been thinking about that...
If CORP A and CORP B are at war with CORP C...
A member of CORP A fires a few cruise missiles at a member of CORP C, meanwhile a member of CORP B does the same. The cruise missiles the guy from CORP B launched splashes a missile from the CORP A guy...
Will he get killed by sentrys/CONCORD?
(I was kinda afraid of this when I was looking for a guy we were at war with, together with 2 pilots from another corp also at war with them.)

The simple solution is to just remove the sentry guns. Problem solved.

Could it be that your missle did not splash the gate, but in fact impacted it directly?
I ask because a direct hit will invoke the sentries. Splash damage should not as noted.

Well since you can't destroy stargates anyway, I don't see why sentry guns would even be programmed to care.
That's just foolish, imho.
BTW, you can pretty easily get a BS outta harms way when you're being shot by sentry guns. It's when you're in a frig or cruiser that's pretty much insta-death. :)
