Attack Hacks??

It's been a long time since I was attacked by another CMDR but tonight, as I left Obsidian Orbital I was attacked by someone.

First hit completely knocked out my shields (I'm in a fully A rated and modded Fed Corvette with alot of shields) also disabled my shield gen and thrusters.

I didn't get a chance to see the name of the commander, only that he/she was in a Corvette also.

I have a decent specced ship, albeit I'm not really in for the PvP. I am unaware of any weapons in the game which can disable shields in one hit????

Anyone know of such things or if it's likely I was attacked by a cowardly hacker of some kind?

The same people who thought heat weapons should destroy a ship in seconds too, no need for lasers or bullets, just a hairdryer

Torpedos fly at 120m/s.. I can outrun them on foot! They are way more balanced than heat weapons.

Reverberating Cascade Torpedos aren't the problem. Anywhere other than the air lock they're easy to avoid as long as you know about them. FDEV need to deal with their use at stations, not gimp a niche weapon with difficult application in real combat.

I remember when missiles were actually good, then people moaned that they hurt their ship, I also remember when Railguns were really good, they also moaned that Railguns hurt their ship. The latest iteration is a good reason to really have a good moan imho

Yes. Its a crime&punishment issue, not a combat balance issue. A restore corvette can be rendered powerless with a simple ECM, or some situational awareness.

There is an easy fix for these balance ruining, game breaking additions from engineers. Remove them. Problem solved. Easy enough an unpaid intern could do it.

While we are at it, let's make it jus one weapon type, one shield type, one armour type, one ship type. This way everyone will be flying the same thing.

I do not have a problem with being attacked, it's a risk of playing in open that I am well aware of, I just wasn't sure if it was a legit attack or some nefarious ner-do-well using a cheat of some kind.

I will hang my head in shame and admit that I combat logged (for the first time ever) during this attack as I was sure it couldn't have been anything other than a cheat.

I see from the evidence here that despite the cowardly and underhand nature of the assault, it appears to be above board so I apologise to the universe for the CL.

Thanks for the lesson Aytal. I had no idea such ridiculously overpowered weapons existed in game.

Out of interest, how did your wing not get blown away by the station? Or do Anarchy stations not enforce their no fire zone?
