So I was out there in Belarsuk, leveling my SLF pilot, killing pirates etc.
Been there for a good hour, was running out of ammo (had couple of hundred left in 1 huge MC), and suddenly got attacked by a CMDR in FDL.
Wasn't much of an issue, pew pew'ed him away with just one cannon, without even gettined the first ring of my shields dimmed.
Was heading toward the station for refils, got interdicted by the same guy, this time in a iClipper, using thermal cascade seeker missles, but I'm way more then prepared for this 'ol trick, and with few rounds of MC ammo left, I send him running again.
I dock at the station, go on forums for a bit, come back ready to go home to Jameson Memorial, when I noticed that guy brought some mates, they are all in FDL's and are now camping the outside of the station, obviously waiting for me to come out.
I scan their ships for loadouts, nothing out of the ordinary, mainly MC's, and one of them has a Huge PA, which is not that uncommon on the FDL, so I'm like pfff, whatever, they ain't sht.
I leave the station and while lining up for a jump, i get attacked from behind, my shield is holding nicely, eh what the heck, I decide to play around with them for a bit.
After some time tho, I take a massive hit, that deletes my shields and leaves me at 40% hull in just one blow, but I don't take much damage afterwards , so I'm able to wake out succesfully, but scratching my head.
I've been sitting with pen and paper for the last 40 minutes, but I still can't figure out how that happened.
I don't recall any of them having Reverberating Cascade torpedoes, unless one of them might have had, even tho I was checking for them (my generator got destroyed and shield boosters damaged to 20-40% , which I forensicly checked in the aftermath when I landed at Jameson)
My shields and boosters are mainly resistance packed, I barely ever take damage, even in PVP (minus heat and RC torpedo builds ofc)
My hull tho is composite surface, so I was thinking that perhaps one of them who had Huge PC, had some hipster thermal conduit + SCB build which in combination with thermal debuff from composite surface armor combined might have been punch, but my Corvette is infact packed with resistance hull reinforcements, so it really shouldn't have taken 60% dmg in one strike, and after which I basically took 3% damage charging FSD, so the armor was definitely holding.
I'm a bit gobsmacked , I will admit, I can't seem to figure out the missing variable here, anyone have any ideas?
Btw, just to be clear, I don't have issues with the gankers themselves, well played to them in fact
