Today I met a CMDR, who was docked at the guardian site in the Interstellar Initiative system. Another potential thargoid hater, I thought. I decided to make a little trouble for this ASPE, so I aimed at his cargo hatch and pulled my trigger. A single railgun. Now here's the thing. He had shields, which didn't fade a bit. Yeah, we'll see, I thought. So I pulled my other trigger. 4 plasma accelerator, two rounds while the ship undocked and low waked (dismissed maybe, didn't pay too much attention). Even if it has maximized shields, which it apparently does not, this should've made a difference. Well it didn't. Those shields just won't budge. I noticed while this is strange, it's also contradictory, because if this CMDR is invulnerable, he wouldn't have fled.
A couple of minutes later I travelled to the same site. This CMDR's ship was already back there. Bold enough. His shield and hull integrity was the same as when he left (hull 98% which I assume caused by emergency stop, and my phasing didn't do a thing). This time I started shooting PAs immediately. After several rounds the ship finally started to register damage, and exploded after a few more shots (no, the damage didn't go exactly with the shots). He didn't cheat to be invulnerable.
I have not participate in PVP activities a lot so my knowledge is probably limited. I know lag is something, but this is new to me. He didn't teleport while his ship left. For the record, this is the second time in the same system I've encountered this unregistered damage. It just happened, with no other signals of anomaly. Here comes my one question: Why did it happen?
