A couple of weeks ago myself and some other commanders shared a list of names of suspected cheaters we had encountered and the player In question was reported nearly a month ago for disappearing and suspiciously powerful weapons
However if he were hacking, he would have been banned by now
It just so happened that last night I saw this player with a 40,000 bounty and I interdicted him (I didn't realise until after who he was as I'd forgotten)
He was flying an imperial clipper and so was I, so fair game I thought
Now I'm running a B7 shield generator and all A grade equipment with 2 B rating rail guns and 2xC3 gimballed beams
I know that against elite anacondas I can beam them for 10 seconds and hit them twice with my railguns bringing their shields down by 1 ring
So I beamed him and he deployed chaff so I switched to fixed mode and continued firing, I hit him with a rail gun shot (both rail guns hit) and a second rail gun shot
His shields didn't flinch, no damage and no ring lost (even with the clippers shields at A7 they would be weaker than the damage I can do to an anaconda)
He may have had 4 pips to shields but he was continuously firing the whole time
His loadout was 1x burst laser and 1x pulse laser and 2 missile racks
He then used ONLY his burst laser and my shields fell to 1 ring in about 7 seconds, chaff had no effect so I assumed he had fixed weapons
I know he only used ONE burst laser as a few seconds later he fired with his pulse laser as well, I then proceeded to use 8 shield cells in a row, each time he took my shields to 1 ring in 5-8 seconds with a single burst laser that didn't break in firing
He didn't use missiles as at one point I FA offed and spun around firing backwards
My weapons managed to damage his shield by about half a ring but the second I stopped firing it immediately restored to full
So I tried to FSD away and it wasn't working right, even against an anaconda it doesn't take this long, it took at least a full minute to charge, he also kept up with me while firing non stop when I 4 pipped my engines and 2 pipped my shields
over the course of the fight I used 8 shield cells without a break
If someone can explain a single burst laser doing this much damage when my weapons did virtually nothing id like to know
Im getting fed up of this, if this is indeed a hacker again then this is the 4th very suspicious player I've encountered and it also means he hasn't been banned even though he was reported weeks ago by someone else
I didn't fully realise his name until after the battle as i thought I recognised or and consulted my list of cheaters and he was on there
If he was hacking, he clearly hasn't been banned and if he wasn't, then what happend? As I know I can take a volly from an elite anaconda and suffer less shield damage and that's from multiple weapons
However if he were hacking, he would have been banned by now
