Can someone tell me how this was even possible, possible hacker.....again

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

He was probably spamming small shield cells from the moment you started firing. But if you suspect him of cheating, submit a ticket and request a response.

Even with that, power of the burst laser seems quite suspicious.

@lonewarrior: If you'd like to do some friendly shield testing clipper vs clipper ingame, send me a friend invite in game, it's the same nick.
 
It's obvious there are hackers yet Frontier seem to do nothing to counter them apart from the little anti hack they have which can be disabled very easily....

This.

Activate them at the very beginning of your shields taking fire. It will look like you are invulnerable.
 
Shield cell activation has a very distinctive animation so next time watch out for that. Also use shadowplay or a similar application if you are in the position to constantly experience this sort of stuff.

From what you reported I'm inclined to yell "foul play" but ... it's only your subjective perspective so I won't.
