FSD disabled with it Shields up?

I was killed yesterday by a player during the alien event. The guy stopped my highwake count down with Shields still up. I'm wondering how this was done considering he never got closer than 2km?

Engineer special effects.
 
Certain engineer weapon mods allow damage to bypass shields - not sure if they can disable modules this way, but I am guessing that is what happened here.
 
sounds to me like using a Pulse Disruptor (felicia winters powerplay weapons triggering random malfunctions) with Phasing Sequence (bypassing shields).
 
There is engineer modifications that allow you to do damage through shields. Lasers that by pass shields (blue lasers with winters pp weapon) can take out modules while shields are up, weapons that increase the target ships heat (shields give zero defense against heat) (red laser, but also available for missiles an some other weapon types) so they will burn themselves from inside. When ships heat is over x your modules will take damage and malfunction until you are death or heat is under x. Heat is basically stun lock and if you use fsd, shoot your own weapons or do anything that add heat to your ship you will make your situation worse because your ships heat is high from other player fire and you add more to that. Heat sink is only way to counter heat weapons but that won't by a lot of time.

There is also mine that disable all ships fsd near it.

My FSD was not damaged with the shields up, it just stopped charging. It started charging again straight away, but by this time my shields were almost gone.

If it was the pulse disruptor your telling me I was just unlucky. Still seems Over powered if it can disable modules with shields up

Probably a torpedo using the mass lock munitions special effect.

Mass Lock should only affect supercruise, not high wake. No to mention it should only slow the charging not stop it.

Sounds like mass lock torpedo then.

"Mass Lock Munition
Experimental warheads incorporating frame shift technology. Successful detonation significantly inhibits charging for Supercruise"

... still OP would have get a "incoming missile warning".

beside keeping 2 km range means he probably flew faster then any torpedo...

Yeah flying an ASP with A-grade thrusters and a level 5 clean tuning mod.

Good point. Shift lock mines maybe? No idea how they could be used from 2km away though.


"Shift-Lock Canister: Experimental munitions that cause all frame shift drives caught in the blast radius to reboot, at the cost of reduced damage."

Seems it's not just me confused by this. :)

did you ask the one who did it? when ever i wondered what happened, i dropped a friends request and asked ... first of all, i have a nice friends list of pirates and action for free through that, second i learned a lot.

but still, my guess is pulse disruptor + phasing sequence.
