Hull damage after submitting?

I just had an interdiction with a pirate NPC, the first thing I do is submit, As I drop out of SC, I suddenly have haul damage? My shields are still full. Not sure is this just a rare random thing or is this the new norm? :rolleyes:

I interdicted an NPC, he tried to resist but I won the mini-game, but after dropping neither of us lost Hull strength and I wasn't fined either...
This only happened once though during a period of Interdicting NPCs that had expected results. Sometimes I think it just gets a little confused.
 
Again with Hull damage after submitting?

Anyone else getting this lately? I was had an interdiction (NPC) so as normal I submit to fight. Suddenly I have hull damage and sitting at 92% hull with full shields? After killing the would be pirate again I'm awarded no bounty. I was not in an anarchy system and I know I had the killing blow. What gives? Also yes, the ship was showing wanted.
 
If you were in an Anarchy system, then it's unlikely they were showing as wanted. In Anarchy systems you need to use a kill Warrant Scanner.

As to the damage from submitting, sometimes things go sideways and you actually lost the fight in super quick time. I've seen this an odd time or two.
 
It's happened to me twice, one time the (NPC) interdictor was Deadly and the other Elite, both times it was Eagles. I'm Competent in a trading asp. Maybe it's got to do with how maneuvrable the other guy's ship is?

Read the post again.

I've only had this happen when they succeeded at the last second. It was still clear that they won the interdiction due to the text saying fsd failure. I don't know about the no bounty thing. Ticket it if it continues.

I'm not sure it was with an interdiction, but I have been attacked by ships that have not been set as wanted despite having attacked me first. I have the 'report crimes' option on so they should be reported. However in these cases, they remain with status of 'Clean'.

Re ship damage after interdiction. I've had the odd instance, but it might have been because I started to fight the interdiction then decided to give in after a bit.
... mine you you'd expect that to do less damage. 8% loss seems quite high .. for me it is usually more like 1-2%. What ship are you in?

What ship was you flying? I submit every time I get an npc interdiction (I play in closed) for the bounty in my cobra III and have never taken any hull damage from it. Is it just a problem with the larger ships? does it only happen in open play?

I was in my T-7. As soon as the screen pops up of an interdiction, I lower throttle to zero. This time the damage brought me to 92%. On a T-7 that was 930 credits to fix so that's really not the main issue. If this is normal and does happen from time to time which others are saying that's fine. No big.

As for the no bounty, I do have report crimes on. I did have help arrive. They were showing wanted in the screen. I didn't take any screenshots this time, even though I'm the queen of screenshots ;)

I already have a ticket in for another one, I don't want to keep making tickets as I'm sure it will take a month plus to get to and for only 2000 or so credits.

I have made an artist rendition of the event for evidence.

It happens to me frequently, it's almost reproduceable if I'm alt-tabbed out when the interdiction begins and I have to activate the game window again. No matter how fast I slam the throttle to zero and submit, their side of the mini-game bar flies up to full red and I get FSD failure and take damage.

I've been interdicted a number of times tonight and not taken any hull damage when submitting. Not seen any lag issues though.
 
I've always had this bug, it's not constant but it's regular enough to be annoying. Throttling down or just flying straight gives you an instant win sometimes as well.
 
I've had it happen to me a couple of times in the past few weeks, but always when the target has shot out of view. It takes a second or two for the submission to 'kick in', and if you don't stay pointing somewhere in the vicinity of the target crosshairs, you can lose the interdiction in that period and end up with damage. Could that be the case here?
