Is it possible to kill a Viper MkIII with one shot from 2 med railguns?

[CMDR Zadian Lichtfrost]

I'm currently slightly confused. I don't think it's possible, but that's just what I've seen.

Viper MkIII with almost no shields (rings barely visible) getting a frontal hit from 2 medium railguns, hull down to 0% and destroyed ship.
How is that possible? I've never seen two medium rails dealing that much damage.

from the numbers a viper should end with something like 25-30% hull after that, if i do the math right.

with imperial hammers, though - or an engineer upgrade --- possible.

...or if said Viper had low structural integrity. Though I don't believe NPCs suffer from this.

huh? is there a mod that gets hull down?

if thta viper did not explode from 0% hull, it could well be a lucky double hit of a powerplant.

Thanks for the replies. (Had to sleep, that's why I reply so late)

I don't have boosted railguns. The NPC probably didn't have low structural integrity - not sure about that, would be interesting to know and a strange way to include variation.

I'm currently thinking that I hit the Viper with the rails and then the Viper hit the edge of my shields - the Viper was very close. Might have been my slow reaction time (tired) that resulted in me thinking it was one event.

Guess I should have used a screen capture software.

The Viper had 0% hull while exploding.

Hehe, maybe. We haven't discovered all engineers.
But what I meant was structural integrity of the hull. If it's low, it acts like a debuff for the hull strength (the "hitpoints") if I understand that right.

It was hit by a warp ball? Asari confirmed!

I'm not surprised, probably a stock Viper

ah. npc exploring viper npc? that only makes up for 10% hulldamage (e.g. hutton oribital 4 times= integrity 0)

Wasn't 0% integrity something like 30% hull strength modifier? Could be wrong, it's quite some time since they posted the stats... Anyway I don't believe NPCs are suffering from integrity.
