I am participating the current CG in the Angent system.
Have been ganked three times and lost my ship once (ouch)
What interests me though is how quickly my shields are getting dropped for good.
Now, not sure how much strength my shields have, but using Coriolis Shipyard, its likely something north of 3,000 MJ absolute. Translation, pretty strong. Here's some detail:
- Ship: Anaconda
- Shields: 7A
- Engineering: G5 Reinforced with HiCap effect
- Boosters: x 4 engineered.
- Have 2 module reinforcement modules fitted.
Back to the ganks. Drop into a haz res to bounty hunt. Attacked by real players. Two times they waited until I was leaving the res, presumably because my weapons were already depleted so an easier target. However, the second and third occasions are more interesting. On both occasions my shields were at full strength. Here's what happened:
- Shields completely dropped in around 5 seconds.
- Shield generator at 0% in module tab AND would not regenerate shields even with full power.
- No cockpit warnings e.g. taking heat, impulse attack, FSD failure, etc.
Only other bit of useful information is that when I went into the module tab to check the status of the shield generator, it was blanked out and stayed that way - could not be repaired. Had to repair at the station.
So for those in the know, what sort of shield killing weapon am I dealing with here?
Edit - if it is a cascade torp shot without warning, what's the counter?
Edit - Just to be clear, shields weren't just dropped. They were irrevocably busted both times.
