CQC Question about assist

[Virgile]

Hi

I was wondering how assist exactly work.

Do you just need to fire once at someone that then get killed (even five minutes later)?

Do you need to make a certain ammount of damage?

Do you need to shoot when health is weak?

I know it's definitely possible to get an assist with just one minor plink in passing on a target when someone else does 99% of the work.

I suspect it's the 2nd most recent source of damage rather than anything amount based.

Interesting.

I thought the 50 pts of the assist could be distributed to more than one cmdr.

I'm pretty sure multiple people can get assists from the same kill - and "2nd-to-last" seems unlikely since I've got assists from people I haven't seen for quite a while.

The threshold might be either "any hull damage" or some substantial amount of shield damage, perhaps.
