What the just happened? Exploded with 100% hull, shields not down!

I was just fighting one of those Elite Anacondas, nothing too special, I've dealt with a few before. I had the enemy at around 70-80% hull, my shields were about halfway down, so I decided to use a shield cell. 1-2 seconds later, suddenly my HUD vanishes and I'm told "EJECT, EJECT, EJECT" before exploding for no reason whatsoever, at 100% hull, with shields. What the hell gives?

Plasma. its the über weapon of Anaconda
 
Is the Plasma Accelerator that very visible and slow projectile? I've seen Anacondas shooting that before, but they never hit me yet. In this case, I didn't even see a shot at all, and it'd be pretty hard not to notice it coming right at me.

Bwahahahahahah.. Annaconda .. Flawless victory

It's hardly "Flawless" when its hull is down to about 70-80%.
 
I know this excuse has been used many times for immediate deaths but while you pressed your shield cell button
could you have also hit jumpdrive / supercruise button as well ??

No, I couldn't. And all it would've done if I had, is telling me that I can't supercruise with deployed hardpoints, no?
 
Does anyone have any other possible explanations to offer? Otherwise I'll assume that there was either a visual glitch going on to make the Plasma shot invisible, or that I was incredibly blind.
 
Well...
i just went to dock, went inside station and told " trespass warning "...
I have a L6, and by the time I turned around to get out, the station opened fire on me destroying my ship and 2 hours worth of rare collecting.
I had no previous convictions with station or that system.....
How on earth anyone can steer an L6 back out in that a mount of time is beyond me.
Not sure exactly what had caused the trespass notice, annoying and very unforgiving all the same.

You either forgot to request docking, failed to notice it had failed or cancelled it.

You reverse out (and hold your breath). :)

I've been nailed by an invisible plasma shot, before. The anaconda was pointing at me. I was looking right at it. Nothing came out (except beams everywhere), and suddenly I most most definitely hit by a plasma accelerator. Got out of there with like, 5% hull remaining.
 
May be your important modules broken with that damage which are causing catastropic failure =) if your Thrusters / Power core get %0 hp u ll die and its not matter how much hp u have .. i killed all anacondas with damage to their power cores.. and they exploded around %50 hull hp
 
Plasma accelerators are very subtle but 1 hit kill weapons for small ships.

I say we do NOT nerf this gun, But make it more obvious that the anaconda is shooting us with it, you can barely see the plasma bolt. Like maby a really loud charge up sound coming off the anaconda as a tell tale sign of
