I've only experienced this twice, and once pulling it off consciously.

I was fighting Kastin Thunderbird in a tri-flare valk. I rammed him, he hit me, then I rammed him again, killing him. When it was all over, I had 87%. I distinctly remember going from 100% to 67%, then up to 87%. My last shot hit him exactly square. It's like the rockets were lined up with his three cannons. Might that have caused anything?

You were in a Valkyrie? I think that some parts of the valkyrie are more/less vulnerable than others. (namely the cockpit and wings) Could you have been hit on the wings, causing negative damage? (the wings are known to be like a shield, allowing little or no damage thru if hit in just the right manner.)

I've never heard of that... yes, we were both Valkyries.... Negative health, eh? I'd have to do some serious ramming in 16 with someone to find out though.

With the prox radius of the rockets, however, how would one part block all the damage?

Well... I'd be glad to help... my 2.5 bill shouldn't go to waste!

I think it was StarFreeze who found out about the "invul" spots on the Valk.

Yeah, SF found all the absorb spots on most of the ships, I think.

I'll find you when I'm on and we can ram each other...

I should be back at a Vendetta-capable computer on sunday, in time for FM's (FiReMaGe) Bounty hunt. I'll see what I can do about the XP comp, last time I tried, it wouldn't login. Sector 16 sound good?
