Player not being Damaged

I was flying Trident and was approached by FAMY member Dimello requesting credits for "warrenty". I was opposed to paying as were my gunners. We opened fired on Dimello flying Corvult and brought it down to 29%. The battle continued over several sectors thru Arta where we paused in empty sector for some shooting. The Gems fired made contact and shook this ship multiple times as we could tell from the explosions and seeing the Corvult rock around. The damage never dropped. The battle continued on into Dau in several sectors and into Nyrius and then back to Dau where I lost him and a FAMY buddy by multiple jumps to empty sectors. While in Arta at WH sector to Dau I dropped a "nuke" and destroyed BluBloodMan (spelling may be a little off) which shows it was not in our weapons or other ships that we attacked. We never say Dimello's damage drop below 29% and could count a dozen or so Gem hits.

1- We need to know how a ship can have that many solid hits and not get damaged. He was not even concerned enough with out hits to move away or try to repair in a station.
2- If it were not for this "bug" or whatever it was, I would not have dropped the "nuke" on Blu as he was called in by Dimello for assistance. And with no "nuke" there would have been no standings drop for me to rebuild.

The Battle was around 8:00 to 8:30 or so Eastern US time Sunday evening 2-10 my time.

Things like this give the game a bad rep and leaves a bad taste. My Trident was not destroyed, but that was not because Dimello was not trying. When we got away and were sure, one of my gunners got a ship with repair guns and fixed the damage.

Friendly fire is disabled in capitol systems for ships of the same nation in good standing with said nation. There is no bug, certainly not one for the Windows forum, as it has nothing to do with Windows.

Capital friendly fire RULE (read: not a bug) as tarenty points out. Yes it has nothing to do with windows (wait.. why am I on the windows forum), In any case, the rule is stupid and doesnt work with any normal gunners let along tridents and it needs to die.
