Bug in warp vulnerability

Aug 21, 2005 Screwball link
I have been doing some botting recently and noticed that if they shoot me as I warp out, I don't seem to take any damage, or possibly only take damage for the first fraction of a second. This doesn't seem correct, given the new warp in/out vulnerability.

In my experience, in-system jumps are invulnerable to bots, but warping through WHs is vulnerable to bots. I have very thoroughly tested this w/ strike forces. I haven't tested it very well with players.

In in-system jumps, or warping through WHs? I thought I made it clear, I AM damaged by bots warping through WHs, but during the in-system jumps, I am not. Although I haven't tested it since these last two patches, so it may have been fixed.

[edit]
Nope, I still go through in-system jumps getting shot and hit by Strike Force, but I take no damage. Maybe I'm just special, Kix.

I'm with Beolach, I was getting pounded by dentek assualts while I was in a heavily laden moth, I was in an Ion storm (I havent tried to run away from bots when I mean to be in a bot sector) and the second I jumped they couldnt hurt me.

I have also been nailed at worm holes by strikeforces.

I'm with beolach too... took a good 2 secs of fire from 3 tycorps while jumping out of a storm in my Vulture, and they didn't even scratch the paint.

I'm guessing there is a different bug at fault. For a long time alignment between a ship's current vector and the warp animation has been tough to pull off. It is probable that the hit recorded on your end does not concur with that of the server's.

I actually think that bots break off attack O_o?

I'm not exactly sure how weapons fire from bots and weapons fire from players differs, but I've been killed while doing an in-system jump by other players and killed a couple of other players who were doing an in system jump.

I've been killed trying to do an in-system jump.
It actually happened to me last Friday when I was setting up the Dr. Girlfriend event.

I was hunting queens today and each time I was warping out I didn't take any damage from the bots, even though I clearly saw their shots hitting me...

Well, I had quite a few bots and queens shooting at me today and every time I managed to run away by warping. I was receiving *lots* of hits but lost no hull points during the warp sequence.
