Invisible attackers

Mar 24, 2022 csgno1 link
In brac b14 about ten minutes ago was attacked by invisible ships that were also not on radar, not tarketable, firing on me with no name associated with it until the last shot. From b14 I jumped into a storm in D7 and still couldn't see or target the attackers.

I chatted with IonicPaul when I saw his name on the kill-shot. I asked him if YT was there the whole time because I saw his sector chat at the end but never saw his ship either. He confirmed.

I did not think to check the sector list at the time.

I want to add that even after exiting my trident in D7 there was nobody on radar or visible but was taking damage.

Also, rocket hits made sound but not energy weapons.

From the stickied "How to Report a Bug" post:

3) Please always include your device, operating system, video card / graphics adapter if applicable, and any other hardware or software that you may have been using at the time of the bug.

5) Please try to replicate the issue without any plugins installed. Do not state that you don't have to do this because plugins have nothing to do with the problem - because it might.

To clarify: were IonicPaul and YT in the sector with you?

This sounds eerily similar to what happened during Nation War 482. Where near the end there were 4 surviving ships, but one of those ships wasn't on the radar. That ship killed 2 people (his ship was invisible or at least nowhere in the vicinity and his shots came from a black spot that wasnt targetable (background), then sometime after the kills he showed up 4k away.

Whistler,

Macbook pro, the same machine I've been using for VO for 6 years.

I cannot replicate this bug, and I hope I never do. I understand there will be no specific fix for this, I just wanted to let the programmers know that this can happen, and has.

IonicPaul and YT were the ones attacking my ship according to IonicPaul, but I had to ask them because I did not see any evidence of them except for damage coming seemingly from nowhere, and the kill-shot notification at least told me who to ask.

Thank you.

Ya I'm not trying to offend you - I'm trying to help you by getting the devs the info they need to track down the issue.

Were you using plugins?

Yes, but nothing new for over a month. If a list is desired, can this be continued in a ticket?
