Some wierd shit just happened!
TL:DR; Unrat dent exploded so fuckin' hard just a few minutes ago that it took out my goliath.
Only extraneous circumstance that I figure I oughta report outside of the usual plugin/skin shenanigans is my client's been running for more than a day and I got my first "brace yourself for incoming captcha" while I was driftin' in I8 earlier.
Apart from that uhhh I didn't get the shield collapse message, I was dicking around with the unrats earlier but a I couldn't find the message in the logs or in my chatbox so unless there's an exception where the shield collapsed message isn't broadcasted if the cap is in the same sector well it's definitely a bug or my shitty config.

[06/02/25 19:07:22] [TGFT] <Galactica Actual> anyone kill it. I dont need it.
[06/02/25 19:07:42] [Itan] <spidey> I swear my goliath was shielded a second ago when i parked it
[06/02/25 19:07:48] <Ren Aar> crap though we were all in sector

[06/02/25 19:08:43] <Ren Aar> lol, mine just reshielded
[06/02/25 19:09:01] <Ren Aar> so i called it back in to the fight
[06/02/25 19:09:04] [Itan] <spidey> hmmm either it's my fault because I left my client running overnight... or some buggy **** just happened
I debated posting this because... yeah it's not going to be affecting most folks; hopefully it's not a waste of your time.
There's a good probability this is pure incompetence on my part but yeah the dent's explosion took out the goliath and as far as i know it was shielded.
PS: I got the captcha warning but the captcha never showed up; and i have no idea if I satisfied it by alt tabbing back to my client or changing sectors but yeah.

How close was your Goliath to the pirate Trident when it went off? (We'll check this stuff internally from the logs, but just "ballpark idea" for now would be helpful).
Some of the capship explosions are pretty intense for short distances, and then have a big dropoff in damage.

Ballpark guesstimate 100m I was already about a km away in the dent when it exploded, mouse switches have been acting fucky again lately too.
And in retrospect I should've added that it happened very much inside the field of wrecks and debri so yeah not the easiest conditions for the sector/client given there were three of us in there.

Oh, so there may have been more going on here than just the explosion impact.
The dynamic debris is impacted by explosion force, and is itself a collidable object. So, it's not that hard to get a force-multiplier in a debris-dense environment with a major explosion, where you're getting "explosion" damage applied as well as "collision" damage from piece of accelerated debris smashing into you.
I don't think it's likely to have been problematic for the performance of the sector, although it's always possible.
Anyway, I don't know, we'll have to investigate. I don't know when we'll get to it, there's a lot on the plate right now. Please let us know if you see any similar instances.
