Does the netcode have issues keeping up with dancing A-classes, or something? It seems that far too often, when someone is down to the last few percent of health, I just can't seem to do any more damage to them. I'll "hit" them, and get the flashing crosshair, but not actually do any damage. Am I just imagining things?

Depending on where you are, but I've gathered this info as a general rule.

 

In a perfect world where these servers were all the same distance away from you this would be accurate.

In the case where hitreg is the issue, do you still get the yellow flicker "hit indication"?

No, if you get that you are definitely hitting them. They are probably using deflector/fuel conv/extractor builds, which makes killing them while they dance on orbs very difficult.

IMO the only part of that worth considering a "general rule" is that dalas fuzzy bunnyng sucks

Netcoding can be a pain sometimes... some games have very good netcode (Like Robocraft, the servers are in UK and I'm in AU, yet it's like no lag at all) but others including hawken lead to having users needing to aim ahead of their targets with hitscan weapons.

 

Oh and btw original poster that's some nice furry art :)

Pretty sure you're just choking.  Happens to me more often than I'd like to admit.

Thanks. A friend of mine drew that for me. Still one of my favorite renditions of my character.

Feel free to send me a friend request in Elite. I'm not really aligned with anyone, but I fly a federal ship, for what it's worth! Although, I'm going to be fighting against Hudson soon, I think- my current "home" system is powerplay neutral, and I'd like to keep it that way.

Entirely possible. The fact that I'm getting the little yellow flicker hit indication is quite confounding, though.

I have not yet ruled out that some of this exact thing is due to some kind of cheating.

 

On multiple occasions I have engaged a few players who are very 'new' (in that they are in the beginner mechs and very low ranked) who cannot be brought below like 10 health points.  You can literally catch them off guard, pump all the ammo and rockets up their tail-pipe that you have and they will never lose those last drops of health from enemy fire.  The only way they will die is if they fall or damage themselves.

 

Waaaaaayyyy back in the day, there was a lead Q/A guy at Adhesive who (despite what the developers told him was the case) was also convinced of these cheaters and played many matches with me over the course of 3 weeks looking for and logging the matches when we'd find them.  He told me he could not tell me exactly what they had found in the logging or what action they had taken, but he said, "If you tell me you see those same players again, I will know you are lying to me. wink wink" after one particular match where we encountered them.  I never saw those names again, but the same nonsense would still occasionally pop up with other 'new' players.

I've notice this problem, when enemy a-class have a "walking internal" (increase run speed on % when you HP less than 25-50%)
Than mech with <50% HP start moving like "twitching", and it is very hard for me hit him with hitscan (even if I use flak).
I actually hate enemies with this internal.

The excitement to get a kill overcomes the ability to aim.  :pirate:
