Today I did an honorable 1vs1 with some guy in lowsec.
He was in an autocannon armorrepping myrm and I was in my terrible Phantasm. After 10 minutes of being webbed, scrammed and shot at I finally managed to blow him up.
After I wanted to see what he was fit like, I noticed I was missing the killmail. Besides gloating over the pretty numbers and showing it off to all my spacefriends I just wanted to see what he was fit like and how much damage it took till he finally went down.
Has this happened to anyone before? He didnt log off, there were no other parties involved and he didnt self-destruct.

You got the good 1v1 fight. Those are hard to come by these days. What's the problem?Smile

Don't gloat over terribad fit Myrm that can't kill a phantasm. Be a trooper.

I don't know.

But I see you brought down a Merlin in a Tormentor. And here I thought they were just for mining.

TBH he wasnt terribad. His drones almost ate me and I was dual active tanking, guess he was aswel. At the end I had only 1 booster left. Half the fight I was just trying to keep range at him so his autocannons didnt wreck me on top of the hammerheads. He started with a bunch of ogres but I got those down pretty quick. I just want to see the KM.

A - if you killed a myrm in a phantasm, that myrm pilot fails hard as ****.
B - Realizing his massive failure at being a competent pvp pilot, he probably self destructed before you got the final blow. People do this all the time to avoid a loss mail.

FC, what do?

Yeah, Tormentors finally live up to their name now.

Or, depending on settings, the dmg notifications covered up sd messages.

A - With the new shield boosters the Phantasm tanks very very decent
B - the logs showed he exploded after my lasers hit him for - damage

If you want, we can do a 1vs1 on SiSi sometime. Normal T2 fits, no faction rubbish

Please send a petition to Customer Support to see what they can dig up for you (and possible what they can bug report to development).

I filed a petition ingame to the combat something section, hope it arrives to the proper people. Thanks for the response.

I had a 1v1 today, my glorious Tristan vs a Rifter. He escaped on structure :( Damn good fight though.

I always thought 1v1's were some dark rumour. It would now appear they are not.

I lied :o

Maybe he ejected while he was in structure. Then the ship will explode because the Pilots skills for +XX% structure are missing.

IIRC sometimes mails come out deformed or fail to come out completely based on load on the node at the time, as they are given a relatively low priority. At least that's what I've been told via petition once in the past (the time in question I was in an 8 man gang killing a rorqual and didn't show up on the mail, despite podding the guy. I was mad Lol.)

So if I do something stupid in my supercapital, no worries -- just time your eject in structure and you can deny everyone the killmail with no possible counter.

Yeah, that sounds like great game design. I look forward to the next time a titan denies a km to 250+ people just by clicking eject, and all those people get to find out what "working as intended" means.

In my experience dual rep myrmidons like to self destruct when they realize they are going to die the second they run out of cap boosters.

Although being from highsec my experience is skewed because of the unrelenting cowardice you get in these parts.
