Issues, Workarounds & Localization

maybe your Sec status / standing vs pos owner was below the treshold of the pos (it can be set to shoot any ppl under +5 standing for example).

in such case, even if you have access to the forcefield via pwd, exiting forcefield will end by the pos attacking you.

or you were under "suspect" timer, and pos is set to shoot at tagged ppl.

btw, the lock time of a pos is so long you could have warped away before it even engaged you, i managed to do it with a double plated trimarked megathron, after we were wing warped to a hostile pos by mistake, and pos had not enought time to lock us, even the small batteries.

so if you were on shot, you were certainly in a smaller ship (shuttle / noobship / frig sized) thus you could have warped away between the message and the pos actually engaging you

and taking a 1000 hit doesn't mean the pos has 1000 dps fyi, it mean it was able to alpha for at least 1000.

if the alpha (volley) is 1000, and the ROF is 1s, then it is 1000 dps, if the ROF is 2s, then it is 500dps etc...

and while i can understand 1000dps sounds (or in this case, looks) impressive, you might want to know that it is pretty common for a battleship class to be able to deal 1000+ dps, even some battlecruisers can do it since the introduction of the tiers 3 BC, so for a starbase, not that much of a deal, they are made to resist to fleets / capital ships able to deliver up to 10 000dps (a single dreadnought can field up to 10 000 dps), so they need a firepower that matches, so yes, when hitting "little" things, it hurts a bit

glad you find the explanation usefull, and yes, 1000 sounds impressive, but you'll see fast enought that it is, in fact, not!
