Your own missiles hitting your own ship...

Has anyone else noticed a visual bug with your own missiles hitting your own ship?

Specifically, missiles in a group are spread out on sisi (think swarm), thus the missiles don't all hit at the same time (which is very nice eye candy.) When the first few missiles in a salvo/swarm are enough to destroy a target (e.g. NPC frigates,) the remaining missiles in the group would backtrack and hit my Tengu. (This was at ~<20km with a T2 missile speed rig.) No damage was done to my Tengu, it's strictly an odd visual effect.

Yes, same here with Torp Golem. Missiles come back and hit the ship with no dmg ... maybe the missiles try to return to the bay ... erm ... launcher ... Big smile

Interesting. Before I file a formal bug report, I'll see if my ammo count in the launchers or in the cargo hold goes up due to the missiles "returning home" for reuse.

Somebody also reported tractor unit points tractor beam at their ship so I guess it is something more than just homesick missiles :)

There is a pretty old bug where other people on grid shooting at a third party will have the weapon effects rendered as if they're hitting your ship. It often happens shortly after landing on grid or large fleet warps.
It's probably related to the client not getting around to rendering the poor target yet, so the weapon effects getting rendered default back to your own ship.

It's purely cosmetic, if a little intimidating :)

That was supposed to be fixed in one of the last few patches, maybe an expansion or two back at most. I haven't noticed it since.

Blanking signatures doesn't seem to work, so this is here.

Turrets do it too.

I can confirm that turrets do it as well. Saw it the other day in a pulse laser fit phantasm.

just as a side note

im also getting missile hits randomly with no one else on grid, with guns fitted, not activated and not targeting anything. they dont do damage and there is no notification either....
