Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Was doing some ratting in QWF-6P dealing with the regular belt rats (serpentis rats that ALWAYS damp) and then they started MWDing away at 1+km/s.. nothing I was really concerned about seems they were small rats. (im there for the shadow derpentis and BS rats)

I was just going to finish off the 1 I was on and move on, but once I was finished the 1 I wanted, I realized that the remaining 3 should have been beond my (dampened) targeting range of 49km, and still locked.. being confused I opened my fitting window to check what my dampened range is, and it was 49. About right for dampened belt rats, and by that time it was 100km out..

So i unlocked, relocked, talked to a corp mate trying to figure out what was going on.

Ohh yea. The 2 hobgoblins were able to snipe the rat they were engaged to from about 200-250 km away. they hit for their regular damage but from an incredible distance :o

I was able to hold lock to about 750km, then warped away, tried on another rat and it was back to normal..

the single image I was able to pop is there.. just the times where I need fraps :(

But yea figured this should be put here.. I havn't been able to replicate it, and have never had it happen before

If you need anymore information on the incident, or if this is a known glitch I would love to know before I get sniped by hobgoblins from 250km away :s

Thanks very much !
