I have screenshots of the combat log to prove it.
I was just minding my own business, when another player fired at me, hit me a few times with flanking damage, and left me a smoking sparky corpse.
It took realization so long to find me...it was so unexpected, that even if I had realized what was happening I wouldn't have fought back because of the absurdity of the notion of "Fighting Back!"

A Gorn did the Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (sp) and brought me back, but I was in fact DEAD!
The other players around were surprised as well. I was told later by 1 player that it was the first time he'd ever seen anyone get pk'd anywhere outside of the PVP zones.
Is this a bug or a fluke, or is PVP breaking out EVERYWHERE?
(If you want to see my screenshots...let me know HOW I can post them, as I am new to this forum thingie.)
(Also...to the player who shot me...I harbour no ill-will nor grudges. But I will be watching now...):eek:

Only Dstahl or Gecko would use such exploit in order to prove the fair and balanced game they have created.
I can't see either of their days being any harder than making a decision to TRIBBLE pvp just a little or maybe a whole lot with any upcoming patch.

I've seen it a couple of times, it's an exploit of some sort.

I don;t do PvP (well twice. Last time was several months ago) and have had the same issue at Bajor. I brought it up in another thread and folks said I was involved with a mission that I wasn't.
Sounds more like a feature to me.
Call down Security Escorts as a Tac and log out, they become hostile to the opposing faction. If you've summoned enough with purple security officer duty officers, you could theoretically kill an AFK player and they could move onto other players before they despawn.
The other, which sounds like what happened in this case, is someone did the same as above but with the Shard of Possibilities or whatever it's called. They seem to hit harder than security escorts, so just those two could blow someone up before they despawn.
I've been the target of it twice so far, and as far as I know, the only ways to combat it is to summon pets of your own (turrets, cover shields, shard clones, security), outheal the damage, or hope to kill them all with melee strikes.
It's all in good fun to watch, but kind of a **** move in most situations. The only time I really hope the pet spam kills people is if it's the ERPers on Drozana Station.
Fanfiction! ZOMG! Read it now!
