I photoned into a sector i was in the sector before the photon residue resided. Here is a screen shot from my side. Unfortunately the OTHER side would not send me a screen cap of them coming in and blowing me up because I triggered there fighter. HOWEVER, this is what they sent to me.

Deployed Fighters Report Sector 4915: Ravage's Privateer entered sector.
Deployed Fighters Report Sector 4915: Ravage is attacking!
Ravage destroyed 1 of your fighters in sector 4915


I did a PE on mombot. There are photon delays in the game or move delays.

I'm sorry if I'm not understanding your issue, but if I understand correctly, the player entered the Photoned sector after you photoned, and would therefore not be effected by the photon. The photon only effects players in the sector when it is fired. I'm sure you know this, which makes me suspect that I'm not understanding.

Aahhhh... I photoned in before he came into the sector and destroyed me. The first portion before the screen shot shows me entering the sector and killing the fig. which triggered his photon script to photon me then warp in and kill me. If your photoning into a sector there would be NO info about me killing a fighter when in fact i didn't. I moved into the sector before the photon residue was gone therefore nothing should of triggered. There were no limpets or anything else besides that one fighter in the sector. If someone would help me test it out on the beta server I would be than happy to try and reproduce this.

So you did or didn't kill the fig? I'm assuming didn't.

Are you sure he didn't just guess where you were going and then set up adjacent and scan for the density change?
