Sometimes my lasers don't track?

I have been playing in game for the last couple of weeks and over that amount of time i have been noticing something very strange about my ship. At first i thought it might just be me missing my target and that i might just be scraping ships with my shots. But as i have found out today that is not the case.
Pretty much the problem is that whenever i hit a ship, i more often then not do not take the right amount of damage? i had to take 4 shots to kill a wa1 that was sitting still? Another time i shot dynasty twice sitting still and he didn't die.
Multiple times i would shoot wa1's and viper's shield (6 laser shots should take it off) And they either have half shield or 4 bars left. And sometimes it would be taken completely off.
Im not downloading, streaming, or anything like that. So is it a server problem?
Im gunna try installing Fl and the mod now. But i would like to hear if the server is having any problems atm? Because my hit reg really is poor and its not very fun.

i have had similar problem with this - i jumped into alex and as i was coming through gate 2 black legions started firing at me , by the time i got control i was dead - i jumped through again and they fired again , this time i was able to run for it.
also the other night everytime i undocked from barsine base greaver was doing it. he killed me a few times by doing this b4 i got control over my ship.eventually i was able to make a run as he was finishing off somebody else.
also greaver i use lasers aswell and i have shot ppl that have been sat there for over 5 mins and hey guess what ( no or hardly any damage) now for a sitting target sat there for over 5 mins - a cannonball - is it 6 lasers - sunslayer torp -and a hornet should wipe a wa1 clean out - but i like i say -no damage - if they do take damage their shield only drops to half then regens back up.
also last night i was fighting a pirate - he was taking no damage at all and i explain this to him. he said ooppps
he did not log out of game he stayed where he was in front of me. 1 min later he says now i can take damge
now can someone explain that 1

About your experience with that pirate (which is actually a rogue, judging on the screeny):
The only thing I can think of is that he just logged on when you ran into him and the 60 secs protection hadn't worn off yet.
I don't have a clue about the laser damage.

no he was in game for quite a while and he had been undocked for a cpl of mins - i circled for a few mins b4 i attacked
it was very strange how when i told him he said oops - now i can take damge - without anybody even shooting at him
i know all about the 60 sec rule - i am not thick and i dont attack within that time
and sorry my mistake - it was a rogue, not a pirate

Jester lets get this clear mate. I don't attack you until you have control of your ship. You die, deal with it. Your claims may be valid with others, i dont know so i wont comment.
But as it seems, other people are noticing problems somewhere or another.... Anyone else had problems?

whatever this is its spreading
maybe its the server having minor laggs?

Talking about that, when first logging onto the server, there is severe CPU usage, causing lag. I logged on and it was using 100% CPU! @-)
After a while it passes by itself, but it's extremely annoying. It's a relatively "recent" thing, it never used to happen. And it's definitely not only me that has it.
Edit typo.

yes i also get alot of lag when i log in, it goes after a while but if you get attacked as soon as you log in, it aint half a pain.

greaver i dont make accusations - when i say something happened, it did - i was only saying m8t it not a problem
so in the cut scene when i can clearly see weapon fire hitting me, i am imagining it - no i am not - and by time i got control of ship i died. and guess what - jester was gunned down by greaver - multiple times
thats the last i ave to say on this
