I didn't hit the ground.

Railgun installation and it only got an assist as your ship burnt to death. Getting credit for a dropship kill is pretty hard.

Unless you fell through the mesh your ship did indeed hit the ground.

It happened after the killing blow (probably a railgun of some type) took out all your shields and armor so it wasn't the true cause of your demise, but the program considered it as the "final blow".

The final blow is what gets posted in the cause of death screen, so whenever you crash on fire and then blow up the listed cause will be the crash. Hence the huge "damage" amount.

Now CCP didn't code for a crash death so the death screen is a combination of the true killer's name and HP status, the crash damage, and the missing killing "weapon" (the ground).

They could fix it by counting the killing blow as the final blow in which case they could just list everything and we would know what performed the OHK. That would also reward the killer with the full points which is another complaint.

I know what you're saying, and I appreciate your knowledge on dropships, but I did not hit the ground.
You know when you're high up when you hit 0 HP, so when you fall you explode automatically after a few seconds? One of those deaths. Nothing hit me in the air, although I'm certain now I hit an invisible barrier.

The MCC missles do 28k damage, i've tested it, and the null cannons that land on top of the MCC do about 6k if I remember.

It was a flaylock of space birds. They were sucked into the thrusters and kaboom.
