One shot killed by NPC? (With log evidence)

[ZombieHunter]

Was flying in a high res with my Python. 2108 hull integrity - shields down and hull at 97%. I was lining up my rail gun for another shot when boom. I was dead. I don't even think he was facing me. How can you one shot a 97% hull with 2108 integrity? Not possible.

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I've had this exact thing happen to me multiple times. Usually in my FDL (1100 hull, 1200 shields) or my Anaconda (1300 hull, 1100 shields). It just happened about 30 minutes ago, cost me a 10.5 million rebuy, but I was facing down a FDS, had him down to 16%, then suddenly, my shields are down - no problem. Then, less than 5 seconds later, my PP is rendered inoperative and I shut down, and I watch as my hull percent drops slowly. Around 70%, I decide to try to reboot, only to have my displays disappear, and then get sent to the rebuy screen. From start to finish, the fight took about 90 seconds. Allow me to clarify this: I'm an experienced pilot, with over 1000 hours on record, most of that spent bounty hunting. I had spent about an hour in that particular HazRES, and had cleared my immediate vicinity pretty thoroughly, until this punk comes along. I had almost 70% hull remaining when I was sent to the rebuy. My logs look a lot like yours, OP:

{ "timestamp":"2017-11-11T07:59:05Z", "event":"ReceiveText", "From":"$npc_name_decorate:#name=Adrian Kirsch;", "From_Localised":"Adrian Kirsch", "Message":"$BadKarmaCriticalDamage10;", "Message_Localised":"You've scratched my paint!", "Channel":"npc" }
{ "timestamp":"2017-11-11T07:59:05Z", "event":"ReceiveText", "From":"$npc_name_decorate:#name=Adrian Kirsch;", "From_Localised":"Adrian Kirsch", "Message":"$BadKarmaCriticalDamage10;", "Message_Localised":"You've scratched my paint!", "Channel":"npc" }
{ "timestamp":"2017-11-11T07:59:29Z", "event":"CockpitBreached" }
{ "timestamp":"2017-11-11T07:59:29Z", "event":"Died", "KillerName":"Adrian Kirsch", "KillerShip":"federation_dropship", "KillerRank":"Deadly" }

What does "$BadKarmaCriticalDamage10" mean, exactly? Is it NPC reaction-related?

I'm not sure where to find my ship health percentage in these logs. This irritates me, and I'm sick of dying to these weird, freaky one-hit kills. COnsidering how much of my time in this game is spent in combat, this happens on a frequent basis (about once every two or three days), and it's getting costly. Also, aggravating. Also, makes me reconsider playing this over Star Citizen.

I had a Clipper boost into me at the res when shields were down. Fastest my ship has ever blown up, and one of the few times AI have taken me out.

Combat was my favourite thing in the game.. Then they tweaked the ai and added engineers, now i avoid it like the plague. Yeah thanks FD
