Splash damage perhaps, but most likely lag shots are the issue there.

This "lagshot" issue will be dealt with, but it is a really complex problem. It happens when the vessels are moving and are shot at, which has to do with the way the game "updates" each and every block while you are moving. We are trying to find a solution here, but it seems this will imply more changes than just a "bugfix".[/quote]
