I am sure there is a reason my side torso and arm exploded... what am I missing. How does this happen? Destroyed by nothing apparently? LOL!

Base Turrets often show up as -blank-.
I've had it a few times when I've been clipped by a turret when I'm nearly cored and it's ended me, resulting in either the ones it hit me with, or ALL damage reading blank.

There was no base turrets... that was over behind the couple buildings at the tail of the drop ship as you can see in the background. Skirmish.

I mean I know Jager side torsos are a little delicate but sheesh...

[Duke Nedo]

Death from above?

[Nathan Foxbane]

Looks like you took just enough collision damage to finish off your engine with two other 'Mechs piled in there. Odd that it would show up blank though. Even if you cause the collision damage it should show up as a suicide or TK.

Of course it is hard to say without knowing what your damage conditions were and a bunch of other factors.

[DarthPeanut]

That was a few moments after I died and team mates ran through the area while I was screen capping. There was no one else immediately around me for collision and I am was stopped beside a building (in the notch) avoiding lrm boat you can see shooting. I had just typed in chat "UAV?".

No clue then. If this happens regularly filing a support ticket is your best bet on getting it resolved.

You were destroyed by ghost damage, the sneaky cousin of ghost heat. Don't forget to burn some incense before initiating a gaming session to scare away the ghosts...

If the collision was with another mech, that mech may get the credit. I pulled off a Death From Above once doing this (Entirely on accident, I landed on an enemy victor I never shot, and got a Kill).

That does not look like anywhere near the dropship's tail, looks more like you were near one of the cap points. If I had to guess, I'd say you and the other team somehow switched sides of the dropship during the fighting, and you somehow got the attention of a missile turret. The missile turrets seem to have a range of around 1200 meters, but I've never conclusively documented it.

That or just a weird bug where the database dropped damage source info.

They only hit at 1000, but they seem to start firing at around 1200. Perks of infinite ammo bins I guess. Be hilarious if they actually had ammo limits.

Still do not know the damage condition of the OP's 'Mech before. If internals were exposed or not.

I have seen that before in non-base matches. I also noticed I have stats for weapons where I played 0 games with that weapon somehow. I think it may be some DB Data dropping (might also explain why I'm missing 2 of my 130 point wins)

Which is why I posted. Very strange and I did not have a clue either.

We pushed over saddle... they went lower city hook. That is on the back side of the saddle by the tail of the dropship in that cluster of 5-6 buildings. Skirmish... no turrets.

That is the drop ship you can see in the background right side. Saddle is in the distance straight ahead in that view. Hard to get a clear shot with the spinning camera view of death.

Yes, the middle of the dropship by the looks of it, which would place you nowhere near the tail.

But if you were in skirmish than turrets are right out, so the only explanation seems to be a database error of some kind.

[DarthPeanut]

Oh and a weird thing. When it shows destroyed in 'all' chat... nothing ever showed.

Well midway between the split in it and the tail... approximately.

There are no turrets in skirmish so yea.

Collision damage is actually listed; not blank.

Not sure what would cause this.

[Glaive-]

Clearly your mech died of a natural cause. Like cancer or something.

I've had it come up as blank before. Very rare though.
