I was cruising a .4, all alone in system when a new person shows up in local. I hit the scanner and see he is in a Rifter. Not wanting to get my Thorax blown up (I am a new player and he had been playing for over a year) I head for a jumpgate and wait near it. He happens to warp to it as well and I sit there thinking he won't attack due to the guns.
I was wrong, he targets me and starts firing, so I let loost the drones and start shooting as well. Either the sentry guns couldn't hit the fast frigate, or they simply didn't consider him to have broken the law, I'm not sure. I'm not complaining (though I did get owned lol!) but can anyone explain why the guns didn't attack him? Thank you.

Because they were waiting for you to jump through after he started shooting Are you at war with this person? Did they have killrights? ---------------------------------

No war, and no theft. I was just ratting, never met this person before, thats why its strange. Can the sentry guns be outmanuvered?

Maybe his low security status had him flashing red and you assumed he was attacking and shot first? Maybe he did not kill you but the sentries did?

My guess would be that you assumed him flashing red meant he had opened fire on you.
No way a pirate rifter is shooting first at a gate. _____________________________________________

Thing is, he wasn't flashing at all. He locked me for awhile, I sent out my drones, then he began firing.

Well, if you launched drones after he locked you, then the sentries fired at YOU, not him. Locking isn't considered a criminal action.

He said "sent out my drones", which i assumed to be towards the target in question. ^^

No. I just let them orbit, hoping he would leave. Then I got the first message.
"***** Pirhana Light Missle hits you for 34 damage."
Thats when I opened fire.
Didn't have an Agression Countdown either.

You did something wrong/first, or the guns would insta-pop him.

Its very simple lad... his missile didnt hit you. It hit the can with 1 piece of pirahna missile and renamed 'you', whereupon you now tought he was firing on you seeing the message of him shooting you, hence you fire on him and he can attack you without worrying about sentries.
Fitting standard missile launchers to a rifter... abdomination i say!

Nope, rethink that for a second. :P You only get damage messages from you and the person/people shooting you. That trick could work if the rifter warp scramed the can so it says '*** has started trying to warp scramble you!".

If you were ratting, you maybe took from a wreck belonging to him without noticing. This would've given him the appropriate rights to kill you. If not, petition the loss. The GMs will soon tell you what went wrong.

agreed with above. Petition. If the sentries failed, you should get your ship back. If you were mistaken, you may get to find out what actually happened
