Re: Nasty Drone Bug Reported
Just for grins,
I designed a Shielded drone III and an Armored drone III.
I placed the in the combat simulator and read the Stats.
The shielded one had 375 shield points and 350 hit points. ???
The Armored one had 450 hit points. (2 level III crystaline armor, 60 kt of space, 300kt hit points)
I wish I had more time to take them for a test drive. I bet either one could sweep level III mine warheads.

Capnq, the warheads do damage separately, not combined.

Aha! That makes a lot more sense than my double-damage interpretation. Wish I'd remembered that before I spend all that time testing.
When dumbluck mentioned that very thing at the beginning of the thread, I misinterpreted it as each mine's damage rather than each warheads'.

Re: Nasty Drone Bug Reported
IIRC, the way mine warheads do damage has been fixed in the new patch.

Re: Nasty Drone Bug Reported
It would be more accurate to say 'changed' than fixed. It turns out there's an interesting bug. Users of mines would have enjoyed this new method of calculating damage. It resulted in a sort of 'squared damage' effect.  So more changes are necessary for mines. Hopefully not much. |
