Bug Reports & Support / EMP Emitter display bug
« on: February 19, 2021, 10:11:27 AM »
I made a couple recordings of an Omen's EMP Emitter because I wasn't sure just how many shots it fired off and noticed that after 20 shots it keeps firing bolts that apparently do no damage.

In this first one at 7 seconds it fires 4 bolts practically on top of each other at the end, with only one doing registering damage.



and in this one you can see it fire one last bolt at 10 seconds, which does no damage

This is grossly overpowered.  I could see spending 18-20 op for it in a large mount, 10 op in a medium is just insane.  Also it becomes almost perfectly accurate with gunnery implants 1.

Suggestions / The AI doesn't handle fast missile racks very well
« on: June 18, 2020, 08:19:03 PM »
The ai has quite a few issues with this system, I will list off as many as I can and provide video of them happening.

1.  It hoards charges.  Quite often it will sit with max charges for 10-15 seconds refusing to use them.  This occurs throughout the video

2. Related to the above, it rarely spends more than one charge at a time, usually firing 2 salvos at once but...

3. Several times it will wait til the missiles are less than a second from being able to fire before it hits fmr. an example of this is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hQhtczX9QI?t=190

4. At https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hQhtczX9QI?t=69 it is seen hitting fmr then venting before it actually takes effect, negating the effort while still costing a charge and flux.

5. Rarely it will start a salvo and hit fmr before it finishes, cutting it off partway through.  This happened when I wasn't recording. 

6. These are just what happens when the ai is given a single missile launcher + fmr.  I'll see about getting another video using a ship with more than just 1 missile mount soon.

Kelpie (S) blades don't work.

edit:  their beam speed is set to zero so the beams never actually do anything.

The open page for all mods with updates button struggles with very large mod lists, opening about a dozen tabs and calling it a day when I have something like 20 mods to update.

Just gonna copy it straight from discord, context is gwyvern talking about specifically blocking amb from a builtin hullmod's benefits after I posted videos of amb boats dunking on heavy cruisers.

Quote
disastranagant: tbh ambs are pretty overpowered in general
[1:15 AM] Gwyvern: Well nominally they are hella short ranged, *** off inefficent, and the definition of single shot
[1:15 AM] Gwyvern: The Champion gives them a flat 66% more base range
[1:16 AM] Gwyvern: Which makes them much cozier to work with
[1:16 AM] disastranagant: except they're not inefficient at all, have one of the highest dps values for their mount and are only slightly shorter ranged than the other vanilla small energy projectiles
[1:17 AM] disastranagant: on top of being bursty af and having ammo that doesn't matter in most fights

<snip confusion over amb stats, it was less efficient and less burst damage eons ago>

1:24 AM] Flat Waste Murderer Tri-Kart (M): tbh, even with the efficiency its still rare to see them used
[1:24 AM] disastranagant: they're quite underutilized
[1:25 AM] Gwyvern: Also could use less ammo
[1:25 AM] disastranagant: in part because getting the ai to fire a 1500 flux strike weapon is hard
[1:25 AM] Gwyvern: For 9 OP you could get 9 single reapers in 9 slots, or 1 AMB
[1:25 AM] Gwyvern: Id say the AMB is much more useful
[1:26 AM] disastranagant: if you need a small energy weapon to deal damage to an opponent amb is your gun
[1:26 AM] disastranagant: the umpteen ir pulse but less bad mod guns out there are a sideshow
1:26 AM] Flat Waste Murderer Tri-Kart (M): single reapers are 2 OP apiece
[1:27 AM] Gwyvern: Maybe bring thst up on the forums so Alex sees it
[1:27 AM] Gwyvern: Rip my memory
[1:27 AM] disastranagant: they're basically the counterpoint to small energy slots suck

Bug Reports & Support / Re: Paladin PD does very inconsistent damage

This doesn't happen with heavy burst laser or burst pd laser other than losing about 10-15 damage if the beam sweeps.

Bug Reports & Support / Paladin PD does very inconsistent damage
« on: October 30, 2019, 11:50:24 PM »
I was testing out the Paladin PD in the simulator after some discussion about it on the discord and got some strange numbers.  It was doing 20 damage per shot vs excessive armor, which is quite a bit below the listed 200 damage * .15.  So I rigged up a target without armor and this was the result:



I do anywhere between 110 and 175 damage per shot, most often around 150.

The Hyvel Twin Driver claims to be an area point defense when it's a Gauss Cannon sidegrade. It also costs far too much flux for what it does.

Are Junk Pirate nex starts supposed to come with ASP blueprints?  Feels like the should have a JP one.

Yeah, but we're talking about shooting bare hull.

« on: September 13, 2019, 06:32:20 AM »
I just did some testing in which I fired 3 reapers at test dummy with onslaught stats then followed it up with a thumper burst.   Instead of the expected ~1060 damage I did ~440. The only way I can figure out to make that result is if it's calculating the damage reduction based on doing 25 hit strength vs the residual armor on the bare hull and then multiplying that by the actual 100 damage.  (25/(25+87.5))*100 = 22.3 * 20 = 446

Scrap missiles could use a bit better turning.  They like to curve out a bit and then be unable to curve back in far enough to actually hit anything.
