Weird Dominator bug
« on: July 09, 2012, 09:24:12 AM »

So i was soloing a Dominator in the simulator with a Hyperion, and i tried to ram the Dominator in its exposed backside to finish it off. But it diddnt take any damage. Its shields was up, but they are only 180 degrees. I managed to replicate it later in the sim aswell. Seems to only happen when the Dominators shields are up.

How to replicate:

1: Fight with a Hyperion vs the Assault Dominator (Thats what i fought atleast, might work on other ships).
2: Get behind the Domintor.
3: Ram it when its shields are up. (Ram the ship not the shield.
4: The Dominator takes shield damage for no reason.

I can record it if someone wants me to.

Thanks for the report! Just tried it, and it seems to be working fine - but I suspect that's because of some fixes already in the dev build. So, the good news is this should be fixed for the next release.

Hopefully, maybe its a issue of the Hyperion being so light or something.

EDIT: You had to ram the Dominator with the shields, did you do that?

Now that i think about it it may be a issue of the Hyperion not dealing damage at all. And the shield damage is to my own shields...

This is getting more confusing. Screw it im making a video.

Yeah, both ships had shields up. Also tried it w/ Hyperion shields off, but that's trickier because you've only got 3 seconds of that before it blows up.

Yeah haha. I think the deal is that the Hyperion simply isnt doing damage.

Yeah, that doesn't look right - a collision shouldn't do 0 damage there. Well, as before, the good news is that it's fixed :)

Kinda hope ramming will be viable in later patches.
