[0.8a RC19] Venting Quirks
« on: April 23, 2017, 12:48:12 AM »

Have a Condor in fleet that almost every time it uses its fast missile racks ability immediately vents and interrupts the reload.  No enemies nearby or under any threat.  More rarely seeing some ships against weak opponents with only kinetic weaponry raise shields, get hit, vent, repeat.

I think it must be because they realize their armor will shrug it off, but it leads to them not actually firing weapons as they get stuck in that cycle of actions.  Flux only rises in each case to somewhere around 20%.

I've seen ships get locked in that 'get hit vent shields up, down, get hit vent' cycle. I'm not sure what causes it, both frigates and larger. I've seen this happen, similarily, with a brawler shooting twin Hypervelocity Cannons, though it may be unrelated and just tied up to how fast the hyperv's stack up flux.
