Venting when Tachyon Lance is ready to fire adds a delay.
« on: June 01, 2017, 07:02:32 AM »
And presumably any weapon with a refire delay in seconds like Phase Lance or Antimatter Blaster.

However, if Tachyon Lance is still cooling down (i.e., green bar ticking left), even when there is a tiny sliver left, no delay gets added when I vent.

If I try to time Tachyon Lance bursts, I should always try to vent before the refire delay is finished, so I can fire Tachyon Lance as soon as my ship is done venting.  If I wait to vent until Tachyon Lance is ready to fire, I need to wait a while before I can fire it after venting.

By venting, I mean anytime [V] is pressed even when there is no (or minimal) flux to vent.

AFAIK projectile weapons are safe, only beams sre affecyed by that. Phase lances for sure, I've already reported that.

Yeah, should be fixed along with phase lances - thank you.
