Problem with missals

[russweis]

When i fire missals they lock on, hit the target, explode and do no damage. is there a way to fix this or is it bugged till the next patch?

1. What are you firing at?
2. Does what your firing at have shields?
3. Does what your firing at have point defense?
4. Is the object being controlled by and admin?
5. How many blocks is your weapon?
6. Do numbers flash up if it hits? If so what numbers?
7. Are you locking on correctly?

 

[russweis]

1. An npc pirate.
2. 300 Shields, however after doping them with an amc still no damage.
3. No.
4. The admin is me. So no.
5. 40 missal and 40 beam.
6. no numbers at all.
7. yes, i wait till its green and it still can be fired manually.

I've bugged this on the reporting site. It's largely ignored, but I have also noticed it. It occurs with missile/beam weapons where the NPC moves out of the sector (or exists in another sector.. needs testing). The missile will hit the target but do no damage at all.

You are likely not seeing damage being reported to you because your damage display range is low. Damage is likely still being done it is just not being shown.

Hit the F key on your targets to see their full stats. It might help.

I do all my targeting with F selected targets to keep track of them in battle. I have some missile that obliterate the NPC pirates in a couple shots using explosives and high damage. I've been chasing the pirates across sector boundaries and been within a few hundred meters to the target. I see the missile hit them, no damage numbers and no change in the shields or armor values. They just shrug off the damage and I sigh, cross the sector border that I KNOW is there because of the usual sector border changing jiggery and launch another volley to see the damage and take the kill.

I target with F to. I am not on a border. I am at 2,2,2 by they shop and NO missal regardless of its set up will work.

Maybe the sector is protected. Normally spawn sector is shielded in a way nothing will take damage.

All I can think of is - that is some ass there... sorry, what were you saying again...? :)

Have you tried doing a repair or reinstalling. I haven't had the issue in sector or out in any manor. Not saying you aren't but it seems that with as few people reporting it the issue is local to those individual. Such as maybe a file was corrupted.

ok ill back up my ships and stuff and do a reinstall

I hate even suggesting something like that but can't really think of much else that would cause it unless config file is changed or something. I figure if you changed the config you would know about it.

I have similiar problem.
My missiles:

• dissappear half way to the target
• fly through the target without hitting it
• hit the target but do no damage

(I used Missile + Damagebeam // distance: 300m & 1000m & 1500m // target was vanilla pirates and a custom ship without AM-Turrets)
