High Yield Torp bug

As this bug has existed for a few patches now in both Tribble and Holodeck and I haven't come across anyone saying anything about it i will.

When firing Heavy Plasma Torpedoes, normal ones, not the hyper torp, 6 times out of 10 they tend to blow up against the target (either myself or the enemy), but don't do any damage or disappear and are then shot down by either myself or the enemy.

it shows the animation of blowing up but doesnt do damage or vanish.....it get really annoying, especially as the Romulan seem to focus on Plasma alot.

Also, 65% of the time i fire a heavy plasma torpedo...or ANY torpedo that has a destructable warhead, it fails to fire, instead activating the Cooldown like it DID fire, so i have to wait another cycle before being able to fire my heavy torpedo.

ticket id #37,466

I find this line of replies sadly hilarious. We put a lot of work into the massive list of fixes/changes above, and ya'll are hung up on the ability to skip our content. =p

    I have encountered the same problem. I just got the romulan hyper plasma torpedo today and I noticed the bug. What's worse is it will burn high yield and similar bridge officer abilities, yet sometimes nothing will fire. It seems to happen most often if I turn just out of the fire arc right when the weapon is about to fire.

    adding my voice to this, as i've also experienced this problem, many, MANY times

    on a slightly related note, the bug causing heavy plasma torpedoes fired by romulan NPCs to sometimes rebound on their ships or turn to hit another NPC romulan ship, which was supposed to have been fixed a few weeks ago, was in fact NOT fixed, as i and several others have seen it happening recently
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents
