Buffs/ heals applied to pets & destructibles sometimes *Resolved*

Continually targeting my own pets. Happens at random, and it happens a lot. Definitely not a confuse effect. This bug practically renders my carrier captains unplayable.

    From there make sure Space is selected as the Region, if you go down the list of On/Off settings you'll see 'Never Auto Target Pets'

    This option may be off for you, if so, turn it On, this.. hopefully.. will fix your issue.

    ticket ID #1,775,469.

    Buffs and heals are being occasionally applied to pets and destructibles. It seems to be happening if I try to apply a buff or heal to myself while a pet or torpedo is launching. Rather than applying to self, they apply to the nearest friendly destructible or pet.

    It is very hard to reproduce but happens multiple times per match.

    I can't tell you how aggravating it is to constantly apply tactical team to a high yield torpedo

    I seemed to have missed the discussion and was busy with my romulan to notice it

    any information on the circumstances that triggers it?

    I'm also getting this a lot.

    It's highly annoying, something as bad as this needs fixing asap.

    someone ninja edited my thread title to include *known, team is investigating*

    with no further information, expect the same

    Since today's patch,
    i noticed that hazard emitter seems to have a mind of its own whom to heal on rare occasions. Instead healing me, it chosen a random friendly target in range. Anything goes, plasma torpedo, npc ships etc.

    Had it happen twice so far today, but never before.

    Did you check your buffs to ensure that there is no effects that might cause mistargeting, such as scramble sensors or antimatter spread?

    Basically, anything that is an ally/team ability can end up being used on an object other than the intended target. It's trippy, because I have not been able to "reproduce" it - as in it is something that always happens if you do XYZ, etc. The only thing that appears to prevent it is not to have any other friendlies on your screen other than the intended target for the buff/heal.

    Things I've tried to "make" it happen that have not worked:

    Ability with autofire.
    Ability right after a targetable projectile is used/pet is launched.
    Dropping all targets.
    F1-F5 to select target.
    Various combinations.

    It happens doing any of that or not doing any of that, but I can't "make" it happen. It does appear random - or - at least in the combination of PvE and PvP that I've tested the issue in, I have not been able to recreate the issue each and every time. It just happens.

    Some folks have mentioned being scrambled - and - the retargeting of another ally does mean that when it drops your target for another target, that target can actually be an enemy target that appears friendly because you are scrambled.

    Suffice to say...it can make the game very...unfun. It's not often in the past that I would try to heal other people, and I've felt guilty about that...I definitely picked the wrong time to start.
