Please inform me, what are they?

FYI, Quantum Exploiters still do not increase the damage of Quantum torpedoes.

Vulnerability Locater's boost a torpedo and mine type equally. For example [+QuP] is 37% ish to Quantum mines and 37% to Quantum torpdeos .

Speaking of torps, do particle gens affect the dmg of the Grav Torp? Someone in the DPS channels said its Small Gravimetric Rifts count as pets, and are thus not affected by player skill.

As per testing that I did, that person would be correct. Also, that's something I recall bort saying as well.

One would think that it *should* be affected by PGen and/or Grav's.....

Thank you. I'll have to see if the Quantum Exploiters work for Quantum mines or if they have the same problem as for Quantum torpedoes.

Would be nice to take advantage of them.....

I'd like to see the shot priority of TS and HY be fixed, especially when HY1 is taking precedence over HY3 and TS3.

Bort dropped this out in your actual thread discussing CF...

This report has led to us tracking down and fixing a Firing Priority bug. This was, unfortunately, affecting all Torpedoes in the same way.

Prior to the fix, Torpedo Mode priority was incorrectly set as:
- Photonic Shockwave Torpedo
- Emission-Seeking Torpedo
- Transport 1
- Transport 2
- Transport 3
- HY 1
- HY 2
- HY 3
- Spread 1
- Spread 2
- Spread 3
- Basic Firing Mode

How these priorities work, is that the system checks which mode is active, starting at the top. For the first one that is TRUE, it enables that firing mode. If multiples are active, it doesn't matter - the top priority is available until consumed.

As you can see, the above order was causing lower ranks of HY and Spread to override better, more beneficial versions of those Modes.

The newly-fixed firing priority will be:
- Photonic Shockwave Torpedo
- Emission-Seeking Torpedo
- Transport 3
- Transport 2
- Transport 1
- HY 3
- HY 2
- HY 1
- Spread 3
- Spread 2
- Spread 1
- Basic Firing Mode

And before you ask for verification, I can anticipate one question: Yes, it is currently working as intended that HY1 take priority over all ranks of Spread when both are active.

I can't pinpoint a date that this fix will go live, other than Soon(tm).

...for anybody following this thread where they might not have seen that thread.
