Starbase 234 can not be attacked with Ship Weapons

System Patrol "Starbase 234":

It is possible to kill all the ships. The Starbase however cannot be attacked by ship weapons. It is shown as hostile, it can be targeted and it attacks the player, but the player's weapons stay greyed-out in the UI and as such don't fire. The Starbase can however be damaged using "Eject Warp Plasma" and the Set Ability "Heavy Bio-Molecular Turret Barrage".

This happened both on a normal solo run with a KDF character, and an elite two-team run with Federation characters (both players had this issue in the teamed run). So it should be replicable.

I noticed this the other day when running patrol with fleet mate.

I have a feeling it's due to a issue with the new mission and the starbase in question.

However the patrol can be finished just waiting for timer to run out.

Annoying but not breaking.

Would be nice for it to be looked into though.

I've had the same problem. I would like to add that the mat'ha raptor's spinal cannons cannot damage the starbase.

Same problem here, trying the 234 patrol on a Fed escort.

I find if I get to point-blank and sit just inside the docking ring facing the top node, I can sometimes get a shot in, but any other angle, nothing.

I would like to add that rarely the SB234 isn't marked as enemy and after destroying the mirandas and then the battleship map completes immediately.

Can confirm, weapons simply wouldn't fire at the Starbase. During FAW they'd hit everything else, but not the starbase at all.

I've had this happen to me as well. Was unable to fire on the starbase. Patrol still "completed".

Issue verified. Thanks for the reports.

Frost for me, it would Spawn the First mob.

Then only spawn 2/3 Ships for the Second Mob. Which would then not allow finishing.

You can technically target it with weapons, but only from above, and only from a specific quadrant. It's very weird.

Anything new on this?

I've got some testing I'd just love to do against a highly defensive, stationary target, and I'm just not finding anything else.

We tested it yesterday. Bug still present.
