BUG-Torp misfire bug when on autofire mode.

salvation4

Well I started noticing this since the last patch..All wepons are on auto fire..The beams fire but the torps seem to fire only when they want to..If I want to finish a target with shields gone I have to make atleast 2 passes till the torps autofire..

NOTE: There is no cool down for the torp (count down timer on the tray icon)..It just fires as it pleases..

Which torpedo?

Quantum, Omega torp from the rep, photons..

Maybe it is just lag mixed with broken things. Its getting really bad. I know it because ive been creating new characters and when you are levelling up, things are more clear. Sometimes i cant fire my DHCs, for some reason. Sometimes i cant fire torps. Sometimes i use high yield, and the torp goes into cooldown, but i dont see any torp fired. And so on. There are so many problems that at this point.. who cares

I'll drink blodwine to this and die well in battle with honor!!

I’ve had a problem with torpedo spread too ready to fire but nothing so I find my self circling waiting for it to fire and then nothing

yes I have the torps on auto fire and when I hit spread... they dont fire. I end up spamming the button for em to fire.

Not a major thing, but can you edit the title to say misfire instead of miss fire ?

OOOOps my bad!!!

Lol, not really a big deal but I was expecting a drastically different "bug" based on the title

Torps and especially high yield and destructibles are highly unreliable.

Two problems:

1. Torps in general dont fire if a target is moving from you, and you fire them around the 9.5km zone. They seem to fire, torp on cooldown, yet no red alert nor torpedo hit in log.

2. High yield torpedos of any flavour, destructible or not, sometimes never register any damage to a target, at all.

Only spread, in any torp form/type seems reliable. And this has nothing to do with bonus defense/accuracy ortherwise a ‘miss’ entry woukd show in combat log.

Time to fix torpedos for good cryptic!

I do believe point 2 is a fact because when I fire a quantum phase torp HY which is supposed to strip some portion of shields does absolutley nothing at all..The spread does ultar negligible effect so much so am gonna be ditcing it till it is fixed..

I often find that targetable torps in the rear set to autofire go into cooldown once a target comes into range but don't actually fire. It just loses a turn.

This is also true..I had the omega torp slotted at the rear..Didnt do anything..Just sat there out of CD and when an enemny came up I think it shat itself and went into CD..Which made it a waste to useand a waste of resources.,So just stored it in the bank..Basically the torps in genral need a fix ASAP..

salvation4

Ok thats it I am dropping torps altogrther till they get fixed..Yesterday not once did the torp fire and was a total waste of abilities space and weapons slot..The torp went into a loop of CD's whenever I was in line to fire..Plus the special torps arent proc correctly as they ae supposed to..

Note: I am noticing this with the Quantum phase torp alot and the Omega torp from the rep..

Dev's please look into this asap otherwise special torps may become useless and we'll see a bunch of beam only boats out there..

salvation4

Ok cryptic..NOT FUNNY..when autofire selects targets way off screen and goes ape TRIBBLE when they ignore what you select in front of you..NOT FUNNY..EG: approching the borg queens diamond in Borg disconnected..Approx 5kms away..to the far left corner the Voth dread..Diamond selected..Weapons disengage and target the Voth and camera swings..Voth at a greater distance than diamond..Torps are still the same and I think this is a cross platform issue because the other platform players are also having the same issue..

Why only now the addition is autofire has a moind of its own and targets whatever it wants..So much so I have gone to manual fire mode which is just TRIBBLE..But atleast doesnt chose what it wants..

I took a peek at the options, last night shortly after reading this. There is so many different settings for "Auto Fire" and "Tab Targeting" I am not sure what is what. Nor can I tell what, if anything, has changed. So, I shall just have to run an Empire Defense and fiddle if things turn out wrong.
