    My guess is its probably a low priority bug since its been known about for a few months now and they might be hoping that those who benefitted from it will just buy the thing. Course that won't work since the reason people want it is so that they don't have to buy it.

    Isn't the problem with the klink transports more that they're overly prone to death than the fact they don't go boom.

    Adding an explosion to them just serves to highlight how fast they die.

    Since the transports are optional it doesnt seem to be a priority to fix them. Even the most incompetent group manages to save at least one transport to do the optional part. People can even intentionally grief here.

    I haven't been in a Riposte yet where the transports were overly prone to dying. I've only had maybe one explode on me in any given TFO. Generally our team manages to grab at least eight before time runs out.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Agreed. I haven't been in a run yet where we didn't get if not all, then most of the transports. There are too many folks reporting NOT having this issue for it to be an issue with the TFO. If you're seeing them die in every run that you're in, search for the common denominator. Maybe you're doing something that's killing the transports.

    I've seen transports die a lot...because with no shields, and 75% (or less) hull, people are dropping massive damage and killing the 'guard' ships just after the transport becomes "your faction" and the core breeches of 2+ ships in close proximity to the damaged transport finish it off.

    How about targeted attacks on the guards -then- shoot the transport, or "don't spam like you're looking for dps score" until after the transport is pulled away from their former guards, maybe drop a heal or a shield share on the transports, or hey, maybe Tractor Repulsors to push the KDF ships away from your freshly caught and highly vulnerable captives?

    In my experience they only insta-die if they eat warp core breaches.

    Just because most folks do not have an issue it does not mean there is not an issue with the TFO that is not how bugs work.

    For me its the other way around. I have only had 1 run that was ok every other run the transports died around 9 times out of 10. Last run a transport was ok, I healed it up to max then as soon as my team mate put a tractor beam on it the transport went pop. It was taking no damage until the tractor beam was turned on at which point it was taking over 3000 damage a second.

    Zero warp core breach and zero rifts. I have lost count have many times I have seen a transport take zero damage then as soon as the tractor beam is turned on it takes massive damage. It seems like friendly fire only happens when a tractor beam is on the transport.

    After testing and excluding warp core kills the common denominator is zero DoT with the tractor beam off and large DoT damage when the tractor beam is on. Enough to kill within seconds.
