Has anyone else noticed that the damage from weapons is about 3/4 to 1/2 what it should be? And shields about 1/2? and Mk VIII shields for sale for exploration vouchers are using 3'rd tier instead of 4'th tier?

This continues with weapons after the patch, not sure about the vouchers.

    Note...... it seems to be only in the display of the weapon. When hovered over while on ship it seems correct.

    Please note: Weapon damage is dependent on you weapon energy. If you set your energy down to 25, you do TRIBBLE for damage. Thus, I think that maybe the DPS shown when you purchase a weapon is base (50). If you increase energy, then the damage goes up. I think that might be the confusion, now for shields, I think each class of shield has a shield coefficient. The amount you get increases with the coefficient, like how sci vessels get a lot more shields.

    Uhm, no. Just yesterday base damage on dual bank phasers was showing at 146 for me. This was while still in the vendor. Today they display as 96. Same with shields. Covariant MK VIII [Reg] was 4792 yesterday. Today displays as 2188.

    Was this a bug to start with or are the markets supposed to take skills into acct and now not?

    Hmm, that is quite odd. Perhaps something did change, or maybe they reflect power. Did you recently change ships and not change power? Remember all ships come fresh with 50 in all. You might be right, that does seem odd though. I might check my displays in game later.
