Armoury Officer DOff Bug?

Hi there.

Got myself a very rare/purple Armoury Officer doff which says:

"100% chance to self: Create a level 4 Phaser Burst Turret III for 60 seconds."

And the other bonus is:

"Chance to beam in two additional phaser turrets."

I thought that I was guaranteed at least one additional phaser turret when I deploy my own phaser turret III down (doesn't seem to work with quantum mortar) but instead it just randomly places the double bonus turrets down instead?

Is this some kind of bug/oversight? Is it actually supposed to be at least one guaranteed turret (the 100%) with a lower chance of double turret spawn, or is the 100% just doubling some invisible number? I've never had a single bonus turret beam in, only two extra ones that are very random.

Thanks for any info!

    Yeah...that's very confusing, even I still forget and get confused sometimes too.

    Basically, what the REAL effect is, is that it's saying you will still beam down your normal Phaser/Disruptor Turret regardless, and I believe there is like a 20% chance you will beam down two extra turrets for 60 seconds.

    Quantum Mortars need Explosive Experts I believe, just so you know.

    I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    Thanks for the reply.

    It still doesn't make much sense though. The way I see it is I deploy my normal turret from skillbar as usual and the DOff should always give me a bonus turret (so now two turrets) with a small chance of giving two bonus turrets (would then be three turrets).

    I did send a bug report yesterday anyway, but hopefully anyone with more info would be appreciated, thanks!

    PS - I'll look up this explosive expert stuff as well for quantum mortars.

    Edit - after looking up purple explosive experts, they only give a 20% chance of deploying an additional quantum mortar, but the armoury officer still says 100% chance for a single, bonus turret to be deployed (with chance of deploying two but doesn't give percentage).

    I hope this is an oversight.

    I'd be interested to find out about this as well.

    I am interested in this aswell. In addition, the supply drone doff has a similar text with "100% chance". I bought an explosive expert and an armory officer (both purple), and both spawn their devices with a similar frequency (but unfortunately under my expectations).
    Does anybody have some experience with fabrication engineers? 100% chance as stated, or rather 20%?
