I suddenly had 146% HULL at one point in the match for no reason I could fathom*.
I had not used any Jenovite and could not find any outside buff that was being applied to me.
What ability or power can achieve this or is this a new bug?

*to the team I was on, I apoligise for the lack of using this boon to great effect. I thought I was being unfairly buffed and was trying to shoot my way away from combat out of a sense of fairplay.

    As far as I know, this is caused by the Lag Armor MK XII you have installed in your Internets slot. I have seen weird health displays during periods of high lag.

    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Really? It felt as if it lasted a maximum of 20-25 seconds and I never experienced any lag related control issues. I was in full control at all times.

    I need more lag like that! :-P

    Control is an illusion provided by the client. But if your connection to the server lags, your health can fluctuate. (Usually it goes the other way!)

    Seemed the fair and balanced choice of action since I did not know if the buff was legit or not.
    Flip full engines and fight my way free of the furball, niether dying or inflicting any great damage.

    Ah. So not the captain of my ship afterall. Lol.

    It does beg the questions, what caused the increase and can it be replicated? If it can how do the Devs stop it from being exploited?

    If it cant, then no worries and Ill see it as a blessing from Kahless or a product of the spetacular healing we had on the team.

    Didn't you read the patch notes? It's Cryptic's new anti-lag feature.

    That particular bug has been extant since at least season 7 release, my whole team of fleet mates had it happen in star base fleet defense once, it lasted through the whole thing, even after respawn. Damned if we could figure out the reason.

    My guess is "hope" keeps people not playing but posting on the forums. For others, its a path of sad realization and closure. Grieving takes time. The worst "haters" here love the game, or did at some point.
