I and four others enter the Infected: The conduit ESTF. its missing the first cube. The we try taking down the generators, and wave after wave of nanite spheres roll in one after the other. then we finally ( after fourty minutes ) get the generators down and the cube rolls in ( yayyy ) only now, we have twenty some reoccuring nanite spheres to take care of.. we finally get those done and the gateway down and start on the cube, only its singleshotting everyone so we all die, again and again and again.. It was unwinnable.. Then the chat drops out and i still cant access it., what gives?? I'd really like to know..

    Wow... I will add I noted missing ship groups in SB 24 that made it hard to trigger the battleship wave. Chat is offline but that has its own thread. Really odd in game right now but man you got a story to share about the great bug day.

    I mean you got to look at the bright side once in a while too. :)

    I didn't quite have that experience but I am seeing the gate and cubes just oneshotting everyone. More than usual anyway. Ya sometimes I have to peel off and heal a bit but Ican hardly get in range now and poof, I'm vaporized.

    I actually even had the gate one shot me from 16k away as I had backed up to heal. I was already to go with full health and shields heading back in and poof, dead. No torp either as I was hitting spacebar to target nearest.

    Something is borked with be borg methinks.

    I swear the Crystalline Entity was one-shotting a whole bunch of us on normal difficulty a few days back, just as you describe for the Cube in this scenario.

    Yeah I run this several times a day on multiple chars, and something does seem amiss. People seem to be sploding a lot more than usual. I thought it was just back luck the first couple of times our entire team wiped, but comparing it to the hundreds of times I have run this and not die, or can count on one hand how many times others die, something strange is definitely going on.

    I was hit for 235k raw damage by a single plasma torp today.

    Well, i'm just a mogai so i expect to explode, but tanks?? They were going down like flies.. The more casual players blame it on taking the generators down wrong, but that isnt it.. these guys did ok.. they were brutalized, we were brutalized..

    truth told, ive seen this behavior happening off and on in no mconsistant pattern for a couple weeks now. it was only today that it started to take on a pattern.. Missing cubes ( just not there ) wave after wave of spheres, overbuffed everything and yes, the gate has been one shotting folks from >14km for a while too.. its insane..

    I had a bunch of ships disappear while trying to finish the Jem story arc. typically it wouldnt let me finish the mission despite dispatching the Jem Dreadnaught.

    was it invisible??? no.. I'm not joking or poking at you.. the tac cube spews out an invisible torp every now and then.. I got wiped by one myself today..

    I havent been doing the jem arc, but yes, that fits with what we're seeing as no matter what you do, you just cant bring down the boss.. not even with four or five people..

    Well, my Mogai has the same layout as my cruiser really, without Aux2SIF3 or ES1. I just replaced ES1 with Aux2SIF1 and its a tank :P

    But with my cruiser running EPtS3 100%, as well as 130 shield power, TSS, HE, Aux2SIF, and even BFI, with resiliant shields, I get popped in one shot now. Never even remotely got close to death before. Now everyone just drops like flies.

    eeeyup.. i got a 42K hull, 7900 shields; twin tet DHC's and twin Plasma DHCs in froont, cutting beam and twin plasma beams in back, all mk XII. Full omega set, point defense system, pirate fleet and plasma burst, i'm armed to the teeth, and it dint make one bit of difference ..

    A very visible high yield I neglected to shoot down.

    I can survive the double tap if neither crits, but that one high yield crit was instagib even with it being heavily mitigated.
