Shield repair units bugged

edited January 2014 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
Since yesterday's update, the shield repair units keep activating their healing ability constantly (every second or so) preventing it from actually healing your shields. Once they're given an order, they proceed to heal your shields properly for a few moments before going into their bugged state again.

Bit of a nuisence really, as I use them for tanking in my scimitar.

    Ah. Was wondering what that annoying sound was when near a carrier....

    Confirming this bug. Not only does it annoy me with the incessant pinging sound of the shield-heal beams, I've also had team-mates comment on it.

    It's so bad, I've actually stopped using my carrier for the time being, it's built to shield tank (A2B mirror Vo'Quv) and without the drones it's no longer viable to fly.

    Aye, but they must have addressed it then as i used the things on my scimitar and they were fine. The scimitar was released a good month or so after LoR went live.

    I'm still hoping this gets addressed with the next major update. However with everyone getting a free carrier soon, the problem will no doubt be highlighted by more players if it still persists.

    Shield pets still broke, no replies to bug reports I put through in game.

    I run a sci healer and these pets were a good part of my strategy.

    Please fix them :-(

    Working as intended, apparently.
    Most excellent trolling tool. Great on maps where other players don't wander off far and have to put up with the constant drone.

    pretty sure they were already fixed on tribble, so they'll be fixed on holodeck when S8 goes live in...2 days or so if they were

    EDIT: yeah, they seem to have been: from the october 31st notes

    don't know if that fixed this exact issue, but it seems promising
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    Oh, cool.

    I shall pop onto tribble later and see if they're acting normally.

    Still bugged on holodeck.
    Come on cryptic, you seem to be focusing on carriers a lot yet you let the pets stay broke for weeks!

    That old a bug? How long have I been away?

    I can't give a exact date of the break. When I last tried to use them I just got my risa ship and went away for a while.

    As a few hours ago, they'll heal me just fine. They will not budge to heal anyone or anything else.

    Issue logged to the support queue. They advised me to submit it in an in game bug report.

    So I have submitted yet another bug report.

    Kinda cripples my healer build that I use for fleet events.
