Ok, so I use the time set on the time ship (lobi) most of it seems great, once I got this puppy up and going, awesome control etc. however: The torpedo (as of late like since DR) misfires constantly, the timer will reset as if it fired and it doesnt 5 times in a row.. then MAYBE it fires is this torp considered OP so they nerfed it to useless? or bug?? anyone else experienced this issue? If there is a bug thread about this lmk please so I can add example to it...

    With the misfires, are they happening as you're turning and potentially arc cutting with the activation delay involved?

    I was thinking that too, so I intentionally started delaying in turns (since its an aft weapon) and watched it light up "fire" and start counting again... did this MANY times to the same effect (or lack there of) misfires by itself, or with torp spread all the same as well...

    IIRC the temp torp is a tricobalt, these had an intentional chance to misfire at some point. Not sure if this actually changed with DR, just bad luck with RNG, or is now for the first time since forever is WAI.

    Do you see misfires with eg. plasma torps in that slot as well op?

    I have the temporal torp...I also thought it wasn't fring as much as it should...this may explain why.

    Will try it out again tonight, and pay more attention to it.

    Hrmm, cause I know that's a pesky bug that affects some torps more than others (while at the same time allowing energy weapons to fire outside of arcs all over the place)...it's like you can get the Rom Hyper to fire fore while mounted aft cause it doesn't care about arc cutting, but some torps just pretend they fired if you do.

    I don't have a toon currently with it to check it...well, I might still have a copy of one of the toons with it on Tribble. But yeah, the damn arc cutting thing was the first thing to come to mind - but with you having checked that already...meh.

    Interested to see what other folks have come to mind.

    no other torps, its a sci build so I focused on DBBs in front (the temporal with 2 AP) the only reason I have a torp on her is the temporal warfare set "demanded" it lol it used to misfire occasionally yet I noticed after DR it misfires vastly more than it fires and repeatedly consistently misfires I counted up to 7 misfires in a row... average is 3-5 before it finally actually launches.. this has taken my favorite PVP cheese wedge from almost OP to virtually useless.... (I must upgrade everything I know but still I cant even penetrate PVE boats anymore) the torp with temporal backstep and torp again was my finisher... now it is virtually impossible...
