Anyone notice resistances not seeming to work in Counterpoint advanced or Gravity kills against Torpedo?

Anyone want to give me a Temporal Heavy Dreadnought pack? I'll be your friend
Cryptic specifically did adjustments for Normal difficultly for these issues as a test. Despite it more or less working on Normal (still random up-spikes in non-Critical Hit Kinetic-type damage, but far rarer) those adjustments haven't been applied to Advanced or Elite, AFAIK.
That is absurd. Sorry, but no way that happened.
Watch out, you're disagreeing with the second coming of Jesus himself. Atone quickly or you'll be subjected to a torture chamber where you have to listen to "fun is a filthy parasite" and "you must construct additional pylons" for the same duration of time it takes an invisitorp to travel from ISA to Swarm.

that should happen when you get killed while leaving the old map during the warp out animation.
and its known that torpedo crits for advanced/elite are higher. especially because the normal dmg they do is higher there too. but thats ok, its advanced/elite and if you think its a good idea to get hit by:
a) (several) torpedo hy salvoes at the same time
b) taking one of the big targetable (and killable) plasma torpedos
c) some torpedo spreads
while not using any defensive stuff (resistance buffs like brace for impact as example, eng ability while having the rnd trait slottet) you just deserve to die. even trying to take all the dmg to your hull normaly will just kill you, so use tactical team! shields absorb a lot! of kinetic dmg. its 75% initiate reduction if i remember correctly right now.
in addition, even npcs have fire arcs for their weapons

Ive been seeing that too..

For example on maps where we get those mega 1 shot kill NPC torpedoes my own mines will be affected by the same bug and will turn into 1 shot instant player kill weapons. Not only was this semi repeatable but I have a combat log and screenshot that demonstrates the bug. I tried giving the steps and evidence to a bug engineer but no one was interested
In my testing I was in a Dreadnought as an Engineer defence buffed up. I dropped 1 single mostly unbuffed mine and it went from 30k damage to instantly killing my Dreadnought that has over 100k hull with resistance and shields. For that to happen I would have to have been on -150% resistance or something silly. How does my own 30k damage weapon scale up enough to 1 shot kill a tanked player? I only see this crazy damage on the same maps as the NPC instant kill torpedoes which is why I think its a bug. Further evidence as well the swarmer's only had a problem on some maps with crazy DPS scaling, guess what they did Kinetic damage and it was the same maps as the player mines and NPC 1 shot kill torpedoes.
The bug seems to be some sort of wonky interactions between Kinetic damage and resistance.
EDIT: Was just checking my old data from when I tested. I was getting single none critical hits as high as 255,109 without tactical consoles boosting the weapon as an Engineer tank. That doesn't seem right to me.
hmmm I've experienced my ship blowing up after zoning... it can happen during that lukari gravity space que. you go get particles and you get the red pop up telling you to warp out or else. you do and reload and then I blow up...
