We've been testing sentry drones on TQ (me and my friends).
I figured out that something is wrong with the drone damage modifier and hitpoints.


(base) * (drone interfacing level 5) * (sentry drone interfacing) * ( hull bonus ?)
Level 5 Dominix should get:
Garde II:
1.92 * 2 * 1.25 * 1.5 = 7.2x

Level 5 Dominix gets as of right now:
Garde II:
1.92 * 2 * 1.25 * = 4.8x


(base) * (drone interfacing level 5) * (Heavy Drone Operation) * ( hull bonus ) * (Gallente drone spec 4)
Level 5 Dominix should get:
OgreII:
1.92 * 2 * 1.25 * 1.5 * 1.08 = 7.776x

Level 5 Dominix gets as of right now:
Ogre II:
1.92 * 2 * 1.25 * 1.08 = 5.184x


Same problem exists with sentry drone hitpoints.
Is this intended or a known bug currently on TQ ?

Just tested real drone output.
Golem (5 hammerheads) vs Rattlesnake (5 hammerheads).

I do the same damage with golem as with rattlesnake.

This bug has already been fixed on singularity test server, i just saw it

So for now drones are doing the same damage for all ships regardless of hull, don't know about fighters or fighter bombers.


Ships affected (tested):
Dominix
Ishtar
Rattlesnake
Sin
Gila
Myrmidon
Vexor
Arbitrator
Curse
Pilgrim
Moros

So in other words, pen + paper > CCP? Geez, maybe we should all be playing "Incarna: The Text Adventure."

And TBH, this is a serious effing bug. Why isn't it fixed yesterday? This nerfs sooooo many ships...

On the other hand, people who complain about getting their big lumbering beast ships whelped by a bunch of small Gallente winners now have only themselves to blame for dying to a bunch of handicaps.

It's bugged visually when you look at drone stats but the damage bonus is actually being applied ingame:

Following test runs (on TQ, just moments ago):

Omen Navy w/ Ogre II (lol) vs stationary Typhoon:

Drone consistently got excellent hits (except when it missed once) for approximately 270.

Ishtar w/ Ogre II vs same Typhoon:

Drone consistently got excellent hits for approximately 420.

My test sample was pretty small - about 3 or 4 for each but it's still a noticable difference between the two ships.

Have you guys actually run tests on applied damage?

From what I understand the damagebonus does apply in practice

Yes i have tested golem vs rattlesnake (Both bs on level 5).
I did the same damage on the same npc battleship at the same time with hammerheads as a friend of mine did when we tested it out.
So for me drone damage from hull is not applied (tested on above ships).
