Thankyou for the bug report,

I ran the two versions of the Anomic Team burner mission you mentioned above multiple times, from before and after after the Parallax release, and saw no difference in their stats or behaviour. If you continue to see any issue with this mission, please do not hesitate to contact us again

ShockedWhat?

well thats a bit weird

Hey folks, as Ploing mentioned above, I've observed no differences between the burner missions before and after the Parallax released.

Lets confirm a couple things before we continue:

- Burner missions should be entirely unchanged after Parallax
- Any changes to Drifters would have no effect on Burners (Drifters use a completely new AI system)

That being said, it's clear people are experiencing something different after this patch and I'm looking further into this to find out exactly whats going on. To that end can people please post the fits they are using that are now not fairing as well after the patch.

Thanks!

Hi Lebowski!

The change is exclusive (as far as I've been able to test) to TEAM burners, specifically, the LOGI REPAIR RATE. Focus on this exclusively. The BURNER rat as far as I can tell has had no change to it. I tested with an ECM fit and the burner rat goes down as fast as always with no logi supporting it. I don't *think* it's the ship/fit as people using Hawks and Harpies have experienced the same issue.

Before the patch, the fit below was able to 'brute force' through a single logi's reps being applied to another logi even while NOT overheating. Overheating would decrease the time to kill the logi but was not strictly nessesary. Additionally for two of the team burners (Hawk and Enyo) you only had to kill ONE of the logi. You could then brute force through the surviving logi's reps on the burner itself. The Vengeance and Jaguar team burner I had to kill both logis before the patch to kill the burner rat. This is all before yesterdays patch.

Here is the fit:

My skills are not maxed but really, really close and I have implants as well.

AFTER the patch:
I tested yesterday and was able to make headway on one of the BURST logi shields with the above fit ONLY while OH. Without OH I was not able to do any damage at all. With OH I was not able to break through the shield before my launchers would burn out. I got to about 3/4 of the way. I then kept firing at it without OH. The shield slowly regenned until I ran out of my initial 150 rocket clip. After reloading the shields were fully repaired.

I've had multiple other people test it. everyone confirms the exact same thing. The question is not IF something went wrong, only WHAT. I hope this information will help you find out what changed.

Thanks.

so far it seems only the teamburners with logi are affected. other burners went well so far. happend first after yesterdays patch.

oh with my implants it does 337 dps. was able to break the first logi (bantam) with something around 80-90% heatdamage.
normally i kill only the first logi and go straight to the burner at the hawkmission. this took something between 1- 1:20 min.

since yesterday this took around 6:30 min and others could not break the logi.

If it counts for anything my gut feeling is it's something to do with fequency/duration/chance of logi reps rather than the numbers with how MUCH they rep. Might be something to look at.

All the ships I've heard being used that had the issue seems to be missile boats, although one guy did mention using a blaster daredevil? I though about it but when I jammed out the logis in my new fit I was able to blitz down the burner in less than 30sec. Maybe the logi's defender missiles?

For the burner Veng mission:
Before the first logi took something like 20 rounds to kill with overheat.
Since yesterday it takes around 60 rounds overheated ending mostly with guns burnt at around 80%.
Did it four times now since dt yesterday and it was always the same.

Worm seems to have sometimes extreme alpha sending you directly into structure with one shot.
Happened only once.

Yea, the rocket volleys still do the same damage as before, unless the logi defender missiles wipe out entire volleys. I will need to test.

You guys rock, thanks to all your awesome info I've got this occurring here for our programmers to see and it looks like we've got some clues as to the cause of this which we're investigating now.

Thanks again!

I was unable to break any of the logi on the Team Burners, either. With V missile skills, +6 implants and OH polarized rockets the best I was able to achieve was getting one of the logistics down to 50% shield.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Yup, sounds like they found the issue, quite curious to see what it was Big smile

I wonder if you could get away with a pair of multispectral ECM jammers? Incidentally, I found that applying ECM to both logistics (whether successful or not) seemed to disrupt logistics to some extent.

Just tried team hawk.

I cant break the first bantam's tank with this fit anymore. It used to work just fine.

Well ECM does SEEM to occasionally make the jammed logi retreat out of range.

However it is hard to tell if that is actually genuine AI behavior or just coincidence because they are tethering in some fashion as you get further from warp in point.

My hunch is AI behaviour becasue its almost always the jammed frigate that runs away first.

This is normal and very typical AI behavior actually. I saw it a LOT in wormhole space. We'd jam the last rats in a site to warp the capitals off and they would fly off. It's a guaranteed effect of jamming a rat.

So potentially sticking one ECM on each logi and shooting at the burner may work for team burners.

If both jams land, yes. That's the tactic I currently use until they find the bug with team burners or if they decide to buff team burners. an alternative is to put both jams on one logi and burst the other one down.
