Drone Effect. Shield

I bought Iris, it's my first drone and equipped it with Shield generator. Now he is in 3level but I noticed that his one slot gives shield boost for my ship us much as the Flax in 6 level. It doesn't make sense, because flax effect is 20% for shield, and now for my iris is 8% effect, so how can be the same amount of boost? For Iris should be less by 12%.

 

That is weird, never seen this before.

Maybe the shields of all the UFE's are gonna have to be "recalculated" again, like they did a year ago when players were given too high a % boost when upgrading shields and drones, then DO brought everyone back down again, remember that fiasco ?

 

Question, before taking the screenshots, did you refresh after placing the items. Its very likly that the numbers freeze, and will display old data until you shoot something, or refresh.

 

I tried to log out, tried to change config, tried to shoot npc, but its the same... Looks like dosn't matter if you are using 1st level Iris or 3rd level, boosted amount looks like same, +20 %. And don't think that it could be freezing numbers, when I upgraded Iris with generator, my shield started charging from zero.

 

I don't think the Effect means anything ...
All drones are the same the difference is just the number of slots...

 

That is very weird.

 

Then you should think like so, If you are full of Iris in max level and you saw opponent with Iris in 1st level - you are mistaken if you think that he is weaker and you easily can kill him. DAMN NOOO. It doesn't make sence . . .

 

The only thing I can think is to log out of the game, make the changes and then log back into the space map to check. Recently I removed shields from drones and replaced them with lasers on a different ship to the one I was flying, then warped it in and went into galaxy gate and the damage was lower than it should have been. After I logged out and logged back into the map the damage was correct so I think there is an issue with making changes to configuration while being logged into the game.

 

I would say the same thing Whoevea, yet he says he re-logged and all that Jazz. So basically a lvl 3 iris has the same 20% boost that only a level 6 should have...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ? Im about to rep one of my drones jjust to tests this myself....

 

And post here of your effect. Can't believe that isues is just for me.

 

I can't test your situation exactly,as I have all Iris and I'm not selling one to check . But I am testing the shield output at every level for my Zeus which I just repaired.

ZEUS level 1: (havoks on, sep on, ONE shield gen on(level1)) : 27,048 shields
IRIS level 6 : (havoks, sep, ONE shield gen (lvl1)) : 27,048 shields

(both in regular drone formation)

After just this little test, it seems that shields ARE disregarding the level of your drones..... It seems as if you get the level 6 bonus automatically.... I will test as I level my Zeus back up, but I'm still getting the max, so it should just stay at 27,048. Hope that helps, I'll edit this post in a day or two, but shields should just stay at 27,048 !

JUst checked using heart formation, both were at 29,753...so no change.

I should mention both my drones are upgraded to level 16 (uri upgrades), that might make a difference ?

 

What about this?
1. Clean all configs (ship, drones, pet)
- Then place 1 x SHIELD on a ship
- See the amount of shield it gives in the game

2. Clean all configs (ship, drones, pet)
- Place 1 x SHIELD on a drone (flax/iris)
- See the amount of shield it gives in the game

= Then just compare to see whether the 'Bonuses' do actually work? :O

 

No need to do all that, you could see the shield bar refresh, then regen to full from from zero. Both tests had the same amounts. I changed ship skins too, testing that extra bonus (which had no change between the two btw), but the point is the ship image changed on the page, so everything was refreshing (as it should anyways).

I'm not going try these advises. It's good for me for now like it is, if you don't care - so and me.

 

HAHA Astreaea, don't choke on all that sarcasm !! , It's WONDERFUL to see you too !

As the player appears to be happy with the situation as it is.
