  1. Recently I have been popping in 2 shots when changing configs (even in 1v1)? Something is wrong... Has the formations been nerfed or is this a glitch? It has happened too much lately and I'm considering just leaving the game. I'm positive I have a decent account and this has ruined the game for me...

    To add, I think shared dmge and shld is unreasonable for players that are outnumbered?!

    I am not aware of any glitch but will keep an eye our for similar comments.

    Do you have any concerns related to this topic?

  3. Yes, something seems to be going on lately. I've noticed the same thing. I'm in a fight, the opponent seems to be doing well then suddenly they go poof. Is probably when they change configs as you've mentioned. I was wondering why suddenly I got so strong lol

    When changing configs, your shield depletes to 0 and then loads your config. It's almost instantaneous, but if you get hit right when that happens, you take all the damage straight to HP. In your 1v1s from now on, don't switch configs until you've put some distance between you and the opponent.

  6. I think that you are right and the shield depletes...Another stupid idea to help newbs...It should have been mentioned somewhere, shouldn't it?..

    if that's true...
    I don't like it!... It should be changed back to the original version ..

    Yeah, I died the similar way while fighting almost dead ship running on port. With Leo but double shield boosters, I was using UCB, 3030 and RL ubers then switched config just to make sure I win then just popped. Was pretty confused as to what happened, now I understand.

    please explain. in what way does this help newbs? the way i'm reading it, it HURTS everyone.
     
  9. Sounds like the same as the demil killers. You can be sitting on a port cloaked chatting and some players are able to blast you. Seems the game cant figure out its own math. ( I wonder if the same guy that does the 'special good deal sales offers' did that also)
     
  10. With Orbit anything is possible. I have been killed multiple times this week by just a few hit despite having full HP and shields.
    Amazing the damage these days in the game normal or hacked.

  11. @thor714 ,
    I guess you are right, however, if a newbie shoots at an enemy on low power and the ufe has time to change configs there's a chance that the second config could end up useless- which is annoying.
    To clarify your point, an ufe player has been weakened further....For the reason that, it will make absolutely no difference to a newbie because they would pop straight away anyway, wouldn't they? (In a similar scenario((vice versa)).

    :)

    @zombiedude,
    I am hoping Dark Orbit will turn around and say it's a program player's are using nd the game goes back to the original version because the current situation in PvP is awful....
    :(

  12. Yep I think this is something that needs attention by the developers.

    Something just isn't right here. It could very well be a small glitch type thing that has happened during the coding or what ever when they did the merges or resent updates.

    Hoping this gets fixed.. sooner than later, we already have too many broken thing in the game :confused:
