PET shooting issue.

Hello.

Problem is... if other ship is cloacked and i try to shoot his PET,it just wont shoot.On own company PET i get note that i will loose honor shooting etc.. and then just loosing lock.If enemy company ship cloacked and i try shoot his PET , then it shoots once doing no damage and loosing lock again.At same time everybody else can shoot my PET.

Not sure if I understand. So when you try shooting an enemy pet, you can't shoot the pet or the pet doesn't shoot back at you?

 

If the pet is to far from it's owner, it can't be shot and/or won't take damage.

 

First of all - A cloaked pet is cloaked until it gets to far from the owners ship and then it does lose its cloaked protection.

Also a pet does appear on the mini map as an additional dot. Making it to where players who fly by the mini map can click it and lock it. Please note that catching cloakers is a special skill and many can do it, whereas others have difficulty.

As for losing honor on a PET kill, when you kill your own PET or a member of your clan or company, you will take negative honor. Shooting an enemies PET you should not.

lag may play a part in why you are having trouble locking the PET.

Another thing that you might consider, is when you jump a map the PET reverts back to the passive mod. If you want the PET to attack, it will need to be on guard mode.
The pet will also only fire if you have lasers equipped.

I hope that this is helpful in some way.

Sorry im non english so will try explain again.
I cant shoot enemy pet when enemy ship is cloacked.I lock pet try to shoot it and my ship dosent shoot it.Same with my own company pets. When main ship cloacked i cant shoot pet.Same time everybody else can shoot my pet am i cloacked or not..and dosent matter how far is my pet from me.
I lock pet i can see it name in outfit window..i see its owner close to it and i still cant shoot it.After few attempts to shoot it i loose lock on it. I lock again and same trouble.

 

Its not problem to lock cloacked pet..i have it on lock but cant shoot it.

 

I have had the same issue as kris, and trust me my computer can run darkorbit for hours without refreshing, and it still won't lag!!! The issue is not lag it may be a glitch, but I know for a fact I have clicked pets, and nothing happened when I tried to shoot it, either someone is cheating, or like I said it's a glitch but I do not lag and I hate when people try to blame it on lag, some people may lag in this game true, but not ME!

 

Hi there,

Apologies for the unacceptable delay of a response.

To expand upon what has already been suggested by Astraea and other users in this thread, this is an issue that i find common upon users who i find that have their P.E.T active but are moving through a map. Therefore, i believe a large part of this issue could be blamed upon graphical lag where the P.E.T is trying to be in one position based on the user moving, but the graphical lag causes it to 'appear' to you to be in another position.
