    Good morning,

    Im fairly new to the game.

    I think my lasers arent causing the damage they should be doing.

    The ammo Im using for my lasers are LCB-10.

    I currently have 3 LF-3 and 12 LF-1 in my goliath ship and I have 3 flex drones with each having there own LF-1 laser.

    LF-3 shoot 100 damage each and LF-1 shoot 40 damage.

    This should total out to be in damage 1050 each laser shot but I usually only see 350-400 damage per laser when shooting enemies.

    Maybe Im right maybe Im wrong but can somebody help me?

    My game ID is : 161153501.

    I thank you for your time I will wait for a reply, regards.

    As I am not the Mathematical member of the Team, but i did locate some information that might help to figure it out...

    Please look at the Laser Damage Chart <<< click here to see more information on lasers.

    Please also remember that the numbers you are seeing are inflicted damage. Many new players have shots that miss the targets and therefore are not counted in that total, thus showing a lower number. The higher in rank, honor etc you get the better your ship will be come.

    You can also get an item called:
    - Targeting Guidance CPU 1: Improves your chances of hitting a ship and reduces the rate of ship lasers missing the target by 25%. It uses 10 Xenomit per volley.

    - Targeting Guidance CPU 2: Improves your chances of hitting a ship and reduces the rate of ship lasers missing the target by 50%. It uses 10 Xenomit per volley.

    These might help to increase your damage ratio.

    I hope this information is of some help.
    Have a great day!

  3. 2 problems there drones should have your lf3s on
    and the other lf3s do 150 dmg each not 100

    sorry astrea but in this case the dmg chart has no use as it full lasers not mixed :s

    but yeah will will not see the max dmg of your ship hits all the time

    Doesn't take a mathematical genius to add up the laser figures and agree that the OP is correct in his calculation that the total hit is 1050. Normally you will hit (when you hit) anywhere up to 30% less than your max.

    Forgetting about any other boosts that may be received from drones etc the OP should be hitting no less than 700 damage so if he is seeing no higher than 400 then it seems there is a problem.

    String is correct though, with any ship other than the leonov in lower maps, you should put your best equipment in the drones to increase it's potential but I don't understand why you are only hitting say 35% - 40% of what you should be hitting.

    Hello Astrea, String and Whoeva,

    My ships laser damage was working correctly until today again.

    My max damage is again around 400 max with all 18 lasers since the last time I reported this issue above.

    I have a rocket launcher 2 installed and in the game it says NO LAUNCHER INSTALLED.

    Also have Cargo Bay expansion on a Goliath and Cargo space is at max 2000 when it should be 4000.

    Whoeva I have now installed my best laser the LF3 onto my 3 Flexdrones but the damage outcomes are the same.

    Ive cleaned cookies, cache, updated flash and java to latest version on Firefox, Chrome, Yandex and Safari and issue is still there.

    Also restarted my computer and the game continues to show the same results.

    This is definitely an issue with the game and not my computer.

    Can somebody help me or do I have to be a paid suscribed user for help because I do find it hard as it is beating NPC when my total damage was at 1000 and now all of a sudden its back at 400 again.

    This is happening all to often.

    Other advanced players have told me again and again that this should not be happening.

    Any help will be apreciated guys, regards and thanks your advice and help.

    Are you sure you have installed the equipment on both configurations?
     
  7. take it 2 support m8 nout us players can do now we have give you the info we can and from whoeva says there is a problem and support can look into it
     
  8. Only support can deal with this. But i will add this. Your lasers will not ALL HIT. half of them CAN MISS while half hit. This is what bio upgrades are for. I should hit 47k x4 on my speed confige all the time, but i sometimes hit 43k because lasers miss.

    Hi Israelingo, having done extensive work on laser damage. Firstly the damage range is maximum total damage value to 75% of maximum.
    So if your max laser damage is 1000 then your range will be 750 to 1000.

    I would check first that you have you lasers set up on both configs. If you have different laser set up for both your configs, post what lasers you have on your ship and drones for both configs and we can calculate what your damage range should normally be.

    Occasionally there is a hangar bug that manifest in not seeing some items loaded, a fix for some accounts is:-

    Remove everything from both configs ( there is a delete current config option next to the 1-2 top left of the equipment window.)

    Then log out and clear cache and flash cache. then relog and reload both configs,

    Then log out clear cache and relog. This does work for some players but not all.
