    Hello guys, I just got the Lance Formation and I see that the anti shield mines DO NOT make more damage.
    The damage is still the same, this have to be a bug... or not ?!
     
  2. Lance formation is for damage where as shield mines only diminish shields not cause damage, hope this clears up your question. Enjoy

    Shield mines make "dmg" at shield.
    Thats a fact, there is nothing to discuss.
    Like the description say: https://gyazo.com/b71e26045a049096469dd83e52b6dda3
    50% Shield damage !
    That's why I bought the formation and you can't tell me, that the Lance is not for shield mines, that's non sense !
     
  4. I want to ask do lance effect smartbombs or not ?

    No, neither does Detonation or Explosives in the pilot bio if you were wondering about that too.
     
  6. .ART98. the forums are for players to ask others for help to maybe get faster answers and help than sending in a ticket when they don't need too or to help make DO aware of game problems faster or even for players to post ideas to try making a better game. Not to argue with players and tell them they are absolutely wrong and of no help. Seems to me you don't really want any ones help in your posts, seems you only want to rants about everything that you don't like about the game. Sorry the lance formation is not what you thought it was but in the future you could ask another player that has lance formation if it worked on shield mines before you purchased it that way you wouldn't get so disappointed. On another note lance formation is a great formation has many uses when it comes to protecting bases even killing aegis players who like to drop repair pods during a pvp p.s.(they never see the ddm mine being placed right under their repair pod) :D Enjoy the game
     
  7. Damage is done to the HULL not the Shields. If you ever paid attention to the Quests telling you to Damage NPC's you would see they do not go anywhere if you are using SAB ammo but do start counting once you change to regular laser ammo. As .†ι¢є_gяιмσιяє†. points out if you want to RANT about the game and not take the responses to your posts as constructive criticism then just send tickets to Support and wait for them to respond with their useless replies instead.

    The forums will give a faster response and may not always be a true response but may give a little insight to what is thought of the issue. As shields can be regenerated (look at any NPC and see the Hull/Damage never resets but the shield does regenerate) during a battle they are not considered Damage but are necessary to be depleted to do actual damage to things with full damage dealt.
     
  8. It should effect the shield damage as well. It is a bug, and you should report it... send in a ticket to support letting them know about it. I'd keep the Lance formation regardless, as they have said...it has many uses! Good Luck.

    @.†ι¢є_gяιмσιяє†. your post is a joke, so I don't gonna reply to this.

    @ HelpMyHelpYou, I dont care what a "quest" say, if I attack your shield you get damage on it.
    Thats it.
    I already send it to the support, cause not even an Mod is helping.
    And thanks for answers like your one... its not helpful and who think damage on shield is no damage should play Famerama.
    Thats it, thread can be closed.

    I have done some testing on this matter and I can see where your concern is. I have sent a report along with my testing to ask further questions on this matter.

    I appreciate your assistance and your patience
    Have nice day

    Yes, you can use pilot points on Detonation I&II and have Lance formation active to create "Super/UFE/OUCH mines". The percentages should be cumulative with 50% of 50% giving a total 75% increase in damage.
