[TI] Spectral Lancer does not work properly?

I am asking does it work properly, I have Leonov, which should have the possibility on own maps to deal 2x damage with the lasers that is in ship. So I have now 3 Spectral Lancer II lasers and 3 LF-3, so the max damage should be 1,770 + 6 Spectral Lancer II in drones (145 * 6 + 1,770 = 2,640). However, even I know the damage splits up, but I hit max 2,060 and usually it's 1,800-1,900. It makes sense if I hit always under 100, but with single laser, it never happens.

Someone said they don't work properly at all, but asking here something.

 

the way to check it is to take all lasers off the drones [replace with shields] and have only 1 spectral on the hull [one config]. without any boost you should hit around 330. i just checked mine with one and it averaged around 540. take off the Sep boost [540/1.6] the damage unboosted was 336~ish. divide this by two [double damage on hull mounted lasers] and the average per laser is around 168; which is reasonable with 175 max damage lasers PvE.

my bad, I have SLL- III's, but the same idea applies; one laser on the hull should hit around [168/175 = .96] {145x0.96 = 139}x2 = ~278 unboosted. this might be a bit high, but should be close. remember this is PvE; when PvP max damage is only 90.

 

It works properly, but still this amazes me how big is the difference with one laser and 12 lasers, which has also LF-3. With one Spectral Lancer laser, I shot 30 times and average damage was 254, when with full damage with those drones it was about 1,900. It's still 740 damage from the max damage, and I never hit even a near that (max was something like 2,200 in that 30 time test, even if the math tells the max should be 2,640). And yes, my LF-3 lasers is in ship, not in drones.

Even though this is good enough. I'll do another test with full LF-3 when its possible. I don't think this is worth enough for wasting valuable time to fix, if nothing is proven it's malfunctioning. Thank you anyways!

 

Honestly, spectral lancer lasers are bugged when equipped on drones as they deal lesser damage. Spectral lancers are fine when on ship and on PET but currently not drones. This bugged exists since the laser was introduced, but before they were bugged at drones and PET, and recently they said it was fixed but it turnsout that the bug when equipped on PET was solved and not when equipped on drones. I already reported this to support a month ago and they just told me that they would look at the issue and solve it.

I made a video about the bug for a proof for support. Full LF3 vs Full SLL3 both equipped on drones only as those lasers when equipped on ship is not bugged.

Hello Sapphire,

Thank you both for assisting the user with their concern. Unfortunately this issue has not been resolved yet, but I have personally passed up the issue recently and we are awaiting a fix from the development tech team. The issue was that the SLL would deal less damage when they were on drones, but that issue was fixed. Now the current issue is the lasers deal less damage when they are ALL on drone slots. If you were to put 2 SLL on the same drone slot you would get the correct damage output, but once you add another laser onto a different drone slot the damage would not calculate correct. The problem pops up when we add all SLL to the drone slots :/







As stated above the issue is being investigated and we have no fix date as of yet. Your patience is greatly appreciated and we ask if you the Original Poster have any further questions/concerns or may we close?
