Armada Charge Drones not working correctly when only one is equipped.

Due to my internet acting up I find myself playing with only one ACD atm. When I drop it to recharge my shield I only get 2 hits instead of the normal 4 to 6 hits when my shields are really low.

If I have more then one ACD equipped they work correctly.

I don't know if the drone isn't fully charged or what but when I look at it its shields are nearly full but will still not charge my ships shields when they are at about 20K of 160K.

But I AM a DRONER! Or at least Bonehead is. And they don't work the same when you only have one equipped. Try it ... I'll be glad to shoot you shields off so you can test it. LOL

Just clarify for me; What I'm assuming is that:

When you have one(1) charge equipped, and you deploy it(1), it heals you for 2 shots.

When you have 2+ charges equipped, and you deploy 1, it heals you for 4-6 shots.

Is this correct? If that is true, then it seems like it's a bug.




As a side note, I appreciate the succintness of your post; it was very refreshing to read something legible and without rage in it. Not just from you, either; in general.

correct

I think the current behavior of charge drones falls somewhere into the line of "Heal my target until his shields are equal to mine."

Creating a similar situation by equipping only one charge drone and deploying it to heal me matched this general behavior - if possible, could you submit a ticket giving the details of the conditions (setup, any auras, etc) that you experienced this problem under?

Much appreciated!

What did I leave out?

Everything is right there in BLACK & WHITE.

Rhino with normal 160K shield gets shot.

2+ ACD with only one deployed heals to about 80% full taking 4-6 charge shots.

1 ACD and deploying one only heals 2 shots even when the drone has over 160K shields left and the Rhino is still under 60K shields.

Try it.

No auras.
