Starmade | Defensive Ion Effect Not Affecting Docked Entities
Closed, FinishedPublic
Actions

Description

The defensive ion effect doesn't protect docked entities. Not sure if this a bug or intended, but this way the main ship's defensive ion can be nullified by simply targeting its docked entities. This turns shield sharing into a disadvantage.

It was intended back when I asked about it but that was before shield sharing, seems to be a good idea to put that in now.

Interesting issue, However, with the recent change to 25% there needs to be some counter balance. This could also promote tactical targeting instead of derping the mother ship itself.

None the less, I shall conduct my testing shortly.

I suggest that either the mass of all docked entities is taken into account for calculating the strength of the ion effect - as long as shield sharing is active! - or that defensive ion on docked entities also affects shared shields (requires fixing of T320/T382).

-Confirmed-

Bug confirmed, shields on docked stuff are not covered by ion affect on the mother ship.

Steps to reproduce:

Dock something to an ion affect ship
Shoot at it
Watch how the mother ship loses shields faster when you shoot at the docked stuff then it does if you shoot directly at the ship.

-QA Testing-

Seems fine, when the ship with ion effect enabled takes damage related to shield sharing, it uses the reduced value.
