Did someone actually tested that canopies are breaking more easier than before patch?
Could actually be only an UI thing
Pfff, you made me choke on my Scotch here.
Testing?!?!?!!?
Ugh, the idea alone.......
Testing would require some kind of a baseline. As we cannot rollback our game and test pre-update, unless months or weeks someone took it upon themselves to test how strong canopies are in a controlled setting, we just have to rely on the UI integrity display and anecdotal reports of weaker canopies.
I could have sworn FDev pledged to make sure they included all changes in patch notes.
Though at this point updates to Elite are becoming Star Citizen-levels of memery. It's embarrassing at how much either breaks or isn't even mentioned whenever there's an update.
Well what are those, up there in the quote box?
Look like words to me. I just have two words: Quality Control.
Hello everyone,
Firstly, thank you for your reports and your feedback. The canopy used to break when it was at 50% integrity, however, we have fixed this so it correctly breaks at 0% integrity bringing it in line with all the other modules.
Therefore, to maintain the canopy’s current functionality, we halved its integrity. This means that the canopy should be reacting in the same way as before the April Update.
We’ve tested internally and found this to be the case, however, if there are any instances where you are seeing an issue, please let us know.
Stopping at "we have fixed this so it correctly breaks at 0% integrity" would mean indeed that you fixed it.
Where is the fix if you halved the integrity? you could just save some time and leave it as it was
Thanks for the feed-back, much appreciated
Thanks Will!Hello everyone,

Is there any chance that this could become a engineered item in the future?
As a hulltank/hybrid pilot this would be awesome!That would be great, especially for pilots of hull tanks and shield-less builds.

Tbh, I am to 99% sure that the canopy on my vulture breaks sooner than before that change.Hello everyone,

But if I understand it correctly that's what they did?!I see it as: you had 30 hitpoints and you fell dead when your hp reached 15. The correction would be to fall dead when reach 0.
But maybe it's just me shrugs
Thanks Will. Considering that there was the weekend and the thread was created on Friday and you probably had to check with the team it's a pretty fast response. Good job!Hello everyone,
