Has the Caustic Damage been increased?

Hi Folks,

Quick Question. Me and my friend were taking on a cyclops last night and between the two of us managed to total it. However, the caustic cloud didn't seem to be anywhere near the Alien Wreckage and when we did hit it, it ate through my T-10s hull within seconds before the decom limpet could clean it.

Have they upped the Damage rate for Caustic Damage?

The damage caused by the cloud from an interceptor death is massive, compared to the damage dealt by a caustic missile.

Thank the new lighting engine for that, the actual cloud is nigh on invisible compared to how it used to be.

IIRC, it's also bugged, it suffers from the same issue of heat damage: it gets multiplied for every commander in the same instance (or wing?) so in your case it was doubled.
