It was very funny to me

DF rocket finally got nerfed.

Axeman3d · Feb 10, 2015

I've never seen the turrets working before. I too laughed my ass off. Ah well, another bug to ticket.

Jezzah · Feb 10, 2015

HAHA

that is development comedy gold for sure

I suppose its easy to revert though.

Best nerf ever. Sorry I did laugh when I read this.

Teklow82 · Feb 10, 2015

LMAO way to go FD

Phier · Feb 10, 2015

That was reported in the beta form too.

Emanon · Feb 10, 2015

Yeah, sadly this and many other issues that people are seeing and will be reporting in these forums over the next couple of days were already seen and reported in Beta. Which is why I was really surprised they were still releasing it so soon. I guess FDev just has a differently philosophy on production releases than I do.

It's actually really funny, but also really sad.

StuartGT · Feb 10, 2015

Is FDev purposely trolling the missile boaters?

A hotfix will correct it soon

mistohise · Feb 10, 2015

This is intended behaviour I believe and mentioned in the docs. It wasn't happening before just because dumbfire missiles were immune to being intercepted

This was reported by me 4 days ago AND I saw another topic on the beta release announcement forums about as well... should NOT have required a hotfix. But I guess the philosophy is deploy with bugs and fix them later, no matter how game breaking they may be.

BWAHAHAHAHAAA! *sniff* sorry, shouldn't laugh so hard.
Hehihihihi can't stop. Hope they leave it in for a while.

I don't think it's intended that your own Point Defense, shoot your own missiles. It's almost to funny....

Not sure if your joking, but no. Devs stated that PDT should never target your own ordinance of any variety. This bug was brought up in beta 1.1.... Not sure why it isn't fixed, but maybe it's really involved.

Phier · Feb 10, 2015

I wonder if our current anti-missile PD style systems like the Phalanx fire on ships own Tomahawks....

If this is working as intended, the future has really bad computers.

How does something like this slip through QA?

HipToss · Feb 10, 2015

That made me LOL!

It didn't slip through QA if one assumes the many beta testers who brought up this issue to the dev's multiple times through tickets and threads in the beta forums. THis was a well known issue that simply wasn't fixed before unleashing it on the game as a whole. I really am wondering now what the whole point of wasting time in the beta galaxy was...
