Shooting a room that is red instantly repairs it

Postby Ben3000 » Mon Feb 23, 2015 4:06 am

i've seen this bug quite a few times on ipad. i'll shoot a room with a system that is already disabled (red), and the instant the laser hits, the system turns either orange or grey. i think this only happens with lasers. i've seen it happen on unmanned drones, and regular ships. i've seen it happen when an enemy crewman is in the room, and when there is no crew in the room. you might think it's just a coincidence that the laser hit just as the system was finished repairing, but i have seen this happen too many times for it to be a coincidence.

Automated ships self-repair. You probably hit it just at the same time the yellow progress bar went over and you didn't have the sensors for it.

Also, were you using that nano-repair bomb by any chance? Because I think those are designed for your own ship.

Lastly, were you using any mods?

And more importantly, shooting a room doesn't knock it down completely. If it's 99% completed when you hit it, a millisecond later it'll be fixed.
