New guy questions

Post by Oathbreaker »

Not sure if these are bugs or intended or just quirks, so sorry if I'm stepping on someone's toes by posting them here.

1. The basic ion weapon, costs 30sc - (Ion Blast?) the effect seems to penetrate shields but the visual graphic does not. Umm... not sure how this is intended to work as I could've sworn that the mouse-over tooltip doesn't have a Shield Penetration rating.

2. As soon as you destroy a ship or ionize or destroy their boarding teleporter, all enemy personnel on your ship disappear. This just has to be a bug. Right?

3. Is there a list of bugs? I looked at the http://ftlwiki.com/wiki/Home but it seems to just have started, is there a list of gear and weapons somewhere?

Thanks for a great game!

1. It doesn't penetrate shields, but if it hits shields, it affects the shield generator.

2. Probably a bug?

3. There is a getsatisfaction page with all the bugs on it.

2. is definitely a bug unless the boarders were low on health and they teleported back right as their ship blew up (they will retreat if they can when low on health).
