| Summary | 0027063: Fusion weapons bypassing bubble shields | ||||
| Description | Per a discussion on discord, it was said this shouldn't happen and is a bug. I'm not sure why they wouldn't bypass bubble forcefields, but I guess that's a choice for balancing people. Mirages in the attached save attacking the Daring system. They could care less about the bubble forcefield. | ||||

Why is this considered a bug? It sounds like reasonable behaviour to me. Fusion damage that bypasses regular shields to hit the hull seems like it should have a similar effect for bubble shields |
|
|
In retrospect I think it was due to a misunderstanding in a discussion based upon how damage moves through bubble forcefields and regular forcefields. I believe it was thought that the Mirages were hitting a unit under the forcefield, but the forcefield generator (which wasn't targeted) was taking damage. In this case I believe the Mirages were targeting the forcefield generator and the forcefield generator was taking hull damage as the targeted unit. Incorrect understanding: Mirage shoots Bomber under ForceField Frigate Bubble, but the Frigate takes hull damage (probably isn't what is observed.) Correct understanding: Mirage shoots ForceField Frigate and Frigate takes hull damage. |

Any damage that goes to a unit under a bubble forcefield should go to the forcefield. Fusion damage will apply to the bubble forcefield generator. So if I'm hitting unit A under a forcefield, all my damage goes to forcefield generator B. Once the forcefield is down, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1Dqi3Um0jM |

CRCGamer and Daniexpert both said it was a bug. The tooltip on the fusion weapon says 'bypassing any personal shield (NOT bubble forcefields)' |
|
|
Hmm. Well, maybe we should modify the tooltip. Is there a good reason why bubble forcefields should be immune to fusion? |
|
|
Fix a bug where bubble shields from modules were not immune to fusion's shield bypass |
