first off, is there any reason why the targeting sight now only comes up at 100m instead of 500m like it was yesterday? you can still hit things from 500m, but you dont get any help. and second, i was just finishing my last part of my tier 3.4 mission (for storm squad, had ot destroy the nova) and i dissabled every other ship, went in on the fist run at the nova and got him down to 23% shields, sat and regened my shields, then went in for my second run. but this time i decided to use emegrency weps. once i did it f'ed my ship, and i had to sit there for at least 30 sec getting pounded by the tier 4 cannons, and the kicker...about a second after i got power back to my ship my engins were destroyed. i was just wondering why there is even such a feature in the game, it has only happened to me twice, so it isint common enough to not use eweps (or even think about it happening), and there isint anythign in the discription saying that it might overload your system--it is kind of a curve ball that i dont think that the game should have. anyway, just let me know your thoughts.

There was no patch... what are your PC specs? Have you changed ANYTHING recently?

well I just took the old X-Wing out in DS... everything seems pretty normal... I would give it a day before you draw any conclusions.
If it helps they wouldn't just change it on one server and I suspect that a server reboot might fix it, that or it is an ISP thing that will just clear up on it's own.

I assume Emergency weapons is a pilot special ability, right? If so, it allways has a chance to fail. Even at master level when you have 100% you'll fail from time to time...

Actually last night I did download about 11mb worth of file updates. *shrug* of course it could have been Launchpad detecting pad files on my end or.. something.

No , there was some sort if internal "hotfix" it seems to have introduced some (more)lag into the system. I was also having this problem in Dathomir space last night. Lead indicatior would not show up till close range and sometimes disappeared. Also it seemed to increase the "latentcy invulnerability bug". Shooting at something and scoring hit while not doing any damage.

Yes, after this mystery download last night.. my FPS were suddenly bouncing up and down between 6 and 30 from second to second, and my ping would SKYROCKET every time my FPS dropped.
Finally had to go retweak my entire system just to get rid of it. Still not 100% sure what made it go away.

normally weapon emergencies cause the the weapon to draw more energy from your reactor. If you are running close to max reactor then you ship will not work until the extra draw stops trying to overload your reactor. I use droid commands now. just over load your reactor first the run the overload weapon commands.
