Thread: Crafted Weapons using 10x EPS...Known Issue?

I recently crafted a couple of high-end weapons and a capacitor for use in a Nova I made.

"Null Bolt" Blasterx2.

Elite Capacitor (POB only).

Got some nice results on these pretties, btw.

However, when I installed them on my Nova, the weapons appeared to be using ten times the amount of energy per shot than is listed on their stats. Even with Cap4 and no overload on the weapons, just one of these weaons would drain my capacitor in 3-4 shots.

I created another Elite capacitor, tested it, and got the same results.

So, I made another "Null Bolt" Blaster and tested it. Same results.

Now, here's the curious thing.

I tested several other weapons from my inventory, ranging from lvl 5-10, crafted and RE'd. Using the same crafted capacitors (switching between the two for testing), I discovered that some weapons would do the same thing, while others would not. It appears random.

Okay, so I tried a different test.

This time, I used a variety of different capacitors, both crafted and RE'd,with the"Null Bolt" Blasters.With some capacitors, I get the same result; on others, no effect (they work as expected). This also appears random.

So, my question is...

Is this some random bug that occurs with onlycrafted POBitems?

Has anybody else ever encountered this bug?

Did you ever run WO4 in your Nova? With these weapons?

If so, either unload and redeed your Nova, or run /eshields. It sounds like your weapons are stuck in WO4.

Better gather some more asteroid resources, you're going to want new Null Bolts and capacitor when publish 24 hits.

Yes, I used WO3 and 4, and I used CO3 and 4 also. Same results in every case. I also thought that maybe my Nova was bugged, so I re-deeded it, but this didn't help.


I was more interested in knowing if anybody else has encountered this bug?


Goraf, I have been stocking up on asteroid stuff for weeks. I have no less than 100k of each now. I appreciate the heads-up, thanks!

What you are describing is normal Energy/Shot cost for WO4, which is 10x the normal amount. Use WO3, it's broke in a good way....

"What you are describing is normal Energy/Shot cost for WO4, which is 10x the normal amount. Use WO3, it's broke in a good way.... "


Please read my initial post again. I had this problem from the start, before I used any droid command. Also, during my testing, I used both WO3 and WO4 with the newly crafted items I mentioned above and with older weapons/capacitors in my inventory. Most weapons/capacitors worked as expected under WO3/4 conditions, but many did not. I also used both Cap Overcharge 3 and 4 during testing.


For example, I have this one lvl9RE'd weapon that I paired up with my newElite Capacitor. Using WO4, it never drained the capacitor. It's EPS is 36 with a RF rate of .30. All of my new "Null Bolt" weapons completely drain most capacitors in 2-4 shotsusing the same WO4 command, but not all, though their energy and recharge rates are similar. All ofmy "Null Bolts"have an EPS rating of 38 and a RF rate of .29. This slight difference should not have the dramatic effect I'm seeing.


I hope that I'm explaining the issue adequately enough for you.


I find this odd that my crafted Elite components work correctly with some, but not all, of my other components under the same conditions.

nope you are the only guy with this "bug" ... but you are not alone. for every one in space that runs wo4 gets this so you are running it or you are playing a different game .. tell me if the devs in your game fix bugs faster i may try it out

Unless the new POB caps are gonna be 2000s with regens in the hundreds, WO4 is still gonna be a longshot, unless you've got some chronic twitchers on the glowrods with Jolt IV lines.

Numbers I have read so far indicate above 3000 energy, but same regen rate.
