Ok, so to start off, we ran a 4 man fleet for these sites (3 dps, 1 salv), and all has gone well … until we reached part 4 and part 5 … all of a sudden none of us were getting increased numbers for part 4 or part 5 … so we decided to perform a series of tests … all tests performed with only the 3 members … no extra players … this has to be clean … all tests performed in the Traun system of the Ani constellation of the Metropolis region.
Test 1 - 3 man fleet, beat the hell out of the field, kill almost everything, everyone bash the Battleship. End result was loot only, no increase in numbers for the individual parts for anyone.
Test 2 - 3 man fleet, beat the hell out of the field, kill almost everything, 2 fleet members withdraw dps and allow 1 member to bash the Battleship. End result was loot only, no increase in numbers for the individual parts for anyone.
Test 3 - disband the fleet, all go to the site, beat the hell out of the field, kill almost everything, 2 solos withdraw dps, 1 solo kills Battleship. End result was loot only, no increase in numbers for the individual parts for anyone.
Test 4 - everyone logout, open client, verify the integrity of downloaded files and purge extra files - 1 client clean, 2nd client clean, 3rd and 4th client 5 corrupt files, 202 extra files deleted (uh oh) … now all clients good and clean “lets go” … login … no fleet, 3x solo engagement, all lay waste to the field … Battleship aggressed and destroyed by a solo player, no assists what-so-ever … end result the 1 solo killer (after relog) went from 3/10 part 4 to 6/10 part 4 … HOWEVER DURING TEST 4 NO +1 FOR ANYONE …
Test 5 - would love to move to another system to try and start again but we are all now discouraged and dont want to do this anymore … someone please fix this … this isnt right …
