I’ve been looking on zkill and seeing that a lot of ‘wetu’ mobile depots are being killed at the same time as the Rorqual that owned it, with drones inside. The mechanic of the mobile depot is supposed to reinforce after its shield is depleted. How is it that they are getting killed instead of being…

That sounds like an exploit to me, you should not be able to bypass a reinforcement timer.

You…arent? You’re inflicting enough damage so that there isnt time for it to reinforce. If a depot has 10k shield, armor, and hull, and reinforces when shield runs out, it can only reinforce if it’s only the shield that gets stripped off. That’s why when it does reinforce, it’s often a second or two…

[image] Krysenth: The game isnt going to say “my bad, even though you overkilled this depot, it’s going to reinforce for 2 days and make you come back.” The game is going to say “DAYUM that thing is dead!” Then that is a bug. The idea of a mobile depot is that you can secure items in it.

Is it though??? He may be right that if you have enough alpha that it will instantly destroy it, happens to ships all the time. I now wonder of you can do the same to Citadels if you have enough titans/dreads???

Damage cap says no sadly :frowning:

Yeah that’s definitely a bug and not a feature working as intended. I’d be very surprised if, after it’s reported, CCP didn’t consider skipping the reinforce timer an exploit.

The fact that they even have a reinforce timer is too much safety. When my ship gets into structure can I pls invuln for 2 days?

[image] Kingkev4555_Solette: The mechanic of the mobile depot is supposed to reinforce after its shield is depleted. How is it that they are getting killed instead of being reinforced? that’s not the entire mechanic ; there’s at least two conditions they can be killed without being reinforced…

It absolutely is not too much safety. You are talking about a module which has 1000 different uses in the context of a single ship (the Rorqual). The reinforcement timer is 100% appropriate on mobile depots and it would be stupid to get rid of it over one use. If you think the Wetu is OP for saving…

I disagree as the anchoring time versus the reinforce time isn’t acceptably relative. If the reinforce was say one hour or so it would be a different story.

because if the wetu gets alpha’d then he can’t put the drones inside ?
