#Temporrary weaker after going offline?

I'm not sure how to describe this, but this is what going on.

I left the game with stable "battle power" in 74 - 40-50%ish (I can keep up my position for a whole hour without needing to use skills). I wake up and start the game, but I retreated a few times without touching anything (just looking at the condition of my crews), as if the autocannon hits me harder than before. I checked up if anything happen to my shield modifier (reactor being the usual culprit, v device, and synth mod) but they're online. This happened until 73 70% which is a BIG setback and I'm pretty sure something is wrong.

Initially just wanted to check if Crew XP shard is doing the issue or not (because the level up bar timer went crazy high to 9h), I removed it from Green and put it back up.

Suddenly my "battle power" is back and I keep slicing them until I recovered my position on 74 - 40-50%.
What's going on?

Unfortunately I didn't screenshot numbers, but since this is the 2nd time happening (first one was long time ago when I first arrived at 71 I think), I'll take it next time it's happening.

my config (taken after I put back the heart mod in the same place)

#

also, I'm not very sure, but I think I saw my shield at e107 sometime, and now it's e109, so perhaps that explains why I'm got weaker (my shield went 1% of what it was), though I'm not very sure what modifier that's loss.

hmmmm, can you currently do this every time by closing and re-opening game?>

no, after this I tried to close and reopen the game (after I re-placed the heart mod) and it worked fine (I can hold on the 74 just fine). Not really sure what happen, and I already checked things like reactor (very possible culprit), synth, shards. I retreated several times before 'refreshing' it worked.

#

if this happens again, do you have suggestion what should I do?

I have some might be helpful in mind:

  1. Immediately save
  2. Screenshot cores, reactors, crews(?), vdevice, synth modules, (what else?)
  3. Screenshot stats for damage and shield

anything else?

  1. Screenshot the damage stats and info page to get the enitre stat list.
    Then when its working fully screen shot that to compare and we can see what system/upgrade has a weird "doesnt activate yet" thing going on

Nope not yet

I'll keep an eye on it. For time being this can be archived and I'll contact you if this happens again

It just happened to me, and I managed to get a screenshot of one of the damage screens. Lower number is from just after restarting the game, higher number is after dying once and being forced back a sector (broken into two screenshots)
Edit: v 0.52.1.5

ok, I found another instance, though this time it is resolved by different manner

I think the reactor tab is the culprit.
I think somehow the offline system thought my VM income is decreasing, thus setting the converted VM lower than it should be and reduced my att-shield output.
Setting it to max remedy the situation quickly.

#

I haven't screenshotted the others because it recovered fast as soon as I kill ships

hmmm, so you come back online -> auto reactor stuff is set lower then it was -> weaker?
