“Funny hull”, or stacking resistances to above 80%, was patched today with a flat cap on resistances. That’s good- should have been the case years ago, even though I’ve had my fun with the funny hull.

What is not good is doubling up on the “fix”- adding absolute damage to the reverb cascade lasers that station interiors use. These lasers are not just used in station interiors, which is where the sticking point arises- they’re also used on ATR. ATR is regularly encountered during normal BGS and Powerplay gameplay, and a buff to them is inordinately disruptive to those gamemodes, much more than 80%+ thermal resistance ever was.

Or just remove the buff from ATR. They are tough enough already.

if I’m wrong btw please let me know

#

But ATR did not need a buff

What's with settlement guns

#

Will I ever be able to escape if the alert is running?

#

Or stronghold carrier lasers? Is fdev sure there will be no side effect?

In which scenario do you encounter ATR? Seems like I'm not doing normal Powerplay or BGS these days...

ATR will spawn after a certain number of clean ship kills. The amount of kills required are determined by security level of the system.
4 kills on high
8 kills on medium
16 kills on low

#

And why would you want to do so many clean kills to manipulate BGS or Powerplay?

#

Clean ship kills counts as a negative action against a faction. If you want to lower one down, you kill their ships

#

It also has an effect on the security slider, so you can remove things like civil liberty, or induce civil unrest/lockdowns

I do those things with other methods that are more efficient.

I believe those are normal lasers but I haven’t seen any direct evidence myself
