Heavy Repair Drones - existing bugs

Bug report: (Heavy Repair Drone/s sometimes do not heal)

 

Heavy Repair drones (up to 3) on some destroyers, will sometimes when deployed, but not always, not heal or register the drone on the HUD, when destroyer needs hull repair.

However, in some cases HUD display is visible, but there is no active hull repairs, when destroyer is damaged. It may be another bug, but somehow related to this issue.

 

Conditions to replicate known bugs:

  • move your destroyer close to the rock or asteroid, use your camera direction to make sure that destroyer spawns heavy repair drone inside an asteroid and observe the bug.

(it does not heal or register a heavy repair drone on the HUD, but it’s visible on the screen)

 

Logs: (check Defence Contract scenario - last 2 entries, that I played with Sirius, or simply do it yourself)

When they are inside or on the other side of an object they will not heal you. This is also the case when a damaged ally is within their area of effect. (300m)

Destroyer has all of his heavy repair drones within 300 m radius, plus heavy repair drones are not dropped, but they move with the object all the time.

It changes nothing. My bug report is different.

Not a bug

If drone spawn spot is busy, drone won’t spawn

It spawns, but it’s just inactive. That’s the problem.
