Signature Masking R10+ PVE AI Bug

Bug Report Section Modules
#1

  1. Whenever a guard frigate has this module active, AI behave very strange and run away from the guard frigate. AI will not shoot while they are being affected.

  2. This behavior only happens for rank 10 or higher so I believe it is a bug. It is also extremely abusive to ensure easy victories.

  3. Happens every game involving a guard frigate using this module at rank 10 or higher.

  4. From my experience the guard frigate simply turns it on and does any type of damage to send the AI into the bugged state. AI outside of the module range appear to behave normally until they are exposed to it.

  5. AI will stop attacking when they are exposed to this debuff. Some will retreat to a safe distance and others will spin in circles.

  6. I am currently not at home but I will add files if necessary. It is extremely easy to reproduce.

I have already noticed quite a few people exploiting this bugged AI behavior and I am surprised nobody has reported it. Hopefully this can be fixed since a lot of games are being won from a single guard frigate having signature masking on. PVE is supposed to be hard at the higher tiers and this is a major issue.

Pyro Beam also causes this effect, though the enemies simply scatter in all directions and keep flying until they hit the edge of the map.

Interesting, that might need to be noted before they release the next set of destroyers. Rank 10+ PVE will just be silly with that happening as well.

Looks like it’s some kind of smart bot code gone wrong, they are supposed to get away from danger area damage but then don’t gather the fact that it has finished :slight_smile:

One would only assume. Though they already do that insanely annoying spin thing that players can’t do. That’s about all they makes them any decently difficult target.

Even LRF’s that are sniping can do this roll thing! How does that even happen?!?!
