Respawning Helman Overseers and Seemingly Interminable Ion Storms

Jul 24, 2005 DekuDekuplex Ornitier link
Yesterday, I was fighting solo in an ion storm against a Hive Queen and its minions in an asteroid field in Sedina B-11 on the test server.

After killing the Hive Queen, I tried to wipe out the rest of the robots. However, the Fennus R-18 Guardians and Helman K-3 Overseers kept respawning. Also, the ion storm continued to rage on, even after more than two hours.

I just revisited the sector, thirteen hours after killing the Hive Queen, and the storm is still raging. According to one of the help messages that appear on the loading screens, aren't those storms supposed to go away after only about two to three hours?

There seem to be two problems with this situation:

1) Helman Overseers and Fennus Guardians should not respawn after the Hive Queen dies, because they are part of her minions, and one of main points of killing the Hive Queen in the first place is to keep them from respawning.

2) Ion storms should not continue beyond two to three hours, because this contradicts one of the waiting-screen help messages.

well as for 13 hours later could be it was just a diffrent one in the same place.

Time is allot slower on the test server, I still have buddy messages that pop up from back at the first day on the server. So I really would not judge the game based on the test server.

There is a reason it's just a test server. :P
