We have noticed that gunner manned cap swarm turrets are doing zero damage. They do have a concussive effect on the target. If the capship pilot fire swarms, they do damage.

They were damaging me fine when fired at me in latos h-2 a bit ago, I'm pretty sure a gunner fired them too, as I killed the pilot/owner. I have noticed sometimes they do do 0 damage though. Maybe it is because a plugin is being used? Have you tried actually firing them from the gunner seat without one?

I acted as a gunner this afternoon for someone, and both manually fired and plugin fired swarms did zero damage. The pilot's swarm's had full effect. (around 20:00 today)

Yeah I’m having the same issue with them doing no damage while ppl using alias exploits are still beating the fire rate limit.

This is why I need to get off my ass and get a Goli (at least), I'd get that reload exploit fixed in days, not years... (look at what happened when I lmined raybondo in odia, for example :P) Strange that I managed to get shot by a gunner though, and like I said, I'm pretty sure it was a gunner that dropped my health.

We did some farther testing. Gunner fired energy weapons (and rails) do damage. Gunner fired swarms and gem turrets do zero damage. We have not test firecrackers yet. Will update this post when we do.

Is the gunner leaving the turret (and maybe going to a different turret or launching in their ship) before the missiles hit the target?

Ok, found the problem and released a patch to fix it.

Just thought I would pop in here, and say I am still getting this. I stack a few volleys from my Goliath bottom and top ports with cap swarms, against many different types of bots, and they work fine for a few switches. I am using Turrethop plug in, to quickly move between my turrets, on PC, and notice after a short period of time, the bots start just disappearing, instead of exploding, and then CapSwarms stop doing dmg, but the concussive force is still experienced. I have no gunners, or other ppl in my ship, just me hopping from turret to turret with binds.

@Xymerian Monk, that could just be "sector lag", which usually gets resolved after jumping in and out of the sector. I have had a similar experience with flares disappearing into the target and while the concussion is visible, no damage is dealt.
