So a bunch of Serco and I were executing a fairly well planned (but ultimately unsuccessful) cap attempt on the Itani. Monk RX and I both experienced an odd bug upon entering 1. The Defbots tore us to pieces after the period of invincibility wore off, but we were both unable to return fire and died. What's up with that?

I reported this also. No response. I hate taking fire and not being able to fire back. A while back they did fix this very same bug but for undocking stations. It looks like it also applies to wormholes now. It's not just NPCs that can damage you. Players can do it too.

I've been complaining about this for a long time. The most response I got was from a1k0n who said "huh, it's the other way around," (meaning that you should not be able to take damage but fire.) The period of vulnerability is about 10 seconds. You cannot fire, but defbots can damage you. I've bug-reported this ages ago. One of my pet peeves, like Arolte's hornet or Dave's prom.

I think this was a miscommunication or something. I told Ray about it a while ago, and I think he increased the no-fire timer instead of the invulnerability timer. The no-fire timer happenes to be named "invulnerability timer" in a different part of the code...

Anyway, I can't think of any other reason why the code says "8+4.5". Oh, unless the warping animation is supposed to be 4.5 seconds, and then the no-fire time starts after that. Hmm.

Well its was an annoying bug, FIX IT NOW! j/k. The bots jumped me. I felt like a little girl being jumped by big 5th graders. I was going to cry.

Btw: I could not shoot... for what felt like an eterntiy... It was probably only 4 seconds though :P.

Ray says it's like this way intentionally and to ask John why. *shrug* I don't know the reason.

But yeah, I know the feeling.

/me grabs a metal wrench and runs towards Incarnate

John??? we're asking you!
