Mining Fleet Bonus - New EVE BUG from CCP

Post by Rusty69 »

Ok guys, if you havent noticed this by now there is a CCP bug when it comes to fleet bonuses. For example for can have 4 miners and a orca...you have set up the fleet correctly with orca toon as squad commander, you get the green tick and all your miners under him..so they get bonuses correct. Ok..this has been going on for a while but since the launch of this new patch i've noticed nearly everytime i've setup my fleet. I have the same setup as above and basically only 2 or 3 of the toons are getting bonuses...so all your timings on TM going to be out. Just then i went on the 2 toons that werent getting bonuses..right-clicked on the miner to see what it said...one said i was getting 255sec (bonus) and the other toon said 341 (no bonus) but clearly both werent getting bonuses. I havent petitioned yet as over obvious reasons ;)...but yer just a heads up if you experiencing the same thing and wondering why your timings are out.

Re-logging sometimes works, or a simple leave fleet, join fleet works most of the time though. First time i noticed this was my orca toon dropped...but the rest of my miners still mining..i'm like, meh cant be bothered to log in the orca again or change TM settings. Looked at my screen later and wondered why all my toons were still getting 12 blocks of ice on the same timings....lol they were all still getting bonuses :lol:. Thinking..this will be a nice expliot..i couldnt replicate it again :(..but yer the problem does exist...and as said seem even worse this patch.

Keep in mind too as this may problay also effect command ships and comm T3s and titan bonuses aswell..so if you pvp and have a damnation or vulture, etc with all the bonus modules on...mite be good to ask random ppl in fleet if they getting bonuses as if it can effect a orca and the mining bonues, i'm dare saying it would effect armour/sheild/etc bonuses in these ships too.

EDIT...well thats lovely, just found out the second client on each TM PC will reset there bonuses...so the first run will be fine but once you dock the bonuses will reset, so in my case first run will be 255sec but once i dock it will go back to 341sec..yet this only happen with the second client..so no idea wtf is going on...yet another ccp fail. Might have to petition this one sooner rather then later....

I'm sure that somebody else has already petitioned this by now. This is normal with big expansions, new bugs are introduced and old bugs resurface. They will just have to be fixed again so bear with CCP while they do it.

Problems with orca boost

Post by lazyghost »

Hi guys i jsut set my orca up to boost my other pc with the bots on. what iam noticeing is that for the fisrt run the mac gets the boost fine but as soon as it docks to drop off the ore and comes bakc out no boost is aplyed anyone else geting this same problem ? cos its fucking anoying to jsut have spent 500m or there about setting up a Orca for it to not fucking work the way it sould. IE as soon as ship gets into space it sould geting reciving boost from the Orca. Orca is in a savespot in the system is in squad leader position has all the nesersery skills maxed out. no reason why it sould not keep working but its jsut not realy fecking anoying

I've petitioned it as has alot of other ppl. Its on their forums so i presume CCP know about it and a fix is coming. 1.1.2 Patch coming out 2moro, so hopefully it will fix it then.

Yer..thought so, there was nothing in the patch notes. In many eyes this is an important feature in the game as some fleets are useless without comms ship bonuses...i'm guessing CCP will put this one on the backburner for a while :roll:

I did send a bug report in..and they did confirm they knew about it as they said..."This is a known issue and will be fixed in an upcoming patch"

Orca/Rorq Mining BOOST Issue

Post by RoidFarmer »

I am curious if anyone else has noticed the recent issue with Orca/Rorq Mining BOOST in the recent INCURSION patches...?

If I start out my miners (Hulks) with everyone in fleet receiving the Max Mining BOOST from an Orca or a Rorq everything is fine and then after a few cycles for some reason the miners are no longer receiving any Mining BOOST. I can drop them from Fleet and re-add them and they get BOOST again, but eventually and apperently randomly they seem to loose the BOOST. I am not sure but it might be during Docking and Undocking...

Has anyone else noticed this issue..?

I noticed that my hulks do not receive the bonus for distance on mining lasers. I was not able to mine from more than 15km. I've confirmed that the Orca was not docked and I shuold have been able to lock lasers from a greater distance.

lol...dude this thread wouldnt be here if noone else was noticing. Fleet bonuses are broken and its random. Docking and undocking doesnt help but it isnt the only reason. My macks have cycle times of over 10minutes (for 3 cycles to get 12 blocks). They recieve bonuses for half that 10minutes, then they will drop out...or once they undock they get no bonuses at all. They only time my fleet bonuses work on my toons is when a certian corpmate joins my fleet...its weird but true.

All you need to know is...its random and yet another CCP fail, dont bother trying to work out why it broken cause you never will, bugs reports and petitions have been sent, CCP does know about the problem, just relax and hope they fix it soon as you not the only one waiting for the fix.
