eye bots moving slow as snails
« on: December 31, 2014, 08:20:32 pm »
their speed says 68 but they move slower than my missile frigs... a lot slower. Almost like shard recovery slow. Somehow they seem to be faster when the AI uses them though. Not entirely sure yet.

If I remember correctly, EyeBots are immune to speed boosts.  So in your own systems, they still move at speed 68, while the missile frigates (base speed 44) are getting (at least) a +100% bonus, so they're actually moving at speed 88.
The AI ones shouldn't be moving any faster, though...

hmm didn't see the speed boost immunity. I use logistics in most of my systems so that would explain why they move so much slower than the rest. Don't know for sure if the AI versions really move faster, I guess it just seemed that way. They got to my command station awfully quick. Forcefields are absolutely useless against Vorpal and I keep forgetting that.
