Iron Asp?

Post by FlyingBlind »

On the way in to one of my favorite little anarchies, I was jumped by 3 pirates. I dispatched the first two pretty quickly. The third, an Asp MkII, was un-killable. I poured concentrated fire into him, and 3 out of my 4 ECM hardened missles were direct hits. Didn't faze him.

After 30 minutes of overheated lasers and no discernable damage to him, I decided to nuke him with my energy bomb. No effect.

Is this an error, or are there some serious shielding technologies out there?

And by the way, Happy Christmas to all the Oolite team!

it's a bug.

Fairly rare in 1.65, used to be more common

Thanks for the word on that. I do have to admit that I'm relieved he didn't seem to hold a grudge for my determined pursuit...

I don't think it is mandatory to fix. Just adds variety to the game ;-)

I agree; it's just one more anomaly one might run into when working your way around the galaxy. Considering that after his initial attack pass he sent the rest of the time running, the Invincible Asp is a bug that I can live with.
