Flak Burst Friendly Fire?

[Lucius Confucius]

The tooltip says ALL strike craft and missiles. Does that mean that the flak burst ship item deals friendly fire damage?

If it does, I didn't notice that. And I'm installing that on every CP. However, it's been a while since I played TEC last time. Maybe, they've changed that with the PD patch.

I guess it would make sense for plausible reasons. The animation for the ability itself boggles me. I had imagined Flak Bursts in space to be something like fireworks, sorta like the Antimatter Spread used by the U.S.S. Enterprise against the Borg in Star Trek TNG's "The Best of Both Worlds, Part 2"

If Flack burst damaged friendly missiles, it would be an interesting choice: either to mass use it with no missile ships in your fleet, or to not to use it to be able to shoot missiles.

One more discussion about comparing Sova to Dunov and Kol to Marza? =)

What about Argonev's explosion ability?

I was under the impression it only hurt enemy targets, but I have never used it (in either sins 1 or 2). I could test it out tonight and report back.

In sins1 it damaged both. Here I'm pretty sure it does the same, however some claimed about the damage dealt.

But to come back to topic, friendly fire is limited to few abilities, such as Argonev Starbase explosion.

Flak burst does NOT damage own missiles

Great, thanks for letting us know.

I suppose I was lazy and did not test it. Could have been simple to test it out, just equip a flak on one of my capital ships, have fighters/bombers nearby and activate it and see if the flak damaged them.

But now we know.

I did test the Argonev explosion and it did, in fact, damage everything within range as many people including a developer mentioned. I stand corrected.
