New Patch Queen/Escort Behaviour
We went queen-hunting in Divinia today after the patch, having learned the glorious art of queen-hunting yesterday. It seems the queens are now just flying back and forth rather than attacking any intruders. Their escort still attacks, but seems slightly more spread out than before (maybe not, subjective). Still, the queens aren't attacking at all even when they're all that's left and you're plinking away at them with whatever. They don't appear to be paying any attention to any players in the sector - just flying about.
Hmm- we did put in a change to make big ships favor other big ships as targets yesterday. It shouldn't have completely put them off you, though. Expect a fix next friday at the latest.
Oops, yeah. I think queens are considered "big" and as such won't attack anything else that's not "big" (it leaves that to its turrets, but of course the queen has none...). So yeah, they will completely ignore you. Doh. So queens just shouldn't be "big", they're just.. medium-sized. Or something. Can't dock, but can aim towards fighter-sized ships. Sorta.
Yeah, I also noticed one trying to fly through a roid in Sedina K-7 yesterday.... Unfortunately, I was in a Wraith, so I couldn't take advantage of it. >.<
