!!! EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT !!!
As of this second we've been made aware of a serious issue pertaining the ICC Assault Dreadnought. Anyone found using this ship in-game until we patch it will have their ship removed from play. We apologise for the inconvenience caused, and are working to fix it immediately.
----
now I'm confused, I thought this was only in beta?

It appears due to some changes made to the resourcer that a broken gadget on the AD (wasn't affecting anything before) re-appeared when updating the ships.
Unfortunately, reverting the changes on our source control software didn't remove the gadget properly, and as a result it creeped into release.
Flying these ships will result in the ship being removed from play. Continued usage will result in a temporary ban.
The audit code isn't designed to deal with auras, and as such if we do have to emergency hotfix this, those using them will be expected to delete them immedlately. Those who do not risk losing their entire garage, although we hope to change the audit code so this isn't neccesairy.
We're obviously working to remedy this ASAP. Users who see other players in an Assault Dreadnought please inform them to remove it from play immediately for the time being. If they refuse to do so, please use the /report function to report the player so that we may deal with it swiftly.
Sorry for the huge inconvenience caused.

So we did somehow have a 25% damage bonus or is that a whole other issue? Also when was this bug introduced? When the shield changes and such were made? Sorry for all the questions. Just wondering how long the AD has been "broke", [ This Message was edited by: Fatal Brutality *COM* on 2012-09-26 09:55 ]

Anyone with an Assault Dreadnought with 25% damage boost will be given ample compensation to destroy it. As of writing, I believe there's only a single one, but we will be checking, and those who don't destroy it will be spoken to.
If you do have one and want the compensation, please submit a ticket. Your ship will only be affected if it was brand new as of a few patches ago, and does not effect existing ships. This does not affect all Assault Dreadnoughts - only new one's as of a few patches ago.
Those using them will have their entire garage wiped if they refuse to remove the ship from the garage. [ This Message was edited by: Pantheon on 2012-09-26 10:32 ]

I found out earlier after ranking that new ADs are getting the 25% bonus. No, it wasn't only visual. We ran several tests and found it was indeed enhanced damage. They fixed it though, so all good now. I am guessing I am the only one that had the glitch, since I am pretty much the only person that has spawned an AD recently.

Glad we found the issue. I'll check my garrage later and make sure I don't have the same bug.
