In Beta. Sometimes my fighters disappear from my screen and I become unable to give them orders. However, even if I have the maximum number of fighters deployed, the game is still letting me try and launch new ones. This results in wasting my fighters ammunition and rendering fighters less useful because I cannot see where my fighters are or what they are doing. It would appear that other people can still see them, but I cannot order them to do anything. Even ordering them to return does nothing. I chiefly seem to experience this bug after I do a jump away from an enemy ship to get out of their weapon range.

You're desynced.

We've have several cases of desync plaguing the game, mainly with missiles and fighters.

The worst part is that the gadget cooldown lockout seems to be client side, so even if you are able to fire a missile or launch a fighter server-side, the client will not let you because on your client it is still recharging.

Making clients wait to receive a message from the server before starting the gadget cooldown could resolve some issues of desync. Basically, you wouldn't see the blue recharge bar until the server sends back the instruction to start it, and to what capacity, possibly accounting for ping in the process.

Any chance of adding the ability to disable Damage Control?


In a standoff situation where you are the attacker and have external support you might want to save some of it for a more critical time instead of it constantly triggering when you are in no danger of dieing.

Especially since now returning to a planet to refill it in a station is going to be much more of a PITA.

If stations work as envisioned by the devs, then a station should usually only be around a planet. However, I agree that the option would still be nice.
