Thank you sir, for completely missing the point of this thread. You are inaccurate in your assertions.

TAKE COVER is not intended to provide 100% invulnerability, as it currently does in SvS. It says plain as day "75%" under the circle that pops up on the right side of the screen when I do it. The point you make about it being completely broken for fire-based follow-on damage is completely beside the point. If you read this thread more attentively before blurting out irrelevant details, you'd be less embarrassed.

It is a glitch. It is compounded by other glitches, resulting in total ship invulnerability (even with OPEN FIRE simultaneously) routinely. Your irrelevant observations about outer-vs.-inner remain beside the point of this thread. At the same time, your observations about outer-hull damage are also incorrect. During TAKE COVER, neither outer nor inner hull points are damaged by anything other than fire (firebrand or explosive follow-on damage.)

While I don't compound the glitch as others do, I have no compunction about using the broken TAKE COVER; however, I recognize that many people (as stated in the original post) call "foul" because Disney refuses to correct the problem. When others compound the problem by using additional exploits, the problem becomes quite extreme.

------------------

I've received several insulting comments on this matter. I won the privateering contest; I assure you that winning when back as BASIC is monstrously more difficult than winning as UNLIMITED. I've played a great deal as both BASIC and UNLIMITED. It isn't that I don't understand the effects clearly. The problem remains that TAKE COVER does not function as intended, nor as it says it is intended. As with any other glitch in the game, there are always people who exploit them unfairly, particularly against other players, where such cheating is clearly inappropriate.

I don't think Disney recognizes how severely this hurts their game revenue. It is especially exaggerated in any player vs. player setting. PvP and SvS glitches leave new players pointedly disgusted with the game; most leave, never to return. Try building a pirate up to level 10, then go into SvS on Abassa and compare; you'll be astonished at the statement Disney is implicitly making to new players.
