Well, none of that stuff happened out of order according to the log, and the pirates were shooting me waaaaay more often in tejat posterior than anywhere else.... shooting me relentlessly even while cloaked
Sorry, the "out-of-order" thing is my shortspeak for all kinds of similar problems. I'm not 100% sure, it might be some other bug in play. I'll have to devs double-check this.
The actual technical problem we have is called
race conditions, which I don't fully understand myself. However I've been given the following diagram:
TIME PROCESS1 EVENT1
12:00 NPC picks target
12:10 NPC checks if it is cloaked
12:15 Player cloaks
12:30 NPC does some other checks
12:45 NPC fires
If you can show me a log when things are more spaced-out (i.e. not happening within the same minute), it might help us tremendously.
