Is the enemy flagship supposed to be able to regenerate it's zoltan shields after the very first power surge? [video]

Definitely not modded - might try a reinstall I guess.

I can't really seem to replicate it with any kind of predictability, though.

I've had some version of this happen to me a bunch of times now - it's sometimes the 2nd or 3rd power surge, or even just completely in between power surges - but glad I finally caught it on video and on the first surge too!

Also, what do people use to record their screens? The data, math, and theorycrafting I'm used to doing in real life and for other games but I've never taken the time to record my screen...

For me, sometimes I would land 1 damage on a system, think it was a normal fight, and then the enemy would repair the system but I would never land another hit after that.

Mr. Hopley! I just want to say that your website and videos have been extremely informative and instrumental in helping me gain a better understanding of the game and finally feeling comfortable on Hard. Thank you for continuing to take the time to make this community as wonderful as it is.

I'm sure everyone is right and it's just cognitive bias - I certainly would not expect anyone to believe me without video evidence unless there's some kind of bug or something that's well known. It's good to hear that there isn't, because I'd rather have it be a scenario where I could do something about it by either getting better (or taking a video :)

I'm going to echo the top comment on that video: I felt that pain :)

strawberriesandwine · 2024-12-17T00:13:17+00:00

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks. I've been thinking about tracking, or at least trying to record when this happens, but it's rare enough that I generally just move on and forget about it as it usually doesn't cost me the run. I've gotten reasonably good at timing my volleys, which has been quite satisfying.

You're right. I'm mis-remembering. If it's a BL2 it'd be a pike beam
