    So, since Titans has been released, I've noticed that the targeting is off on some things. Either that, or it's a hitbox issue of some sort. I've noticed that bombers drop bombs on ships, but the ships are only damaged a portion of the time. Also, the screen shots below clearly illustrate that fire from both Dox and Tanks are going right through enemy Dox, with no damage. This has happened many times, and can really make the difference between winning and losing a close game (the screen shots happen to be from the Mystery Mayhem tournament, and I lost this particular game in part because of this bug). Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

    Are you sure it's not going over the bot? It's possible with the varying height terrain that situations arise when a tank or bot or whatever will fire but miss because it goes over it's target.. like for example the fact that all planets are a round ball and not a flat surface.. then add in multilevel terrains.. I'm not saying you have not found a bug, just wondering if it is possible.

    I thought of that, but these screenshots were taken on Forge, and that planet is not a tiny moon, where you would expect that kind of thing to happen. Also, I was careful to inspect each instance of my screenshots for depressions in the planets surface, to not introduce that possibility. Lastly, the units were pretty close together in many of these instances, so the curvature of the spherical planet could not have come into play.
