| Summary | 0016105: SpeedBooster is apparently immune to insta-kill | ||||
| Description | It looks like SpeedBooster is immune to insta-kill, but: 1) This immunity is not listed in SpeedBooster immunities. 2) Ion Cannons (two Mk II's in my case) still fire upon SpeedBooster (doing a little hp damage and a significant engine damage), even though the description of Ion Cannon specifically says: "cannot fire upon ships immune to insta-kill". | ||||

not sure why Ion Cannons even have engine damage if they "cannot fire upon ships immune to insta-kill", maybe this bit of their description is misleading. |

This is not a bug, though it probably does point to a need for a textual clarification. Speed Boosters are not immune to instakill, but they are counted as Mark V units, which means only a Mark V Ion Cannon can instakill them. Lower mark ion cannons can still fire at them, inflicting engine damage and minor regular damage. Units that are truly immune to instakill cannot be fired upon by any ion cannon, even one of equal or higher mark. |

ok, thanks for clarification |

I also see strange description for AI Warp Gate Guardian Mark V, it has range 30,000 (half of the gravity well), yet description says "High health short-range combatant". |
