Thread: Battlestation virus scanners doing nothing?

    Battlestation virus scanners doing nothing?

    They worked fine when I bought them, but I've been trying to clear UBT & drains with battlestation virus scanners today, and they've been doing nothing at all, just the "poof" animation & the action bar. Same thing happening for anyone else?

    maybe you tried to remove proc drains/init debuffs? Those are still not removed along with crat init debuffs/RI and some other crap debuffs.

    No, I'm aware of that... I spent 10 mins fighting various people with a doc around last round, so the fact the scanners weren't removing UBT was pretty obvious ( and it was UBT, got my ncu in list mode ). The first time I noticed was trying to remove a trader drain which I got rid of with traditional scanners eventually, so there really does seem to be a problem with 'em.

    Based on QL they can do very little - tried to use ql50s to remove UBT, I think I had to use in the neighborhood of 15 or 20 to remove it completely, it seemed knocked out some, but only a couple seconds, whereas the ql225s only took a few. And they don't touch nanite enhanced drains AT ALL. Neither do the IS/ToTW rids actually (I could swear they used too...). I found you have to use the old-school non-combat virus scanners to remove those.

    The in battle virus scanners only knock a few seconds off at best. 12s or something off UBT I believe for the ql300?

    Reductions

    All the trader drains do appear to be covered by the item...12 seconds isn't a lot and not many can use the ql300s.

    Having said that, ql200s are 10s off so..

    Mmmyeah, ok. Could have sworn they worked a little better than that once, but I guess I may have sneaked in a hit on a normal one at some point & not noticed.

    Not really too useful, are they.

    yeah its very possible either I bugged or duration wasn't refreshing when I said that they didn't effect NE drains, they do, just verified. still...12 secs on ql300...augh.
