I have a problem with my long range frigates..They keep firing at the target for about 10 - 20 seconds, AFTER the target is destroyed..Did I do something wrong with the weapon settings ?
Its the way the weapons are set up. The damage is immediately registered but the weapon effect can (like with missiles) keep going long after the damage is done.
and it's the same with a frigate that I just destroyed..it keeps firing at mai ship, and it does damage too .(even though I destroyed it 10 seconds ago)
Damage is applied immediately once the weapon is fired (all buffs/debuffs taken into account as well). Doesn't matter the weapon type Missile, Projectile, Beam. It is the weapon effect that is still going long after the damage has already been applied. That is why it is not good to have a very long weapon effect. Try increasing the speeds of your missiles, or shortening the time of your effect.
Actually, there's a DamageOverTime setting that can be applied to all weapons. Shortening the weapon duration or the number of shots would solve the problem, but you might try adjusting the weapon to DamageOverTime. That should delay the ships' destruction, but it won't necessarily stop the weapon when that happens.
