Titan keeps on shooting a target that's already dead?

I'm not a beta tester of the game, but I watch the YouTube videos of the beta. In this video, observe carefully the Titan around 0:16 to 0:28. It still keeps on shooting a pirate something that already died. Is this a bug or something?

I've had the same problem, though no visuals. Just the sound of the laser going on and on.

Yeah the Ragnarov's gauss guns seem to do this a lot, maybe the repeated firing is just one attack cycle?

Mr. Haze is right. It is just firing all it's set bank weapons even when the targeted ship is already destroyed.

It's all down to the fire delay between weapons. There's some 16 ralguns pointing forward, 12 to each side, and 8 aft. But the delay is somthing like 1 second between guns. Which means your looking at over a quater minute per cycle. Really all thats needed is to reduce tha delay to somthing more resonable. Most ships that have a really large number of guns of one type pointing in one direction have a fairly small delay of the order of a couple of tenths of a second. The result is that every round goes overboard in a 3 to 4 second time period. Thus even if a target is killed, it won't explode before the last round reaches it.

 

Also am i the only one concered by the fact that the Rebel TEC, Rebel Advent, and possibbly the Loyalist Vassari titan all have a good chunk of their DPS locked up in weapons that recive no benefit from any weapon upgrade? It wasn't so bad when it was just a couple of starbase upgrades, starbases as a rule don't shoot it out with each other much so the imbalance wasn't really too relevant. But now. Not so much.

I think the only Ragnarov weapon that can't be upgraded is the railgun, the Gauss receives bonuses from the upgrades that increase firing rate and range of the Gauss Turrets.

 

No idea about the Eradica and the whatever the Vasari Loyalist one was called.

I'd forgoten about Guass being a turret damage type actually. That said that big railgun is still a lot of DPS and one of the advent ones has psionic surges as a weapon. The vassarui loyalist is incomplete so there's no wa to know what it will have. But if they put somthing unique on that as well it could get to be an issue as the other titans will all see their weapons get full upgrades on everything whilst those with these damage types won't.
