i noticed that when your guarding a planet and hit an npc with a % boost to attack vs npcs (surge plexus shockpulse charge) your attack on the planet rises to what you hit the npc at and stays that way

Note: i had this happen when i was fully buffed with both surge plexus and a shock pulse charge on
a legion mate only had surge plexus on and had it happen

p.s if this is the wrong place to report bugs please let me know

I have also noticed that NPC attack counts when guarding a planet.

I'm also having a related issue now. I guarded a planet when I had the -50% defence debuff from the xrp warp station, I then used a containment cage to remove the debuff and guarded another planet then went back to guarding the 1 i wanted to, but my defence was still half eve though it showed as normal on my ship tab.

My defence:


My Defence when guarding a planet:

Definely a bug in my opinion... The attack amount being applied to a guarded planet (at least the amount being shown) is a cached value from the last time you attacked something (anything)....
if it was an npc, npc-only buffs are also saved in that cached value... if you had debuffs on at the time, it's a debuffed value, even if you have already caged the debuff off of you... attacking something once more after the cage brings the debuffed value shown on the planet back up to normal

Dan... please tell me this isn't intentional... it could clearly be exploited... (npc buffs shouldn't be a part of the planet defense when a player is attacking a planet guard.... and any debuffs or buffs that have been removed since the last time you attacked something also shouldn't be applied since those buffs are no longer on you)

How long did that last? I know Dan's mentioned something about the stat not changing immediately with the ship always.
