Shield drones still don't work - Fix on the way.

[Groundwalker]

New game, version 3.61hf2.
Shield drones still don't work! The Behemoths MK-2 recharge in 45 seconds either with drones (I used two), or without. No difference AT ALL!! This bug is old - will you fix it already? Shield drones keep being useless.

In case it helps, info follows on how they were working in the 3.00 era (last time I'm aware they were changed).

Asked Black Gryphon to check it out and then also checked it myself, shield support drones do replenish shields once, then they get back on board. Lino sais its intended change in 3.0.

Shield drones works for me, 4.00 Beta 3, but only once per game launch. Launch game, load save - shield drones works (more drones - faster recover, and cooldown after that), load save again - they don't.

Thanks for the update, Helian.

Please could you upload a save game somewhere and link it so that the Devs can test this out?

Related question: Does you save game use any mods (AKA "extension") or save file edits?

No mods, only Steam
Easy to check: start game, boost to anywhere to 50% shields, launch drone. Load save again ...

Thanks very much for that

Exactly the same in my 3.61. So, they are not going to fix it, I see...

It took too long, but I've finally found and fixed the bug - the drone should work again in an upcoming patch!

You are magician DocAce
Beta 5?
I wonder is there any other small glitches when reloading saves many times in one game session?
