[4.0 HF3 + SV] Muon Charger mk 1 shots stick, ricochet and do no damage with sustained fire.

Using Accomlished Scientist start

When using the Starter Nodon with it's Muon Chargers Mk1 to capture the Minotaur Raider

shots would stick to the target or ricochet off.
Doing a charged volley would appear to do damage only.
I saw the shield recharging under shorter sustatined fire
Sustained fire does respond with usual threats as though damage is inflicted

First time using this weapon so not sure if the sticking and ricocheting is intentional.

The shot behaviour is intended. The shots that stick should do further damage over time, while the ones that bounce off can potentially hit somewhere or something else. Whether these aspects actually work as well as the devs intended is a slightly different question.

Remember that S size Mk1 weapons are very much starter weapons and do not perform that well against more difficult targets such as M combat ships with reasonable shield recharge rates.

I can get accustomed to the ricocheting.

I was really wondering if this was a graphical bug with the stuck bullets not making contact because of the shield.

or a bug because of the bullet shield bubble interaction at the end of the bullets life then did not apply damage.
