[#2496][Timelines] Battle of Omicron Lyrae - Ramming Speed points not calcuated correctly - (Spoilers) (2024)

I finally got 5 stars on the "Battle of Omicron Lyrae" mission. It is quite the challenge.

However, what made it much more of a significant challenge is that one of the determinators for points is "Ramming Speed" upon where it calculates the speed of which the player is going before ramming into the Obliterator, does not work as intended.

The Travel drive maxed out goes ~3.5km/s. If the player manages to get to that speed before colliding, then that should be reflected in the results. In my 8 completions, it claimed I was doing 400 m/s to ~1.1km/s, with most of them going out at a far distance and then maxing out the travel drive before colliding. I also did one with only boost instead and there was no significant difference.

Scoreboard claims I only went 418 m/s?:

starting to become disheartening... hit the damn thing at full burner because I thought the problem may be the travel drive... (so it was at 2500 or so), and yet it clocked 245... completely torpedoed my score, 4* AGAIN

Edit: aforementioned bug that catapulted me into an uncontrollable spin across the sector (twice now) appears to happen when you disengage the travel drive rather than pump the breaks. Having avoided this did raise my score for ramming speed somewhat, but nowhere near what it should be...

The highest ramming speed score I got was 1,111 m/s. That was at max travel drive speed. So was the one in the scoreboard image I linked, which said I was doing 400 m/s. It's not consistent.

To get 5*, I decided try and get enough points in other areas, bypassing the bug. The biggest ones to swing is the "Fighter hull damage inflicted" and the time. I targeted almost exclusively Queen's Guards and tried to complete all objectives as fast as possible. I got fortunate that the repulsor field didn't cost me an extra minute whilst trying to negotiate with it. If I received any hull damage, that's an instant restart.

It took me ages to do, but it is possible.

The hightest speed I got is 2700 and that, obviously, instantly yielded me 5*. Final put on speed score may be depend on the part of Obliterator you ram in. Its still the bug, but if anyone yet struggle with 5* score try to ram different parts of Obliterator. Not only that nimble connector mission points at which earned least score among the attempts.
Also ramming hitbox seems to not cover whole Obliterator, so avoid the end of frontal spikes.

Can't seem to finish this 3 times I got thrown away around that moment with a speed of like 65 km/s being like 3000 km away from it before stopping first time I was even 15k km away from it.
Currently flying back from the 3000 km at least I will be at max speed.

Edit can attest ramming speed is not calculated correctly after 15 mins max speed it says I only went 2393 m/s when I hit it.
