Oil Slick

Was in AE last night running a story arc and noticed on my TA/Archery defender that Oil slick can no longer be targeted as an enemy, only as an ally, which means you cannot hit it with a fire based attacked in order to give it a chance to ignite. I sent a bug report, but has anyone else noticed this as well?

Although I just tried, and outside of AE, the oil slick is working as intended. Does not function as intended while in AE missions.

(EDIT It's funny too, while IN the AE building itself just standing around, it auto lights without attacking it with fire. LOL

It's known about and is fixed in i16 apparently, it's mentioned in the open beta patch notes.

ahh, great!

I don't go on the test server or read test server patch notes, so thanks for the heads up.

Also, the autolighting in AE is because there's a kill volume that kills any enemy entity in there. The auction house and Black Market have these too. Since the Oil Slick Target is an enemy, it's instantly killed.

Another way to light it automatically is to place it near a Police Drone. They'll shoot it and light it, too.
