Me and Ookami, we were driving around in Spire, complete shutout, so we decided to go to the MCC dropzone to get the snipers. Afterward, we hung around abit, were about to drive off, and the strangest thing happened. Ookami was firing at a fellow in the MCC, just staring at us, sounded like he was attempting a snipe, and the missile hit the shield. And the sniper took damage. We stayed there the rest of the round laughing our heads off. Don't think badly of us, as we are reporting this now, but it appears the splash damage of missile goes through the MCC passenger bay shielding. If you were to use one of the large radius splash ones, or a kitten tank, people would die as they spawned. I think this isn't working as planned. That said, it was hilarious, like skeet shooting with people :D Buzzwords was in the game to, so he may be able to corroborate my story.

Yes. As for the splash, it does seem to only be that, so they could just raise the position of the bay in relation to the shield and that would be a good light fix.

We were, for awhile. It's fun as hell to shoot them as they dive. Then we discovered the splash thing... Still kept shooting them as they jumped, but we had a way to soften them up and/or kill the hesitant ones :P And yea, on a tangent, mountain snipers suck. The scope is way to weak to justify that kind of range.
