I saw this happen and you didn't have full armor and shields. Your shields were down and your armor almost gone, but the flux still shouldn't have killed you. Me and my buddy were sniping you when some blue dot finished you off with a flux.

You're also missing the point, a flux grenade should be doing 0 damage to armour, not even 1 hit point of damage.

And I assure you, you are mistaken, I changed my fitting and died at the same time as the flux hit me, from swarms to an AR fit to deal with the opponent coming onto the bridge who subsequently killed me with a flux through a wall.

A couple of problems with your assumptions, RINON114.

First a Flux Grenade has an undocumented explosive damage amount. If a Merc is Standing On a flux grenade it will most likely kill that merc, even with full armor. Being close to the explosive nexus will still count towards your clone reduction. This been true since the closed Beta. A squad mate that used to run Heavies used Flux grenades heavily. And he got at least a kill every match. Even on Proto gear that looked healthy, right up until that sucker died.

You changed from Assault to AV which will not change either shield or armor values. They are normally the same suit and the eHP is only reset when a Completely Different Suit is selected.

One last item is you have at least three computers involved in this effort. Your PS3, CCP server (somewhere) and your enemy's PS3. The server is responsible for resolving hit detection and while sometimes it will appear that you are safe the server believes you died. When the typical slow CCP server connection gets around to resolving the problems you will suddenly die. Welcome to the net.

All this means is you accessing the Supply Depot may or may not be captured by the server such that you are safe for even a moment while a grenade strips your life from you.
