Crew losses without damage?

[Norbert Sattler]

I just had one of my pre-dreadnoughts in the campaign hit by an enemy pre-dread. The shot was blocked and caused no damage, but somehow still killed 185 of my crew - more than 20%.

How?!?

This was a bug that was fixed in one of the hotfixes. Which version you are playing?

[Norbert Sattler]

The latest. I updated about half an hour before the screenshot was taken.

That is, the launcher has 2.4.4 in the bottom left and ingame it's 1.0 v98.

If it wasn't stated to be a bug, I would have said spalling. A shell might not penetrate but the impact could create flying shards of metal and/or rivets and bolts flying around.

And that would kill more than 150 people, or put otherwise more than 20% of the entire ship's crew?

Probably not...I have seen like 1-5 crew randomly die in missions though each time, where I never even saw an enemy. This might be like that but scaled up as far a bugs go
