Is there any delay when using the auto supply system?

[Alklines 1,751]

For example, if I'm using Hyperion drone, and my Boosted Armor supply's duration is about to end, and I select another BA for the next auto supply, is there any delay when my BA ends, and a new one is about to be reactivated? Even if it's a micro-second? I'm assuming there shouldn't be, but who knows.

As far as I know, there shouldn't be any delay unless its the supply cooldown timer if that's what you are assuming!

There may or may not be a hidden paramater doing this or it may all just be reliant on Ping in the end. Everyone has this and can exploit its potential. Useful against Defenders, Hyperions and Crisis to deal damage to them in the very brief period they don't have protection. 

 

Some great Crisis users switch relatively slowly between Boosted Armour and Damage. Some others switch very fast where it's near impossible to exploit the period of vulnerability. Likely down to ping.

I used the Hyperion drone as an example because it doesn't have a cooldown timer for boosted supplies, to make my question sound simpler.

Now that I think about it, when I have an active Speed Boost supply that's about to end, and I select another SB for the next auto supply, there is a noticeable slow down of my hull for about a quarter of a second until the next SB is activated.

it could be internet ping that's causing the delay

Your answer is good enough for me. Appreciate it!
