    • Resolved an issue that was preventing the extra Kinetic Damage from reliably being added to Torpedo hits.
• Command Bridge Officer Abilities and Kit Modules:
  • Many Command Abilities did not previously have correct Shared Category Cooldowns in place, allowing for unintended stacking capabilities when using more than one copy of the ability at different ranks.

  • These now have two mods: [Chance] and [Dmg].
    • This means that their damage output should be comparable to other blue Tetryon weapons of the same type.
    • Their [Chance] mod means that they have a 5% chance to cause extra shield drain which is down from the previous 10%, because they now inflict more base damage.
  • These weapons are now fully supported by the Upgrade system.
• Embassy Console Plasma Procs:
  • Resolved an issue that was allowing the damage of these procs to scale with consoles that improved Plasma and/or Energy Damage, including themselves.
  • Resolved an issue with their damage scaling potential that was causing them to benefit disproportionately from Mk XIII, Mk XIV and Gold-quality upgrades.
• Aceton Assimilator: Now drains the amount shown in the Tooltip, minus any resistances the target may have.
• Load Viral Torpedo: Resolved an issue where multiple Viral Torpedoes could get loaded within a single reload period when triggered by Tactical Team.
• The “Chroniton Flux Torpedo” reward from “The New Link” was just a Chroniton torpedo with [Dmg]x2, and it now displays as such.
  • It can be upgraded like a normal Chroniton torpedo.
