List of sci boff abilities and how they fail:
Edited in yellow
Sci Team
- needs to cleard debuffs for 10 seconds like TT. Seems to be disputed.
Transfer Shield Strength
- Is OK
Hazard Emitters
- Clears too many debuffs. Including E-siphon, tykens... should only clear applied debuffs (plasma fire, acetone etc), not location debuffs (like siphon, tykens)
Tractor Beam
- Ok as ship ability Higher levels should hold better. )"as ship ability" means not ok as pet/mine ability)
Tractor Beam Repulsors
- Is OK
Polarize Hull
- A bit weak, slight movement resistance increase needed
Tachyon Beam
- Useless due to resists in PvP, and insane shield cap in PvE. Needs to be buffed 400%. To clarify: against a NPC or a player with resists, this 10 sec ability will drain 10% of their shields. fixing resists would help in pvp, but raising efficiency would help both PvE and PvP
Charged Particle Burst
- Same as Tachyon beam
Photonic Shockwave
- Needs to get range and damage slightly increased. And stun properly! Damage should be tied to aux power (?)
Photonic Officer
- Needs to be made a lot more effective.
Gravety Well
- Pulls too weak, damages too little
Tykens Rift
- Too weak as normal, too strong when the doff proc gives 2 or 3 stacking rifts
Jam Sensors
- Basically useless. Needs remake.
Scramble Sensors
- Too expensive to make it work well. Needs a little buff.
- Crap in PvE, as all the good NPCs are immune
Energy Siphon
- Needs a little buff
FBP
- Too weak without tac captain buffs, too strong with them.
Mask Energy Signature
- Works ok?
Viral Matrix
- Ok for pvp at the moment for three reasons:
1. Doffs make it a lot more potent
2. Is not aux dependant
3. Everything else is worse.
- useless for PvE
Shared cooldowns that make it a lot worse:
- GW and Tykens
- Tykens and ES, You need the combined drain to acomplish anything.
- TSS and FBP, when FBP can be used to your advantage, that's when you really need TSS.
- HE and PH
Feel free to disagree or add comments or suggest changes.
