Unless something crazy has changed, beams just degrade (substantially) less with distance than cannons and turrets.

Oh right, I'd only ever seen it mentioned for cannons. Guess you really do learn something new every day. Thanks for the correction

Using Photonic Officer after an ability will reduce the ability's CD, but it won't be the full reduction, more like a reduction on the current remaining CD. This does make Photonic more useful as it can then be used as a reactive ability when everything goes to heck


On the other note, generic Kinetic tactical consoles buffs Grav Well and Photonic Shockwave? Now that's an interesting tibbit which I need to follow up on my LRSV-R to see if it is feasible to have an effective sci-based ship rather than a 'Sci-scort' like my RSV.
