You also mentioned repel...what repel is it not providing immunity to?
its like -by gfx- ionic storm except i dont get that gibberish stock in the cloud but drawing blue lines as i fly with 0 control, locked out from bridge officer skills too
like a mixture of ionic/viraltorp that is constatly on and available to use.
the other things that got my attention that viral matrix insta disabled (locking out of control, etc as above just no glue line gfx on my engines) me while i was runnning aux2damp (which is all time up&running)
whatever it is.. why aux2damp does not grant what it grants ? ? ?
We've got Subsystem Disables.
We've got Stun/Shock/Hold Disables.
Gets into the two skills Starship Subsystem Repair and Starship Inertial Dampers.
VM's a Subsystem Disable, so it's not going to be affected by ID and thus won't be affected by AtD. Subsystem Targeting and Phaser Procs...yadda, yadda, yadda.
Then there are things like Photonic Shockwave, Nadeon boosted Torps, Trics, Web Mines.
Ionic would fall into the latter. Load Viral Torp oddly enough falls into the latter (something else I'm not a fan of...since it just adds to the confusion; Viral Matrix and Load Viral Torp being two different types of disables).
There is also that new disable from Gather Intel, something that can be dropped out instantly if somebody lands a hit with either the Phaser or Plasma Lance consoles (meh, there's no Disruptor variant to do that - KDF went from the ignored younger child to the ignored middle child, which imho just made being ignored as the younger child that much worse upon reflection).
It's hard to tell at times what's broken, not working as intended, better than, worse than, etc, etc, etc...and imho, the whole CC thing needs a bit of a balance pass/revamp.
(odly enough only this BO skill stays available to use during these "exploits")
ET's another one of those trippy things...in that it should clear VM, and sometimes does - but has a Hell of a time with DOFF'd VM. But it's an ability that can be used to clear things like the disable from Web Mines.
It's one of the things depending on what disables were lumped at somebody, they could ET->HE and be good for a few seconds until the next batch came in.
And to explain things in more meta terms, there are two classes of "disables" in he game. There are debuff effects, such as subsystem disables or Jam Sesors, which are the result are specific abilities. These debuffs are cleared by clear by certain other abilities. Ad one doesn't get immunities to the debuffs unless you are affected by them. The devs generally give you are period of immunity so you are chained debuffed.
So powers like Haazard Emitters and the Team abilities will clear various types of debuffs.
And the other class of disables are called Crowd Control abilities. In MMORPGS these are effecs which will snares (Pin you in place but able to act), slows (which slow you movement), repel/attract (pull or push you from a given point), stun (can't act but can move), holds (can't act and can't move), and fragile holds (can't act/move but taking damage will reduce the duration). Crowd Control abiities can be quite powerful and developers (all) tend to give ways to break the CC power or give immunities to them.
Aux to Dampeners is one of the powers which gives immunities or resistance (reduces magnitude) to various Crowd Control abilities.
The Cryptic designers use the various effects to create the various game powers. The bad things is that some effects can seems to be the same effect. But under the cover they are built differently. And it takes a bit of learning are to chat game abilities/powers will give relief from the effects of debuffs and Crowd Control.
lolz but ET says repairs disabled thus offline sub-systems for 5 seconds
True ET will repair a single subsystem of the 3 that VM will take down. But I wasn't talking about that.
ET can cleanse the entire VM debuff. But not if you fire off ET before VM beam ends. Otherwise you get the initial subsystem back online and you are face two more subsystem disables and you ETs are on cooldown.
