APA stacking?

Look carefully at this picture... pay special attention to my buffs...

Attack Pattern Alpha stacking 3 times FTW! :D

Just noticed this after activating GDF, beaming down to ESD, and when after a few minutes I came back out, GDF was still running, but the CD was over. Tried replicating it to get ALL my tac abilities to stack, but it seems all but one are timing out. When all was activated, only APA was "paused".

Makes me want to check if this can be done by battle loggers... Imagine if I could get my ship to 20%, hit GDF, log for a minute or two, and come back and get a 2nd GDF up. If I could manage 4-5 GDFs, with the other buffs on top, I should be one helluva PSW! (Ofc, my team would have to keep the fight in the same place, but...)

Not really practical, but the thought of a 1000k psw in a pet-heavy enviroment, makes my undies itch...

    Can't reproduce it when in a pvp match, so it should be fine. The spawn timer and getting across the map is just about 30 seconds.

    Still exploiting imo. The devs should look into resetting all cooldowns and abilities everytime a map is changed.

    yeah.. I can see that happen... somethimes around season 35... :p

    anyway, it's never gonna be effective, as GDF has 3? 4? minutes CD... I would have to be spawncamped an hour to get any really good numbers :(

    I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    this is already in effect in kerrat. sad indeed, gone are the days of full buffing right before reset, and kuilling 10 feds at reset :o

    resetting cooldowns it is not, but wiping buffed powers it is. this doubly pains loggers who will return withotu any power active with long cooldowns
