Borg STF Enemies:
-Reduced damage variance on all Plasma Torpedo abilities from 10% to 5%.
-Plasma DOTs applied by Torpedo hits have been reduced to 80% of prior magnitude.

Nice :D
Stinks when the DoT can hit harder than beams, per tick.

Devs,
The crew of the USS Catalina and their families are grateful!

    The DOFF's responsible for repainting the Hull of the MObius Temporal Destroyer "Amelia Pond" are grateful as well.


    Ships been repainted over a hundred times since beginning regular tours of the Tau'Dewa sector block.

    I wouldn't celebrate just yet. It says "reduced to 80%", not "reduced by 80%".

    4/5ths is still a lot of damage when it's high enough. And nothing has been said about the 100% proc rate of the plasmas.

    The proc rate shouldn't change, but for the Borg it would be a good idea to separate the burn rate and the torpedo's basic impact damage. Currently the borg torp is rated for about 50K damage up front, and then about 1.5 for 15 seconds, which is in line with what player plasma torpedoes do except the player's version is generally one tenth as powerful. It's also possible to get hit with two of these back to back, leading to thousands of shield-penetrating damage per second even you survive the two enormous kinetic hits.

    I am just happy, because it's a step in the right direction :P
