    Was testing it for about 30 minutes with Delta Flyers and TachBeam1 (Armitage) and I'm unable to reproduce. I could test TachBeam3, but neither Advanced Delta Flyer nor a Vesta in case it is ship specific.

    i have another theory, the only other connection is the deflector doff. something may be triggering it which then causes the tachyon beam to global cooldown.

    thanks for checking into it.

    Does that mean the movement debuff doff also works through the Deltas? Diabolical!

    i think delta flyers cause your own tachyon beam to go onto a global cooldown if their tachyon beam does its full duration.

    i am having trouble replicating this but it happens constantly in combat. for no reason my tachyon beam 3 will go onto a 20 second global cooldown.

    i have no other BO deflector powers that would share a cooldown with this so it should be happenining.

    if anyone else can test it to help me verify this i'd be much happy.


    it also have a releation to the deflector duty officer.

    I haven't seen this yet when using Tachyon Beam 3 and Delta Flyers on my Vesta. It's unrelated but I do often see random glitches with cooldowns ever since DOffs were added. For instance, on my Tac who uses 3 VR Attack Pattern DOffs, sometimes the DOffs misfire and I don't get any CD reduction at all with them. It's totally random, however, and to be expected in this buggy game. I could see your issue being DOff related somehow.

    I will try using a Deflector Officer DOff tonight and see if I can reproduce it.

    ok, i think ihave it nailed down, the freaking tachyon mines cause the global cooldown on the tachyon beam....

    is this intentional?

    I haven't heard anything official but I could imagine so seeing as how nasty those mines are when used with a Dispersal Pattern.

    Good thing I read this thread. I was going to try that shield stripping build of Mai's. Would suck to lose all of that dilithium on a broken pet.

    FYI the pets are fine, the issue was the tachyon mines would trigger the tachyon beams global cooldown and vice versa.

    the shuttles are A OK! :P
