Boarding Party functionality change: Intentional?

stirling191

So as some folks may have noticed, the way Boarding Party works has changed with the LoR update. Instead of the previous delay before the BP does it's damage (subsystems down, CDs applied, etc.) the effect is being applied immediately.

I noticed this after dealing with Elachi boarding parties which function similarly (up front application of effects), and subsequently realized that other boarding parties were doing the same thing.

So the question is, intentional change, or unintentional bleedover from the new Elachi version of BP?

Note: I am not making any judgements on this, just trying to ascertain if this is in fact a correctly functioning, but undocumented, functionality alteration.

Just a balance change to keep Tactical Team spam from totally invalidating the ability.
