If some people don't know, it's the Tier V Nukara Strikeforce ability.
The ability works fine. The problem is with the icon on the HUD. It stays lit up all the time and so you can use it anytime and waste it and it won't work unless there are enemies within range, then you have to wait for the cooldown. It should only light up when enemies are within it's range.
I do not know if this function was intended to be like this but it doesn't make sense. A ship's sensors would know when a enemy ship is in range or not.
Peculiarly, I am having the opposite experience - the icon is only available when there's an enemy in range, but when I click on it, it does nothing. There's no visual effect, and no damage done to the target.
I think this ability needs looking at. There is definitely some problem with it, but what problem, I can't say!
What I do to work around my own problem is to get really close within 2KM and then activate it. It's really awesome when it actually works. A blue Tetryon beam hits the target and then hits another within range. I hit Beam Fire At Will and multiple Tetryon beams came out and massively devestated the group of Tholians.
But yeah, this icon and target detection is a big problem or lack of it is a big problem.
