[BUG] Embassy Sci console stacking fire dots

So if you use emb sci consoles the fire dot now stacks. In other words using 4 of them means you now have a 10% chance to get a plasma fire dot. Which shouldn't be a problem except it then hits 4 times. As an example during a conduit run plasma fire hit 1,876 times. Looking at the logs shows them all hitting in groups of 4.

Total weapon hits were as follows.

phaser beam array faw2=1,231
Plasma fire hits=1,876
phaser beam array=447
gravity well=119
tractor beam repulser=82
omega graviton amp=46
isometric charge=7

Hm maybe i should start working on my sci toon as the dps from plasma fire is well over 1,500 dps alone now.

    You do realize that with 4 consoles you have a calculated 9.63% chance of a proc which is close to the 10% chance you're complaining about. Not sure where you read they're no supposed to stack.

    Did you not add up the total hits? Did you not see the part where i said they were hitting in groups of 4? Which indicates that not only do they add up for the proc chance which is fine. But each one then hits when it should have been 1 hit and not 4. It's 4 times as much as it should have been. It should have hit 469 times and not 1,876 times as the proc added up all the consoles.

    The max plasma fire hits per second was 16 per second. Yes 16 hits in 1 second. This is mathematically improbable. And that happened more then once during that conduit run. oops rechecking logs and i see 1 time that it hit 20 times in 1 sec as well. doh

    That would require 20 targets. And there's never a point during a conduit run when you have 20 targets at once. Most would be 8-10. So see where i'm coming from now? Something is way screwed up here.
