I'm not sure if anyone has seen the new Space Weapon set coming with the Species 8472 reputation system; but the four piece bonus is of particular concern for Space PvP.
- (Screenshot Link)
- Energy Weapons have a 1% chance to:
- Reduce Hull Healing by 50% for 10 seconds
- Disable Hull Regeneration for 10 seconds
- Remove one active Heal-Over-Time Effect
- Max once per 10 seconds
- Buff effect does not stack
- (Chance increased to 10% vs. Undine)
Any thoughts on how this set bonus will affect Space PvP?

Depends on where the 4th piece comes from...where's the:
Console - Tactical - Counter-Command Multi-Conduit Energy Relay
What does it do? And will folks give up a Tac Console slot for it?
I'm guessing that will be a featured episode reward from "A Step Between Stars Part 2".

Which would likely mean next to no testing of it before it goes live...meh.
I'm also curious with it saying "buff effect does not stack" - so are they saying that it's a 10s lockout on the target? Will it stack with other such negative effects from other sources?
Is this a debuff that is cleansed by the WCE DOFF? Anything else?
Just so much potentially to test with it. Or just a load of questions for the devs whenever a blog appears with it.
They are starting to get into that X/Y PvE/PvP value sort of thing - flanking, normalizing the AP stuff, and hrmmm...
Honestly that console would have to really be something fantastic to make it worth dropping a Spire DMG console.
Also this set forced you to run torps.. which is ok... just saying you are now down one weapon that can't proc this.
The set retaining its higher chance to proc against Undine lockbox ships.
