In-game ticket #2500249

Alt used: Fed Tac, Lvl50

My Dyson Science Destroyer has lost the ability to go to Tactical Mode. I was orbiting K7, and I noticed the icon was missing. I opened the powers list to re-slot it, and it is gone from there as well. Sensor Analysis is also missing completely, both from the powers list and the window. The ship is stuck in Science Mode, as indicated by the ship model and power distribution.

This is very bad - a science ship without Sensor Analysis is virtually useless, and it cannot change into Tac Mode to apply more firepower. The whole point of having the Sci-De is its' ability to change from one to the other

    Actually a lot of people (me included) never use the DSD tactical mode lol. Because in most cases, it is useless unless you have the whole set and you can boost the proton cannon. I prefer to have always available my commander science skill, instead of trying to apply a little more firepower that, in the case of the DSD is never enough.

    The DSD in science mode is just a really decent science ship, and thats the reason a lot of people uses it. If you cant have the wells or vesta, the DSD is probably one of the best choices for a science ships.

    About the tactical mode bug, it is al ready reported time ago, but as i see, it was never fixed..

    On my main toon, when in the Sphere, I prefer to fly in to engagements in Tac mode to take advantage of CRF3, then when the furball begins change to sci mode and start throwing around grav wells. With a purple gravimetric DOff on duty, I can get more-or-less continuous grav wells active, and Voth impenetrable shields don't like that.

    I have GWIII and TKII and i use emm all the time, i dont need (i cant anyways lol) to switch to tactical mode, since i am spawning GW and TK all the time. And honestly GW III that is far better than any commander tactical skill. And i have as well, deflector doffs, and i can use GWIII and TKII one after another all the time xD. So, who the hell needs tactical mode?? pff. The tactical mode in DSD is useless most of the times, as i said, is designed for people who have the 3 ships and the whole set with all the abilities.

    Engaging Tac mode, can also cause it to remain stuck in this mode, if left in Tac mode for extended periods.
