Endothermic Inhibitor Beam suggestion

Endothermic Inhibitor Beam is a space training manual for eng boffs obtained during Q's Winter Wonderland Winter Event

With the winter event coming up soon I suggest it be made a universal training manual that sci and tac boffs that can be trained as well in it or at least a variant for them.

    I think no one sees creating 'all-profession' abilities as something there's precedent or need for. If you want it, use an engi slot for it. That's hardly a demanding proposition, such they you need to be able to shoe horn it into any possible Boff slot.

    Well... that means you don't have room for it in your build. Every build is like that to some degree.

    If you can't fit it in, you don't want it ENOUGH. That's not a reason to make it universal.

    What is funny is that we used to have quite a few engineering heavy ships, which could slot this an the acton beam in, but than the focus on a need for more tactical focused cruisers dwindled these numbers. Which i do understand as engineering is abit lacking in the usefulness of some Lt. Com an above abilities, but I think it was a better option to redesign/buff these lacking abilities to make them more worthwhile than just shifting the focus to so many tactical cruisers.

    I personally quite enjoy using the weaponized emitter trait from the tier six advanced heavy cruiser, which causes your acton beam an overwhelm emitters to cause a radiation based dot to all targets in a 3km area about the main target. Add in that I also like to use warp plasma after using gravity well to clump up the targets to get as much radiation dots applied, and then surround the grav well targets in warp plasma. Not sure though if endo beam is affected by weaponized emitter trait, but i would think not, as I have not really taken the time to run a test of it.

    Personally I actually had wished that we might have seen it that while using overwhelm emitter or another ability, would cause acton beam an endothermic beam to spread to all targets within 3-5 km of the main affected target if used during the duration of the overwhelm emitter or other ability's duration. One reason for this is that the idea of getting both of the secondary effects of the endo an acton beam abilities would be quite nice on multiple targets, alongside the normal radiation damage which might make these a bit more favorable abilities to slot in those slots.

    My only gripe about it is that it's only available on characters that got the winter store unlocked and it's even character bound. Make it a recipe for crafting and tenfold (or more) it's price so it behaves like the other "newer" powers we got, like focused assault and DRB.
