The personal space trait, Friends in Unusual Places is still broken. It is supposed to provide a 50% time reduction of Distress Call Abilities. However, when equipped it reduces the shared CD of such abilities to 80 seconds from 120 seconds, but when the CD should it 0, it instead restarts at 40 seconds. 40 plus 80 is 120, the exact same CD you have without the trait equipped. So it does absolutely nothing.

There's nothing on there that says it reduces the shared cooldown.
The blog mentions “Abilities which summon Allies (Consoles, BOFF Abilities, Hanger Pets, Captain Abilities and Distress Beacons) recover their recharge faster.” https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11507273-the-discovery:-emerald-chain-lock-box!
Which doesnt match the trait which says says distress beacon only and doesnt even work on distress beacons. Its been bug reported a few times now.
That's interesting as when I tested which was when it first came out there was a 40 second increase. I will have to retest. Perhaps it changed at some point. Either way its still broken.
So, activation the "Nimbus Pirate Distress Call" should give it a 5 minute cooldown and a 2 minute global cooldown on the others.
Using the trait, we should get a 2:30 cooldown on the activated beacon, and still have a 2 minute global cooldown on the others.
Alas, I do not actually have the Trait to be able to verify/test and merely seek to clarify what the blog is saying - item cooldown, not global cooldown.
EDIT: Just to be clear Nimbus Pirate Distress Call with the trait has a 5 minute cooldown.
Could you share a screenshot of the ingame trait description so that I can try and help make sense of this with you?
The blog, wiki and ingame text are quite different.
Also the blog mentions “Abilities which summon Allies (Consoles, BOFF Abilities, Hanger Pets, Captain Abilities and Distress Beacons) recover their recharge faster.” https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11507273-the-discovery:-emerald-chain-lock-box!
Yet the trait says distress beacon only? As of today's Oct 27th patch still not working.
