So ok players, my emergency power to shields does not work, at all, fix it please.

    I push the key and the buff shows up like always and the key timer starts but my shields do not regenerate at all, I tried this on other characters and it still works, just not on my main.

    The same thing happens with a number of abilities to me as well.. science team, engineering team and emergency power to shields are all culprits. They work maybe half the time. The other half, they burn the cooldown and nothing happens.

    What shields are you using? If it's level 1 power to shields and you're using shields with really high health it's my experience that it doesn't go up because it's barely doing much of your shields. While on escorts teh thing fills up shields like mad.

    hmm I had that Problem with Open beta, it was strange because after I got power up to full strength it stopped doing it. that or it could of been the shields, I normally use fast regeneration shields, but before that I used normal shields .

    It doesn't matter what shields are used, it's not just the shield abilities that fail. Engineering team restores hull points, and a number pops up when it works.

    I actually didn't have this happen during open beta.. it popped up a day or so before head start ended

    Multiple types. It doesn't appear to matter what variety of shields I'm using, there's some other factor involved. Again, it's not just the shield-repair abilities that aren't working, engineering team does the same thing. I've seen high yield torpedoes fizzle as well, just not as often.

    Don't those abilities rely on Auxiliary power? Try using the balanced energy setting, or put as much energy as you can into auxiliaries and then try it.

    I considered that, they behave erratically whatever the energy setting is.

    Just to back up Whuffa, I've had the same thing happen, predominately I've noticed with Science Team and Engineering Team. I haven't seen it happen often with EPS.

    Button pressed, buff registers on ship buffs, cooldown commences, but nothing actually happens. Worse, it happens just randomly. Differing situations, just works whenever it apparently feels like it.

    It's like 'Ability Lottery'. Mini game, perhaps?
