I cuurently have my Tac using an Auxillary defeating buff.

Since the Big Romulan and Hirogen can still "cheat torpedo" me, I'm thinking of swapping that for a shield or weapon defeating buff.

Opinions.

    They cheat torpedo you? What does that even mean?

    Anyway, based on my stuff I just dont see much effect from any of the subsystem targeting abilities.

    A "cheat torpedo" is a purple/ pink fluffy ball that stops your ship dead in space for at least 10- 15 seconds while the big lame looser ships hammer you with hvy plasma torpedos.

    Your talking about Viral Matrix and you can have that too, It's a science officer ability.

    what are you flying first of all ?

    Yeah, the purple ones are Viral matrix, which I have on my ship.. I also have Science Team, which prevents it from sticking to me if I use it while the purple ball is on the way to me.

    I'm currently in a Hvy Cruiser, but I've been dealing with these cheaters since my regular Cruiser.

    I'm thinking a balancing fix would be to let me fire my warp core as a guided unshootable projectile, but even that wouldn't be cheat enough to match.

    I've been shooting down Hvy Plasmas ever since I met the Romulans. I always lead them on a stern chase so I have plenty of time.

    cheat torpedo locks everything, that's not fair.

    I have nullified it by hitting Evasive actions just before impact, makes it disapear?

    Science Team is a Lt skill?

    Just use Science team, Every time you see it coming press Science team and it should stop it from working.
