Purple Debuff

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
i was just wondering what the debuff is when the enemy causes you to lose control over every system and you get a purple-colored effect around your ship. it seems a bit unfair to freeze someone without some kind of protection to them -- at least in "other" mmorpgs, people would freak out about being frozen and completely vulnerable for such a long period of time.

anyway, since there is no effect icon that indicates what it is, i thought i'd see if anyone knew what the heck it was called and what the rationale behind it is...

    Yep. Viral Matrix. There are counters to it. I believe Attach Pattern Omega is one.

    thanks for the info. science team seems to be a good ability -- i've heard it does some other things like help out with shields. i'll look into it. i still think it's a bit unfair -- for instance, if it was an ability players could have, pvp people would be crying foul.

    Science team. Between all it's other buffs and being a VM counter, it's like more of a must-have than a Orion love slave in your bridge.
