What's with the INSANE *cooldown* of the haakona separation?

So, I just hit 50 and got me my haakona from my legacy pack....aannnd.....
The cooldown is absurd. Ten minutes for the section you separate, and 5 minutes for the other section. I don't know for certain but my fleetmates tell me that the mva doesn't even have a cooldown.
What is up with this?

The MVA does infact have a cooldown... your Fleet Mates are quite wrong.
However, this sounds about right, as far as cooldown is concerned, compared to MVA.

So far for the Legacy pack being awesome.

Even death keeps you separated (though, if the "pet" dies, you have to recombine, then separate again to bring it back).
So, really, unless you're prone to letting the pet die (by lack of holding aggro, or killing threats to it's immediate safety) the cooldown is fine.
Then why bother with the Haakona at all? Just get a Fleet Ha'Feh and be done.

Yeah, I'm planning on it. Tier 5 Shipyards don't happen overnight though.
Thanks Kregor, that was my main concern, seperation after death.
10 min CD sounds stupidly long time, 1-2 mins CD after reattachment or destruction is reasonable.
I'n orbitable space like ESD or DS9 New romulus etc etc, where there is no combat, seperation cooldowns should be no more than 30 seconds after reattachment.
All cooldowns no matter what should be reset when a match is complete so you can enter a brand new match with a clean sheet to play with.
10m mins is way way excessive.
It's not as excessive as it sounds.
Once you separate you have 10 minutes before you can separate again on the same mode. If you want to use the other mode, that starts a 5 minute cooldown.
If you die and respawn, you respawn separated so you have no need to wait for a cooldown. The 10 minute cooldown on the first separation type is pretty misleading, it's 5 minutes per type.
Seems fine to me, I didn't have a problem with the MVAE and that respawned you whole!
Kirk's Protege.
when you separate it starts first cooldown. BUT! if you reattach the second cooldown starts.
for example: you separate, play for a while and 8 minutes later realize that another section is died. you try to reattach and another 10 min cooldown starts on the same separation mode. don't know if its intended or bug.
i think either the cooldown should be way shorter, like 2-3 minutes or separated section should respawn together if you got destroyed. even galaxy has only 5 min cooldown, which still annoying. but 10 min is just insane.
because another part is integral part of the ship regardless in which mode you separate.
unlike the galaxy saucer separated section of haakona provide invaluable buffs/debuffs or damage. being forced to play whole stf because of the cooldown without separated section leaves your ship seriously gimped.
seriously, all other ships that have different "deployment modes" like chimera have a cooldown of 20-40 seconds!
The annoying thing is the cooldown exists even if you leave the match area. If you beam to a planet then back again 1/2 hour hour or longer, even if you log out then back in the cooldown still carries on from where you left it. Woooot!!!!
No CD is way too long. 2-3 mins maximum. and CD should not be suspended when you go to a planet or ground location.
