Omega engine and 100% reduction on CD of slipstream drive ...

I bought one of the Omega Engines Mk 10 only for 100% reduction to CD on slipstream drive .
It did not work , my slipstream CD is the same with and without it .
Like a good little soldier i reported it right away ( after trying it on few other ships and other small thingy i could come up with ) and waited . In the mean time tbh i lost confidence in most of other items where i can not see the perks of using them right away - DOFF system for exp . doff reduction times in space do not work as they say they will .
Today i got a answer to my ticket where some smar a** copy/pasted 5 most usual problem solutions !!! Even do i filed my ticket in proper place with a proper title !!! I mean if someone gets a ticket that is about items skills called Omega engine ...(full title) .... why would i need to know how to recover my pass or C-Store item return policy ??? .
After cooling down i understood that They do not even read tickets just opening , pasting ONLY solutions to problems they will help you with and closing the ticket . So i decided to post on the forums and ask the community for help .
Can someone help me with a problem i have please ?
I would really like to solve it so i can go on buying stuff from Omega rep.
Thank you

    Your post is rather unreadable, but the Omega's engine cool down reduction is a fairly well known and long running problem.

    sadly there is no evidence that Cryptic is working on a fix that I can find

    1. The omega engine cooldown doesn't work. At all.
    2. I don't believe in-game bug reports rate a response. The issues is noted and case is then closed.
    3. The 100% cooldown reduction quote in the tooltip is obviously incorrect, 100% would eliminate the cooldown completely.

    Cryptic often makes this mistake with percentages.

    What the tooltip says: 100% recharge time reduction
    What they meant: 100% increase to recharge rate
    What the engine used to do: reduce the cooldown from 2 minutes to 1 minute
    What the engine does now: reduce the cooldown from 2 minutes to 1 minute and 30 seconds
    Waiting for a programmer ...

    Both (KDF and FED Mk XI) of mine do not reduce the cooldown at all even though it says it does.

    When I look at the quantum slipstream ability ('p' menu) it says 2 mins with a generic engine and 1 min with the Omega. If you use the ability though it goes on a 2 min cooldown with generic engine, 2 mins with omega engine.

    *Edited to add, I see from the other thread that you have a MKXII, I will have to try one of those.
