I am wondering where this skill is needed besides:

Tachyon Beam
Energy Siphon
Tyken's Rift - power drain
Target Shields Subsystems
Target Weapons Subsystems
Target Engines Subsystems
Target Auxiliary Subsystems
Polaron weapon proc
Tetryon weapon proc

and of course..Plasmonic Leech console

anywhere else?
Grinding for MkIV epic gear?

    Plasmonic Leech with High Flow Capacitors is always good because of the nice power increase you will get.

    In PvE I can disable Borg Spheres for a short period of time in Elite STF missions using Plasmonic Leech and Polaron weapons. I have even been able to disable Borg Cubes in such missions but it is more rare and they are disabled for much shorter time.

    Also the skills are cheap to invest in.

    Aceton Assimilators
    Power Siphon Drones

    These will be affected by Flow Capacitors also. For PVE, a KDF Carrier with a power drain build can make things a whole lot easier with hard hitting targets and structures. In PVP, it can be crippling for players that aren't ready to deal with them.

    Flow caps (and by extension, all player skills) shouldn't affect pets. If they do, then that is a bug.

    I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    Charged Particle Burst and the Antiproton Sweep of Jem'Hadar set are also affected by Flow Capacitors.

    After a patch early this year all shield draining/destroying abilities are affected by Flow Capacitors. For example CPB was affected by Particle Generators, but now it is Flow Capacitors.
