Cruiser channels

Maybe it's me but I think ANY use of cruiser channel is instant aggro. I lit off the shield modulation in a Borg invasion and was nuked in about 5 seconds... In a freaking ODYSSEY!

Anyone else finding the powers are drawing extra aggro?

    Yeah, that threat generation one is really drawing aggro.
    No idea why...

    Haven't had a problem, but then I always built my cruisers to be extremely durable to begin with. Maybe you're just doing better damage with the the anti-drain aura, or moving into better position with the turning boost? Could always try some runs with just the shield one running, see how that goes.

    Been using them on my FACR and Fleet Corsair with no extra agro. Corsair I use the shield boost and it's definatly not adding threat.

    Sounds like you go hit with tachyon, magic borg plasma burn, crit invisa-torp, and maybe a lance/KCB all at the same time. Borg are good at cheating that way and will do exactly that if you are not specced in insulators and get near them before anyone else does.

    only two i have used were the weapon buff and the shield buff. have not touched the aggro or turn rate.. heck I even forgot there WAS a turn buff. I'll take the aggro for that one !

    The attract fire command attracts aggro like a professional. Get 4 Escorts to park on toy pop off that bad boy, and watch the pain rain your way.

    It pulls so much aggro off your team it they are within the right distance that the Crystal Entity barely fires at them. Its awesome IF you cvan handle the incoming fire properly.
