Ar'kif high-visibility problems which still need to be fixed

These are high-visibility issues plaguing Ar'kif tactical carrier warbirds which have yet to be fixed. Most have already been reported, but have seen no resolution.

Annihilation Beam
This console-given power cuts off in mid-use. The main causes for this is that the toggable power cuts off due to drops in latency combined with the use of many other powers, fooling the game into thinking the power was prematurely toggled off.

Suggested fix: Remove the toggle and make it behave more like a Tachyon beam. Players do not need the ability to prematurely turn this off, and we'll be much happier with knowing it will last its full 20-second as advertised. If we truly want to stop the beam, we can move it out of arc, or press the ESC key to lose our present target.

Fleet Ar'kif "Romulan Fleet" material
When customizing the Fleet Ar'kif, the "Romulan Fleet" material is missing from the dropdown menu. This makes it so that we cannot customize the Fleet Ar'kif in the ship tailor and retain the Fleet skin look which it initially comes with.

Suggested fix: Add the "Romulan Fleet" material to the Material dropdown menu for the Fleet Ar'kif Tactical Carrier Warbird Retrofit.

    Bumping this up.

    The Annihilation beam may take some time to fix, but the missing fleet material on the arkif is a 30 second fix and there's no excuse why that can't be in the patch tomorrow, if not then by next week.

    I just got my shiny new arkif working today after a fair amount of work, and it took me all of 2 stfs to be so fed up with this that I had to take to the internet and see what others have said about it.

    I mean, WOW, this is bad. This is one of the very few unique consoles I would want to actually use, but its completely unusable unless they fix this.

    While I admit it does tend to cancel use from time to time, for me it still has a 80-90% success rate of working correctly.

    I have the same problem with mine. Just cuts off for no apparent reason.

    The game suffers from way too much UI/network latency. I suspect that if the beam was changed to no longer be a toggle it would cut the complaints in half at minimum.

    The problem is that there's not supposed to be '10-20%' at all!

    Yes I am quite aware of that, but until they can narrow it down for a fix I can live with it.
