Any news on the upcoming changes to [Pla] consoles?

I hope that "not a mere attack" is farther away than "at some point in the near future."

Because, when you push to tribble a nerf of a MK XIV Epic console to pre-DR levels, are shown that a significant part of that change is based on logic that I showed and was admitted to be faulty, and then push that live anyway, because you'll have some other change coming down the line, I would at least like communication that it's being worked on.

Based on my math, I was expecting ~1.5k base dps per console, post change. I'm currently getting ~200 per console. While a lot of people have simply switched back to their standard crit boosting consoles, for anyone who wants an actual science console, let alone one that boosts threat, it would be nice to have that console do at least the ~800 it was pre-dr at MK XII, or, since it should be 30% better now, ~1000.

So, since what we've been happiest about lately is communication, can we get any kind of news on this?

I am also curious as to the progress of the fixing of these consoles as well. Myself and many others have spent significant resources acquiring and upgrading them to MK XIV Epic. They are overnerfed currently, and I have anxiously been awaiting an update as well since it was promised they would have a solution in the near future.

Well given that they were meant to be a boost to comparatively-weak plasma weapons (at the time of introduction) with the proc bonus a sop to non-plasma users, and they're an extra feature on consoles that already do two significant things otherwise, it probably ever shouldn't be anything too significant so much as a cute little extra. If sticking to theme, if anything whatever proc they set up should probably always be best when used on plasma weapons, and if its superior on non-plasma then it probably hasn't been nerfed enough. *shrugs*
