Flagship tac mastery trait - how does the stacking work over time?

Each torpedo adds a stack, max 3 stacks, energy damage boost for 20 seconds: + 10% dmg, 1.5% crit chance, 6.6% crit severity.

I understand the first 20 seconds. After that does the cycle start over with 1 stack? Instantly or is there a gap before you can get the first new stack?

For example if you have doffs to let you fire 1 torp every 5 seconds.

time = 0 / 1 stack; = 5 / 2 stacks, = 10 / 3 stacks, = 15 / (still 3 stacks), = 20 / ? 1 stack ?

    Any clue if Spread (or High yield for the HY which spawns multiple torps) count as one stack or multiple?

    Most stacking buffs tend to keep stacking and the final stack refreshes duration each time the proc goes off, unconfirmed but i would expect it to act this way. If you fire no torps for 20 seconds, you lose the buff, otherwise it keeps refreshing its duration each time you fire a torp.

    From my limited testing of this trait, that is how it works. The torpedo must hit the enemy in order for it to proc.

    Thanks! One of my captains has the vet destroyer with 3 x quantums, 1 x DHC, 3 x turrets. This trait would be a nice buff to the cannons since a torp fires every 2.66 seconds even without torp boffs.

    From what I have seen by running CLR whilst testing new trait, there is a definite increase in the number of critical hits recorded.

    All you need is 1 spread for all 3 stacks its not showing in the status screen but it does affect your weapons giving them a boost Yw.
