Kelvin timeline Phasers knockback proc?

I read that the Kelvin timeline phasers come with a knockback proc. 20m? But does that even make sense in space where we are talking about 10km weapons range? If a ship is 9000m away a 20 m knockback isn't even noticeable, and doesn't do any extra damage.
Will that be changed to a more useful proc like the original phaser proc or something like extra kinetic damage?

    As far as I know there is no knockback proc. Its an AoE damage proc. I know the secondary fire on the Fed rifle on the ground has a pretty good chance at knockback, but that's about it.

    I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

    It's a 1km diameter AOE attack with a (useless) 20m knockback and a short hold effect. The hold's 3s for NPCs and half that for players. Not terrible for FAWing high-defence ships and targetable munitions.

    ah okay. must be the german translation then. I only read about the knockback. And the DoT from the Temporal Agent specialisation. i'd still prefer some DoT or kinetic damage (not affected by projectile weapon damage skills)
