Beams suddenly stops firing (corrosive plasma bug)

I noticed on one of my ships with beams: during battle it suddenly stops firing for about one full cycle and then continue (it is better seen on single target). Checked by DPS meter - DPS reduced almost by half from 50k to 27k (so it is not a hallucination).
I changed nothing - it happened by itself with start of breach event (with last patch) or a little earlier.
Some players are experiencing the same (was asking on DPS channels).
I'm not totally sure it is the only affected character, because my others with beams mostly have pets, higher (and more wide range) DPS and other sources of damage (like science) and it maybe not very noticeable.
Since the announce of skills revamp, there are two suggestions - it was some "small fixes" (resulted in bug) for firing "haste" of "power cost" mechanics. BTW it is my only beams ship with aura (i use weapon cost aura).
UPD: same with my Romulan veteran warbird (beam banks)...

Thank you, kind Sir!
Only yesterday i was thinking about plasma (both affected ships was plasma based). Today i confirmed - both had some corrosive plasma beams. Removed them - everything is now allright.
