The new Isolytic Tear from Subspatial Warheads is effectively broken almost completely useless

Well I was looking forward to the Isolytic Tear from the new Subspatial Warheads trait but it’s close to useless. In 3 tests in Stranded in Space I did around 32 high yield attacks so well over 90 hits and have a grand total of 2 Isolytic Tear hits. The rifts seem to spawn around 3 to 4km away from the target ship and although the rifts move they fade away within seconds long before they get into range to do damage.

In my 4th test I went into a CE and despite a grav well sucking everything towards the middle of the CE with 59 high yield hits I got a grand total of 4 Isolytic Tear hits.

With worse than a 99% miss chance this trait is rather ineffective. Sometimes I do wonder if anyone even tests new traits. The bar minimum of testing should have brought up how badly this functions. Has anyone else got any experience with the Subspatial Warheads trait?

    I've been messing around with it. The rifts seem to spawn close enough to the enemy, they just don't do anything. I haven't done as many attacks is you, but I've yet to have it do ANY damage. Life time of the anomaly seems to range from 1-3 seconds which is laughably short, even if ti was working. I can't believe this could possibly be working as intended.

    They do seem to be short lived. I assumed they were being shot down.

    I've done a variety of additional parses. I've yet to have it do a single point of damage.

    I am glad its not just me. On over 300 High Yield shots I have around 5 hits. Damage was between 300 and 1000 ish and I also noticed if the target dies the rift disappears instantly.
