Klingons space effect

Trying to figure out the effect that will cause me to suddenly move away at full impulse in space and how to counter it. Sometimes I see a countdown above my ship and other times I don't. I have no idea how to counter it and its gotten to the annoying point lol

    It's the intel ability Viral Impulse Burst. Intel team and I think engineering team counter it but since mokai ships always arrive in groups which can spam that sh*t it's better to just stay at a distance so they can't affect you in the first place.

    That said IIRC it's a specific Mokai ship that uses it rather then all of them so kill that ship type should be sort of a counter as well.

    The countdown is for torpedo: transport warhead.

    The impulse burst is stupidly annoying to the point where I simply do not bother with Mokai patrols. You can try to stay beyond 5km, but that can ruin your own strategies, or it might be perfectly fine for you.

    On my fed main (eng) it is annoying. With my romulan alt, it's a little more moot. My alt is a tac heavy powerhouse. Hard to get viral impulse spam if everything dead.
    If you set a man a fire he will be warm for a night. If you a man on fire he will be warm for the rest of his life.

    I have been completely unable to find anything that counters this. It's a 100% successful strike by the enemy and nothing you can do about it.. absolutely horrible game design. It doesn't hurt you, just annoys you and there is nothing you can do about it.

    I haven't tried Intel Team, but I know Engineering Team doesn't counter it. Neither does Science Team, Hazard Emitters, Evasive Maneuvers or anything else I have tried. It simply can't be countered.
    Insert witty signature line here.
