Idea For new Heroic Race

would be great if we had a second race/class for heroic characters. Race Bolian That specialize in Cold Drains and DoTs. Just a thought.

    I imagine that would be quite challenging to program and would potentially put considerable stain on the database with the number of objects in need of replacement.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Well... in a way we can specialize our characters based on what kit modules and skills we pick, and even what specializations we use. Certain spec trees synergize with certain abilities more than others, so for example someone who may main Temporal Spec may get stuff that favors hazards and DoTs. (Note that I don't know for a fact if Temporal is good for ground, I mostly use it for space, but it is an example.)

    If you fight more with modules and use weapons mainly to fill in the gaps, then Temporal spec is great for ground since its main thing there is its kit performance buff. It also synergizes with and extends the duration of DoTs on the ground the same way it does in space, which is good for both modules and DoT weapons.

    Why would Bolians specialize in Cold Drains? So far as I'm aware, they're not a particularly cold species, although they do have acidic blood.

    Nice. My Cryomancer Sci is Primary Temporal spec.

    I keep forgetting which spec i have on for primary/secondary.

    Note to self: Check primary/secondary on chars which feel sub optimal.
    Perhaps spec does not fit with build.

    Also be aware if you're using Pilot or another one that is only contributing to one particular area, like Space only or Ground only. So if you're especially lacking in one or the other you might be using a Spec tree that doesn't apply there.

    I rarely use pilot or the odo spec.
    On the few characters i checked it was intel/temp, but those were engineer/science.

    Have to check what my tac toons are on.
