Thanks for the reply. Yeah, to me, the polaron bonus that you can get from the universal consoles is just sick. I haven't yet run "Home" again to get the Morphogenic Polaron Torpedo, but if it gets all for the same polaron bonuses, I'm expecting it's going to max out at something north of 10,000 polaron damage/1000 dps…
Update - I received an e-mail at 2 PM EDT suggesting that perhaps the problem had been addressed (asking that I rate the support received). I tested ground weapons at 8 PM today (4/28) and the issue is not fixed. They still require a special attack round to be fired before they will fire in basic mode. Ticket #171099
Final note - if it is helpful in solving this, the first time I really noticed this effect was re-running Blood of the Ancients late Saturday afternoon, EDT on April 25.
I perhaps should have also noted that the same seems to apply to my Winter Wonderland weapon (the Impaler), and the issue only started a bit after I'd purchased it and started using it.
Just signed up and can't start a new thread, so I hope everyone will forgive me for perhaps taking this on a very slight tangent. Vulcan Engineering Captain flying a Tactical Odyssey (so you can see relationship to tanking with an Odyssey) and exclusively PvEing. :) Will complete the Dyson, Nukara, and Omega Reputation…
