While you're waiting 5-10x as long to use it, I'm using it 5-10x more often -- because if you're not using it until you have 10-40% of your hull left, you're barely using it at all. Unless, of course, you're doing solo missions, in which case your ship is in no real danger by allowing your HP to go down so low and dying…

@f9 -- I'll remember that now, but it was a very painful lesson. Cryptic really needs to make this clearer, because I'm not the only one who came back from a several-season long hiatus and was ripe for making a mistake of this kind of magnitude. Clarity is never a bad thing, and often the simplest thing to bring about.

One final thing to consider: if you can already stay alive far more often than not, and if you're already to able to generally deliver the heals, etc., to other players that you get out, then anything that adds to your DPS is going to make you kill things faster, which means more missions and better rewards in those…

I use a different calculus. People should think of how much damage they take on the ground and in space, versus how much they're able to dish out in both arenas. In ground combat, I'm much more likely to be hitting lots of things with AOE weapon powers, and much less likely to be taking damage (with my boffs around, or in…

I think they should do something for the fleet version of the ship, but I'm not 100% sure it should be cannons. Personally, it annoys me that the Vesta has cannons... and I'm a sci officer who uses sci ships. The other side of me can concede to your point that if they Vesta can, why not the Nova? That the Nova is smaller…

Polarize Hull has literally never failed me, and I use it at rank 1. You could be bugged, particularly given that the word "immunity" is used in relation to tractor beam in the spell description, but I'm no expert. Also bear in mind that rank 1 gives you +37 damage resistance for 15 seconds. That's not too shabby, IMO.

My problem isn't so much that it could use a buff, but that the other "teams" are better. Tac team is one of the most useful skills in the game, even at rank 1, and a lot of people basically spam it -- and for decent reasons. By the time your shields have no shields left to redistribute with tac team, Science Team is a…

It's an incredibly powerful tool in pvp, under the right circumstances, most applying to Science Vessels. For example, if an escort or BoP decides to rapid fire you, to borrow a quote from that other starry franchise, "it'll be the last mistake [they'll] ever make." It can also be effective as a "go bother someone else for…
