EDIT: • Addressed an issue that could cause command ships and their escorts not to spawn during stage three in the "Herald Sphere" TFO.

Took them a looooooong time to fix that..

Not gonna lie, I'll be interested to see how much of a buff they've given it as I run it on a torp build. If it helps me melt NPC ships quicker, I'm good with it.

Let's face it though, Cryptic have let power creep increase over the years so they may as well just own it and let fly with the buffs.

[Sul-Matuul]

What is this.....a BUFF to something?!?? Are they feeling ok over there in sunny California?

[Scarlett]

It's the water. Or sunlight.

Maybe it's proximity to Hawaii

Hmm, I'm thinking that they're closer to where I am than Hawaii so clearly I'm the good influence
