    • The Resistance buff will persist for the full 10 seconds, even if the Stealth is cancelled.
  • "Assign Raiding Party" may now only be activated while in Sector Space.
    • The effects did not carry from Ground maps to Space maps, so being able to use it elsewhere only allowed a player to waste their cooldown.
