Powers:

  • All explosions caused by Neutronic torpedoes are now limited to a maximum of 10 targets.
    • Subspace Vortex no longer shares a cooldown category with Gravity Well and Tyken's Rift, but also no longer benefits from "Deflector" ability cooldown Duty Officers.
    • Subspace Vortex now more reliably cleans itself up, and triggers the appropriate cooldown on expiration.
