Ability: Electromagnetic Pulse Probe

Overview

Creates a targetable probe that flies toward the target's location. On its way, it has a chance to disable all foes within a small radius. When it has reached its target, all enemies within the same radius will be disabled and receive electrical Damage.

Basic Information

• Profession: Intelligence
• Locale: Space
• Game Description: Launch a slow-moving probe which will always travel to the location they were at when the ability was activated. While en route, it will periodically emit a high-powered electromagnetic pulse that will temporarily disable any enemy ships within a short radius. Once it reaches its destination, it will explode in a violent burst that deals kinetic damage and disables any foes caught in the blast.

Ability Ranks

Ability/User Rank	CD	Ability Effects
Rank I: Lieutenant	1 min	Creates a EMP Probe I, flies to Target's Location Foes within 2km of Probe take ___ Electrical Damage and 40% chance: Disable for 3.8 sec (half duration vs. Players) When target reached, All foes within 2km: ___ Electrical Damage Disable for 12 sec
Rank II: Lt. Commander	1 min	Creates a EMP Probe II, flies to Target's Location Foes within 2km of Probe take ___ Electrical Damage and 60% chance: Disable for 3.8 sec (half duration vs. Players) When target reached, All foes within 2km: ___ Electrical Damage Disable for 15 sec
Rank III: Commander	1 min	Creates a EMP Probe III, flies to Target's Location Foes within 2km of Probe take ___ Electrical Damage and 80% chance: Disable for 3.8 sec (half duration vs. Players) When target reached, All foes within 2km: ___ Electrical Damage Disable for 18 sec

Notes/References

• If the probe is still traveling/pulsing, the Disable may be re-applied.
• The probe created by this ability can be targeted, destroyed and sometimes be outran/avoided.
• This ability received a rework as part of a larger Intelligence specialization update, with the March 17, 2022 update.
  • Flight Speed increased by 50% at all ranks
  • Added Electrical Damage to probe's pulses while in-transit to destination. Foes within 2km of probe will take some damage now.
  • Damage now scales with Particle Generators skill.
  • Disable durations now scale with Control Expertise skill.
  • Base duration of pulsing Disable (not final detonate) has been reduced, and benefits less from Control Expertise.
  • Probe will no longer detonate until at least 10 seconds have passed, even if launched at very close range.
  • This power is now labeled as a Control Bridge Officer Ability, and can interact with applicable effects and triggers such as Secondary Deflectors. (Secondary Deflectors are currently not working with this ability)
