[suggestion] zoltan crew could speed ion dissipation

Postby rhaining » Fri Sep 19, 2014 9:51 pm

Currently, there are very limited options for dealing with ion damage. There are augments that can help avoid it, which is nice, but if you get hit, you just plain have to wait for it to clear.

It would be cool if Zoltan crew had the ability to speed ion dissipation by 5% (10%?) for the room where they were located. It should stack so that multiple Zoltan crew in the room would make ion effects go away even faster. If this would make Zoltan crew a bit overpowered, I'd prefer this ability over the ability to explode and deal damage to boarders. :^)

The reason I think this would be cool is it would be something to consider and manage during a firefight. Maybe you should man the Cloak with a Zoltan to help it come online faster, or maybe you should move them to the Shield room during a firefight. It also seems consistent with the fact that Zoltan power cannot be ionized.
