Empyrean storm - bug?

[jackiedhalgren]

Hey Lord Captains,
I picked up Empyrean Storm and it made the next ship combat way less tedious. That said, every ship battle since, it is greyed out/unavailable. I've bug reported, but wondering if anyone else has this problem - maybe there are conditions for its deployment that I'm missing. Cheers.

The use of that ability depends on your warp channeler having a high warp lore skill stat (A presumption).
The bigger it is, the sooner it charges, I have heinrix with 162 warp lore and I get to use it fairly often in space combat.

I have 97 warp - I can't use it at all anymore. Would be good to see some info about how many battles it takes to recharge - because the ability says it can be used every round (and in the first combat, I did use it pretty much every round). Thanks tho

I also have this problem, yes - I don't know what it up with this ability. One way I've gotten it to work is by swapping out my posts after each battle, but that is pretty tedious

I have the same problem. worked once in combat, have obsolved approx 5-6 void battles since then. there is a purple bar beneath the empyrean symbol, but it will not charge.

I have cassie at something like 100 warp. It is not charging.

The same goes for the skills All Hands on Deck and Boarding Party.

These skills have will not recharge even though I have won multiple void battles since then!

try removing and reassigning them to the post on the ship.

it seems to sometimes bug out after use and not charge properly unless you do that.

Right ... I have the same issue with All Hands on Deck. I got so tired of it that I rolled an extra character just to give them as much Warp Lore as possible, and it still didn't work ...

It's essentially a heroic ability from what I can tell and you have to build back up the heroic bar after every battle.

Makes sense, but I have won well over 5 or even 7 void battles since then and the bars are not really changing.

I wIll try removing all of them from their posts before a void batlte and reaassiging them after.

You need to encounter warp events (yellow or worse paths) to recharge it.

Well, that wouldn't it be nice to have that in the skill description?
Those "heroic space battle" abilities have been bugged since the Alpha. I really would like what it takes to recharge the other heroic abilities like the multiple torpedo launches and boarding parties.
It's really a mess and players still have to ♥♥♥♥ around and find stuff out.

It was somewhere in the game - that's how I found it. Either in tutorials or into build-in Codex, I don't remember now.

Ok, I just checked this by using an orange warp route in an attempt to recharge the skill.
I got an warp event, but the cooldown timer still hasn't changed.
So I guess whatever was valid in days past it is no longer working that way.

I have the same issue but now I can use the weapon again. I saw that the duration for the all hands on deck ability is 8. Maybe that is supposed to mean a cooldown of 8 battles- i havent counted but it could be 8 since i last used it.
Apart from that I did not change anything between the last battle i couldnt and this were i can use the ability.

There is also a tooltip about ultimate abilities (second paragraph of the tooltip) that confirms that "every round of space combat, space events and the end of space combat"will reward some filling of the ultimate meter

its supposed to last 8 turns in battle, same with the other abilities that have that. as to cooldowns, i dont know. Ive used the ultimate abilities like..once a playthrough because they wont recharge :/

Well not many Space Battle last that long. If the cooldown is really set for turns in a space battle, you have to extend the battles to make use of the skill.
I'm not sure if it works this way. I had battles with the cooldown on that skill being active, not being able to use it and after the battle the timer on the skill was higher than it was before.
