could use cooldown information for the abilities

[artmangm]

leader class

damn. i was hoping you'd have information on the Psi Operative.

i hadn't seen anything about them, so i am rushing down that tech tree to unlock them.

i just got the capability to build the building that trains them though... so it shouldn't be too long before i can check them out for myself.
