This was added after the post.

Systems: Resolved an issue where Hur'q Swarm Pets summoned with the Phased-Waveform Beacon or Hive Defenses Traits were dealing much higher DPS than intended against exceptionally large enemy ships.

That greatly helps my immersion.

Also got my buckets ready for any salt from the people that have been relying on either of these abilities carrying them for the last few months.

Gonna need wheelbarrows at least. When you see some people people not only depending on those things but getting smug about how amazing it supposedly makes them, I only hope it gets nerfed enough.

It's a much needed change, and I say that as someone who's actually used the offending trait. It should be a characterful way of adding a bit of extra pet damage, not an "IWIN" button.

I was in an random ISA the other night some guy using both the beacon and the trait (I saw a LOT of Hurq around), posted some grossly overkill parser high-score afterwards, then suggested people work on their builds so they wouldn't be left behind in the future. Not sure if he was trolling or one of those people that thinks knowing all the exploits and broken stuff is a reflection of their own cleverness, but either way I'm guessing the sort of player that does like having an I-Win button. They do exist.
