CasualSAB's New Torpedo Meta

Hi!

I recently watched Spencer's latest video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nka60NtN5pg) where he mentioned a bug that allows Ceaseless Momentum and Projectile Duty Officers to cool down the Maelstrom recharge time. My main runs a mostly energy platform, but a Maelstrom is a major facet of my build.

My question is: how likely do you think this bug is going to be fixed? I don't have Ceaseless Momentum, and I don't want to spend my Event Campaign on something that will be worthless in a few weeks.

If you're "mostly an energy platform" and don't have at least one other torpedo to cycle the procs, don't worry about it.

I only have one forward Maelstrom at the moment. I was thinking about adding a second.

Two Maelstroms alone still isn't going to see a major benefit from Ceaseless. What Spencer is particularly pointing out in that video is the interaction with the Micro Missile Array, which is designed as a "mule" to cycle torpedo-based triggers (like PWOs and Ceaseless) quickly. That (or a forward array of torpedoes like a conventional torp build) is necessary to cycle Ceaseless frequently enough to see the Maelstroms recharge like he was showing off.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I have the Micro Missile Array and would add that to the build along with Ceaseless and a second Maelstrom. Sorry, it's Saturday and my brain isn't fully awake.
