Sphere regen and disablers.

I was watching the most recent replay and saw something I've noticed before, that while a Sphere is regenerating, any disablers used on it will be instantly regenned so they are useless (except Chargh, but that's probly just cause it is designed to look like it's holding a ship in place and would be silly if the subsystem could repair Chargh disablement.) This means that your hard-earned critical shot Defiants won't disable weapons on the sphere unless they manage to hit it before it regens.

I think that Sphere regen shouldn't be able to instantly regenerate any subsystem disablement, just reduce the time to half. This way those specials would still be somewhat useful while the Sphere is regenning, and weapons disabling specials could stop regen.

A sphere easily has a System value around 70+.  Disablers don't last long anyway.  Sometimes they don't even last long enough to be noticed between shots.  I find that against the Borg, better to focus on firepower than trying to take out their systems.

Sorry, that's wrong as I've told you before, and I encourage you to test it out or look in the ODFs . Regen does not affect disablers whatsoever  ^-^ .
