what its supposed to do

clearly active in the system, defenses at 50%

and nope, enemy crew still completely healthy

only way i can think of this "working as intended" instead of being bugged is that i was a turn too late and they already recovered all their troops in 1 turn
which would make them shit genestealers as they are supposed to infiltrate and only strike when the hive approaches
they are completely useless currently

tho i guess a temporary crit that will immediately be repaired and a pathetic 10% firerate increase is probably not going to make the difference between the balance in these factions
