As bailknight says above, the Missile Barrage level 6 ability of the Marza TEC capital ship is broken. Tested this myself against a large group of enemy orbital structures, and as stated, no damage is applied to any of the targets until the ability expires, where it then applies a small amount of damage. As you might imagine, this is far different than the way it's supposed to work, which is intended to be a continuous, er, barrage of missile damage over 25 seconds. My personal theory is that because the buff is flagged as replace, the buff is assigned immediately, but the damage isn't applied until the missile effect reaches the target, by which then a new buff has been assigned, replacing the old one.

In any case, bailknight's changes to the buff look correct. Not that I know exactly what they mean (well, the exclusivity one, anyway), but they match the stacking/exclusivity parameters of other direct damage buffs such as Gauss Blast and Cleansing Brilliance, which work fine and are all marked as stackable and non-exclusive. Changed these on my local machine, and the Missile Barrage suddenly became dangerous. Having a death blossom that does 3000 damage instead of 300 is a little more useful.  Things tend to die quicker.  Or actually die at all, really.
