Nah, turns out foxes *eat* birds. Or more specifically firefox has issues with the forum software (but not chromium base). This is the only thing chrome is used for on my computer, and I hate it but until it can be pinned down... well...
This was a thread to test if I could read/reply to things, and helped me figure out the browser thing.

interesting Idea for an Energy Control power:
Laser Volley: Summon Laser Pets, Life Duration; 300s, Recharge; 600s (attacks; [Laser Rays: Ranged Cone Moderate Damage Energy (5 damage, in 10 rays), Attack Duration; 2s, Recharge; Very Short (4s) Foe: Knockdown, Blind(Mag5, 30s), Disorient, 45% chance for Blind (Mag 16, 90s)]
"The world's most dangerous Lights Show. You release 2 to 4 highly compact energy balls which cannot be targeted nor destroyed as they are not alive but merely energy controlled by you. They follow you and fire multiple lasers from random angles into enemies you come accross, the lasers are aimed high, foes are knocked down on impact, and will be disoriented by the flashing lights when getting back to their feet, the laser lights make it difficult to see; blinding enemies to attackers. Some lasers may hit enemies in the eyes blinding them more severely. These pets only have enough energy to shoot lasers for 5 minutes, after which time they disperse into nothing. Using this power takes alot of focus to maintain, your brain needs to rest for a long time before you are ready to do it again.
again, this set is in the basic rough idea phase and subject to change and suggestion, none of the attacks listed in this thread are "final" nor must they be used in the set nor at any given level.
better suggestions? better names? tell us!

I thought others might benefit from the Mids data file, so I've transcribed it as accurately as I can and posted it here. Hope it helps!

I know this has been reported multiple times, this thread stands as a record of what it is and when it happens.
What it is: some players go to get a nuke in warburg, you know launch the missile,( "but I'm le tired" "well, then take a nap, then launch the missiles!" -if you get the quote), in the process of doing so as soon as they tell a lab tech to follow them all players in zone experience getting disconnected from the mapserver. Apparently, the mapserver resets to some previously known state before you told the technician to follow you, so you may end up standing in a different place when you return to the game.
I suspect this is a built-in failsafe to protect against bugs permanently bricking zones or characters.
Observations: When it happens:
#1: Genesis Incarnate Powers are Slotted
IF you do not have incarnate genesis powers and have this bug; clear all enemies around the lab technician and turn off ALL powers and unslot all incarnate powers from their incarnate slots. then talk to the lab technician and ask them to follow you.
If this works, the problem may be one of your powers or enhancement procs etc., to remedy it: With ALL powers off, as the lab tech to follow you, Try turning on each power ONE-at-a-Time, walk around and then turn on the next one. repeat until you mapserve, if none, slot your incarnate powers ONE-at-a-time, then walk around and slot the next one. What ever power you turned on before you mapserved is the culprit, report it. Someone else with the same power but no/different enhancements should try it. if they are also bugged then it's the power, if they are not bugged it's an enhancement.
If it does not work!: It may be one of your Auto powers, these are powers you cannot deactivate easily, you'd have to get someone to make a build with the same sets without those Auto powers, then if that doesn't cause the problem you'll have to build them in one at a time until it causes the issue.
It could be power casts too, or pets, or pet power casts, or bonuses, chances for something etc., use a process of elimination, watch Combat logs, and see what powers/pet powers cast before you mapserv. report them.
simple tests really.
But for now I do know that the following causes it 100% of the time Definitely:
Socket Core Flawless Genesis
it is not known if ALL genesis powers cause it but it is highly suspected as such.
Other possibly relevant information for Game Moderators and Devs (the following did not cause this bug during my successful tests)
AT: Tanker
Primary: Willpower
Secondary: Electrical Melee
Willpower Powers:
All.
Electrical Melee Powers:

I think we need to test the "average-maximum" team distance. it'll mean having the server collect and record /loc data to figure out distances on X,Y,Z, given a range of different map types.
the reason I say that is 20ft in game or even 40ft might be different than you imagine. I assume each player bounds is roughly 2ft to 3ft, we divide that in half for AoE origin so 1 to 1.5ft, this is the bare-bones collision distance. some rays will even fail to detect objects flatly crammed up against this bounds. then you have enemies attempting to arrangethemselves around the target, perhaps 30 of them+some that are just standing there because they cannot be engaged because they are over the agro cap, each one of these adds 3x3, however they wont be arranged in neat square-flush blocks, instead corners of their bounds will meet flats of other's bounds pushing them out ever so slightly. so at "minimum-maximum" the next player Might be 3 or 4 enemy lengths+0.5theplayer width. so like 10.5 to 13.5 if everything is neat and compact. but that player and the enemies will literally have to be pressed together like a full elevator of people.
more often than not this is not the case, people and enemies do not cram in. they reach the maximum range for their attacks to cast and stop. melee range is like 7ft -3ft(1.5 player width and 1.5 enemy width) so they typically stop leaving a gap of 4ft, one or 2 might jump in there because they are cast-blocked by the rest of their horde denying them access to melee range to the target, but such hap-hazard jump-ins are far from neat and usually don't leave much or any space for new squeeze-ins leaving unoccupied melee range space that none can fit in.
but anyways 7ft roughly. 2 of these distances is 14, 3 is 21ft. I'd say that's average between 21 and 28ft of enemies + obstacles, that means at 30ft outside players would have to cram in leaving at most 0.5ft gap between them and the outermost enemy. but they often do not do that. as that would potentially incite far more than they intended to return fire. so they typically give it max melee or low to moderate ranged distance(but in some conditions high ranged distance for sniping and squishies). that's a gap of anywhere between 7ft, 10ft, 40ft or potentially upto 80ft.
That's if it's all neat and tidy where the tanker has full agro and has pinned the horde on a corner somewhere to draw all the ranged enemies into melee range.
More often, I've noticed players don't understand this concept that "it's quicker to dispatch enemies in a pile" and they engage before the tank and the mob spreads out to each player, the average player distance being 10ft to 15ft from each other.
so.. I'll let you investigate further and draw your own conclusions, these are just my observations.
a former thought for team insps is any ally engaged in battle(attacking or being attacked with-in the last X seconds) could recieve the benefit regardless distance or LoS. but yeah that'd take retooling as well.

Wait? you don't?!
oh.. right, it doesn't exist.
They're called PEACEBRINGERS. 
If you want the "dark" version, play a (MFing) WARSHADE. 
Probably not the response you were expecting, but ... 
Peacebringers were the "everything else" that they couldn't fit in an AT and powersets that people requested, but tbh not much control. they are like ranged and melee mix tanks. so if they were shooting for Energy Control... and got essentially a super blaster.. then.. yeah I'm gonna say we still need an actual energy control powerset lol.
we can tone down the damage if that's the issue. but yeah an energy control set really should be done at some point.
Peacebringers are like an energy assault set. no control in it.
