Fold Space is the only example here where a core function was removed from the set. Energize retained Conserve Power’s endurance discount function. Disruption Arrow retained Acid Arrow’s -res functionality. Moment of Glory retained it’s function as a high def + high res panic button. Not remembering Repulse off the top of my head.

 

So yeah, one time total so far.

 

EDIT: Disrupt/Repulse looks like it probably constitutes a second example yes.

Telekinesis from Mind Control was ally Flight power instead of toggle hold power.

That said Liquiefy really needs recharge reduction.

TL;DR you can change a lot of things but you can’t get rid of sonic having a targeted foe intangibility power.

Or make intangible powers useful, for all 4? In the game that isn't like phase shift for the player.  I suggest turn them into a short duration intangible hold since there are no intangible enhancements, like 6 seconds, then applies a decent amount of damage when they phase in.

All Snipe powers, most of the Pool Powers and Blaster Secondaries, as well as a handful of other powers like Repulse, Dimension Shift and Total Focus.

 

Now, if you want examples of how Homecoming has broken the cottage rule; pretty much ALL pool powers are getting a revamp, as well as some bigger changes to melee, armor and manipulation sets,

As far as I am aware most of those changes did not change the core function of the power. In the few cases where it did, the powers name was changed (making it a different power, thereby invalidating the cottage rule).

Moving the function to another power is not maintaining its core function. Acid Arrow picked up +res to healing and -res to debuffs.

Hardly. Duration was reduced from 3 minutes to 15 seconds. It's an entirely different power.
