Antiproton Matter Conversion Beam?

So what does this weapon from the new event do? We aren't being told anything useful about how it might be different than a standard antiproton weapon. Does it coordinate with the console from the earlier event?

It might not.
We won't really get any details until someone gets it and posts the details. Kinda the same deal its always been.
Just glad to see the event back. Was worried it wouldn't because of how people can steamroll it these days.
It is just a matter of what could they do for set bonuses, that would be interesting, and fun matching the theme of the event an items.
Yeah the prolonged engagement set that includes the prolonged engagement phaser weapon alongside the prolonged engagement console, which came from weekend events.
Fake News!
Apparently we had the same brainwave (reference), which is by no means a bad thing. In response to such, kaggert27 suggested as an alternative a new console which would summon them in the vein of bio-neural warheads.
not part of a set
but they can be re-engineered
Ugh...
Interesting, that looks like antiproton + disruptor proc. It'd go great on my T6 Tac Oddy.

First we get Coalition Disruptors, then we get Pulse Phasers which debuff and buff, and now these lol
Can we get some DS9 Klingon Disruptors then...since they had such epic sound effects!
And on top of that, you'll completely lose AP's special non-proc +crtd on those new weps. Not worth using, unless you like color or something.

If I, for some reason, would start to make a new AP build I might be using this. But I would certainly not do so because of this weapon nor do I think I’ll bother with it on the two AP builds I have.
In a time where cryptic fully acknowledges the superiority of spiral waves (in light of the costs) good procs alone have lost their meaning.

Probably closest is probably Herald Anti-Proton for beams, which has a purple hue (though the crystal one more blue).
I don't see it mentioned, but can there be multiple equipped on a ship?
Still hoping for a set bonus in the future with other CE event reward from the past.
Unfortunately, it says right in the description that the limit is 1 per ship. Not sure why, not like these things are super powerful.. guess they don't want you to be able to get a completely free full set of Mark XII beams?
Was looking for that yet somehow totally missed it.
Grinding for 14 days = "completely free"?

Not completely free in that we invest a bit of time every 20 hours to 'earn' it.
Once completed.. yeah.
They aren't great beams, their main use would be for an alt that you were leveling, so allowing you to just claim 8 of them would be nice. I am not surprised they don't allow it though.
They are however, ok with offering beams as mission rewards.. apparently playing one mission 8 times is somehow better then doing an event for 2 weeks and then claiming 8 weapons. I dunno man.. 'cyrptic logic.'

It won't even let you claim multiple, as the box it comes from greys out from the Dil store as soon as you have that type of weapon. Best you can do is one beam array and one DHC.
It comes out as Mk XIII actually, which is at least decent for a budget build with the extra boost in damage from being Mk XIII instead of XII being pretty decent.
