Galor weapons do less damage than what you probably have

"They are also more accurate and deliver more damage than standard disruptors."

Read that carefully. What was not said is that the Spiral Wave Beam array does less damage than an equivalent purple MK XI array and much less than the increasingly common MK XII purple.

    It's not that bad, but looks like it's essentially a MKX purple weapon for those that are at max level (Accx2 DMGx1 for those that are interested)

    215 Disruptor Damage (172 DPS)
    2.5% chance to disable 1 subsystem
    2.5% chance for 10% damage resistance debuff for 15sec
    +20 Accuracy

    Loose some DPS, but the damage resist debuff plus subsystem proc might make up for it.. idk, that's for math smart people to figure out :)

    Not to bad then, thanks for posting the stats. I never expected they would match MK XII weapons for pure damage output myself.

    This thread at least confirms, aside from the cool factor, the ship is not measuring up to the hype.
    The craptic hype that is...

    i did read this the first time as:

    "They also have a +[ACC] and +[DMG] buff"

    [DMG] sux

    [DMG] only adds 2 DPS, and sometimes not even that,

    also auto scaling weapons do not scale to Mk XI but Mk IX and only when we get promoted after the CAP increase those will go up to Mk XI, but then we will be beyond that point anyway.


    You think it's Mk X now because they scale to Mk IX and have the +[DMG] buff, so they do the same DPS as Mk X. But it's just Mk IX.


    disclaimer: all what i said is judging from the posted stats above.

    PS: i am kinda bummed, why does the Galor get special PewPew's but i have to put boring old default Polaron Beams on my Jem Hadar Bug ?

    Well, you can always hope they put special polaron weapons in as a reward from one of the new featured series episodes. It's a possibility anyway as we will be fighting lots of Dominion ships.

    The best part is the speed & turn rate for a cruiser, and it is good-looking.

    The weapons should probably be stripped off however. Too bad.

    It runs a shield-based defense and is meant for those running higher shield power, i.e. probably not for most science officers.
