I recently got one out of a Temporal Lockbox. well had 3, sold the other 2 and unpacked one for myself. I never used one before and Only ever seen it used by NPC's.
The char I gave it to is A tac officer running the Mobius Destroyer and i only play this char with a couple of friends. Does anything boost its damage? Do any Doff's affect it? Is it actually worth having or did I TRIBBLE myself out of a half mil EC?

It does get effected by buffs, sit in an open map and check the damage on the tool tip, then buff up and check it out again.
Its a nice console to use against carriers, usually makes the fighters pop all around it haha.
1. It is buffed by Particle Generators, to the point that a respec to do so is good if you use it. In fact, from having no points to max points will double the base damage, although 6 points will work as well. It is buffed by deflectors and consoles that boost Particle Generators.
2. It never misses. The only way not to get hit by it, is to be outside the 5 km 'jumping' range it has.
3. It is electrical damage, something very hard to resist without buffs.
4. It gains strength with each hit, finishing with an AoE hit (I believe roughly 1 km, like a tricobalt torpedo).
5. It's affected by tactical buffs, and by extension, any debuffs the enemy has.
6. It can still get a critical hit (I've seen the final hit get into the 6-digit area several times before)
3 and 4 i knew just by looking at the tooltips, as as far as i know theres no way to specifically resist electricity you can only do so with general damage resistance buffs... 5 i kind of figured, but without any points in particle generators i guess it's just really hard to notice the increase from the boosters since its not a large number increase.
as for the consoles i might have to sacrifice those, as my ships rather squeezed for consoles, are there any space sets that boost Particle Generators in the Deflector?
I thought they might crit, but was unsure about that. thouh i'll have to remember the 5km limit to jumps to get the best effect out of it.
unfortunately i havent found the wells class yet. I run the Mobius destroyer, so i wouldnt beable to get that much out of it. but yes, a ship specced for it would likely be a beast once you get the timing down for when to fire it for optimal effect (all 4 targets)
I am running about 117 and 116 in particle and graviton with omega mk12 and assimilated console!
Well, don't feel like it's necessary to use particle gen consoles, I just wanted to mention it.
And so far as I know, Honor Guard and Omega Force Deflectors both give Particle Gens. However, any generic Tachyon Deflector (I think tachyon) will also buff Particle gens. If not, than maybe Graviton ones.
Gravity wells are your friend with it though, because there's no worry since everything will be bunched up. And on top of that, it can still jump from a dead (but unexploded) ship. 5 km is also good to keep in mind if going against Klingon NPCs, because any Negh'vars you fight can use it as well.
Anyways, yes, I have seen it critical, and no, no screenshots. But it can get up that high some times.
Oh yes, something I forgot earlier, for Klingon players, is that if you use Plasmonic leech, use Iso will make Leech work as well.
