Elite Fleet Space Weapons

kjwashingtonkjwashington Member Posts: 2,529 Arc User
Really all that I know about these is that they will be available at tier V Industrial Fabricator, and that they will be phaser (Fed) and disruptor (KDF). Any ideas as to how much they will cost (dilithium and fleet credits)? Also, the elite fleet ground weapons replaced one of the [dmg] with a type of shield heal, what do you think they will replace it with on the space weapons? Any speculation is welcome, or if your fleet has already unlocked them, feel free to share.:)

    No one has unlocked them yet.

    Most likely they will come in all the normal flavors of weapon type, like beam array, DHC, etc, but they will look like this:

    DmgX2, one modifier of Acc/CrtD/CrtH, then a new special modifier which would add a new proc or something or rather like that.
    I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
    I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    there are NO ELITE SPACE WEAPONS...my goodness people, please read the actual text in the tier 5 description...there are elite shields, engines and deflectors..thats it.

    Until you prove me wrong with viable evidence, they do not exist..my fleet is already progressed into tier 5, ive read all the descriptions in what we will unlock at tier 5 and elite fleet weapons are not part of it.

    The description in Industrial fab for tier 5 does not include these rumors, and until I am shown that it does..well its a rumor.

    Thanks

    Elite weapons used to be on the tier 5 list but at some point got lost from the UI, just like Fleet Assault ships which used to be in the list then got removed even though you can still get them..

    Wow. I felt that slap from here. I believe the proper terminology is as follows: PWNED!!!
    It is said the best weapon is one that is never fired. I disagree. The best weapon is one you only have to fire... once. B)

    I already know Starfleet is only getting Phasers for elite fleet; and that makes sense wince it's what starfleet vessels are canonically fitted with.

    Does anyone know if both Quantum and Photon torpedoes will be available in Elite? Both were used in canon, so it would suck if Quantums aren't available (and I'm sure both sides are getting photons).

    Sorry, that is not proof..and even if it is true, phasers only?

    When I see the information listed in the tier 5 tooltip then I will believe it.

    Thanks

    How is it not proof? It's from a Dev.

    Most (if not all) of the torpedoes in STO were seen in canon trek.

    Well, the weapons all came from trek canon, more or less. I am just talking about what Starfleet was seen to use most of the time.

    They had Photons on everything since the founding of the Federation, and around DS9 era, quantum torpedos were invented, and those were seen to be installed on Defiants and Soverigns at the very least, but I think we might have seen them on more ships, that I am just forgetting.

    Tricobalts were explicitly said to be an extremely uncommon type of torpedo, and special mention was paid to Voyager having 2 of these torpedoes (or was it 3) out of a magazine that can hold hundreds of torpedoes. Transphasics were only shown fitted to VOyager alone in the last episode as torpedos from the future; that would lend credence to the idea that Starfleet ships in the current time period STO takes place should have transphasics mounted as standard, but that didn't happen.

    So we can see Starfleet should have access to 4 types of torpedoes, but only 2 of them saw widespread use, so those two should have elite versions at the least.

    Chroniton and plasma torpedoes, were never seen on Starfleet vessels, so there's no real problem with not including them at the Elite level.

    Some people don't accept proof even when its staring at them. A dev has stated that it will be phasers for Elite Fleet Space Weaponry and other energy types will be available through other means. Could it change? Yes, but the dev was going by information he had at the time of the post. If that is not proof, then I might as well disregard all knowledge I have obtained from other sources of authority and start believing that I am the only person on the Star Trek Online forums since I have never personally seen another person post on these forums and all other responses beside my own are merely created by computer programs. I have no PROOF that you are not a computer program since I just assume that every forum post is generated by another person.

    The Lakota had quantum torpedoes when it fought the Defiant.

    I know I'm right, don't bother me with facts.
