So wiki doesn't seem to be as detailed as I was looking for. Does any have a good reference for detailed information on the photon launcher point of defense console?
can you use it on any ship?
what does it do and what consoles and buffs should you use with it
targets up to 8 enemies in a 10km sphere, and shoots 6 photon torpedoes each at them doing 1,318 kinetic damage per torpedo. its boosted by photon torpedoes as well as anything that boosts kinetic damage
Once every 4 mins (on demand/Clickable skill), it will toss out around 40'ish (depending on current enemy count within 10 km of you) Photon Torps in a 360 degree angle, around your ship, hitting all targets.
Works extremely well in Fleet base defence, KA, Infected as well as other situation where you are faced with numerous enemies.
When combined with BFaW or Cannon Scatter Volley, as well as the point defence turret from the Thunderchild, it turns into a ship removal console.
Downside, as already mentioned, it is only mountable on Escort carrier variants.
Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
It's rather smashing when you go for massive AOE. CSV, TS, phaser point defense and photon point defense.... oh my! Add in APB as well and you've got screenwipe on your hands in fleet actions and what not.
The photon point defence is nice, granted, but it have some cd, and you'll grab a lot of unwanted aggro. Also, as with any torp, the damage are bad against shield.
Fun, yes. Effective ? Not so sure.

Is it effectived by torpedo high yield or torpedo spread?
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.
It's an amazing high burst weapon in a panic situation or when you really, really just don't like your target, I built my HEC as a torp boat using photons and it's a frightening sight to see TS 2&3 chained(have to love the ability to preload spreads or high yeilds) with the console going off at the same time(I mixed in the phaser console to it once very effective combination)
One note though for a torp build, use photons their consoles stack with the point defense console and their reload rate is best suited for it
"Photon Torpedo Point Defense System" doesn't have quite enough zing, IMHO... so on my Armitage, I refer to it as TORPEDO JUSTICE. It's really fun in Mirror Universe incursions.

Consoles that boost torpedo or kinetic damage will improve it's damage.

Its kinda like a powerful 360 degree photon torpedo spread.

Thats a no... As it pr-default uses torpedo spread, I am somewhat sure it would become OP if it was Torpedo-spread-spread ^^
It's amazing to watch.

It's look really cool at least.
