Polaron Energy Weapons are pretty Sweet

Greetings All,

At the suggestion of a Fleet Mate I decided to drop Disruptor Energy type from my Power Drain Vo'Quv build and go with full Polaron Energy Weapons.

I picked up 4 x Fleet Polaron Beam Arrays Dam x3 CrtH and 1 Dual Polaron Beam Bank Dam x3 CrtH

I upgraded my unused Jem'Hardar Space set to MK XII and picked up Two Rare Mk XII Tactical Polaron Consoles off the Exchange for about 800k each.

Since making the switch I've noticed that I have been putting out much better DPS and my power draining has been a lot more effective.

All in all Polaron Energy type seems to be a pretty low cost investment that offers huge returns.

It also seems to me that Polaron Energy can be boosted above and beyond the levels of what all the other types can thanks to the 13.1% increase they get from the MK XII Jem Space Set (that should have been a Craftable Upgrade and not a Lobi store purchase)

Has anyone else made the switch to Polarons and if so are you enjoying the results?

Thanks for your time!

    Polarons are sweet. Stick them on an Andorian ship with 4x -Th flow cap consoles, maxed flow cap skill and you're laughing.

    I run them on a KDF flying the JHEC, and its pretty awesome. It plays nicely with plasmonic leech, giving extra drain, and flow caps buff plasmonic leech too.

    I run Polarized Disruptor's on a Breen Cruiser. I've got for a power drain warfare build, and I was able to shut down a Unimatrix earlier.
    :cool:

    Sounds nice! I did a search but could not find an example of such a build. Can you please share/direct me to your build? Thanks!

    If they didn't sound like cheap plastic cans, I would consider using them. But so ...
    No way.

    Just stick everything you can with a - Power setting into a ship and point it at target. KDF get more than Feds do. So a Breen cruiser on the KDF side is really needed.

    Earn a Mk Xl set and then go to the lobi store and you can turn in three MK Xls (and some Lobi) for a whole new Mk Xll set.

    You can buy the upgrade in the Lobi store, you'll need 200 Lobi and the Jem'Hadar Mk XI Space set.

    As a proud flyer and fan of dominion ships.... All I can say about my Fleet DHC Polarons is....... "HELL YA NI**A!!!!"

    Just point at your target, and before you pull trigger you say "HAN JI BA"
