Omega Torp charges question

hcgxkaliber

I have just got my rommie a Omega Torp, it seems that it wont use any charges when I used High Yield III or Spread II.

Is it normal? cuz on the weapons window, it is always telling me that I have 5 charges.

ps, what are those charges for anyway?

pps, it sucked bad on my fleet assault warbird, the torps fly too slow for all the endgame targets. ( except for the borg gates)

what torp should I use on my tac warbird? ( I don't do PVPs)

Basically, you can only fire off 5 torpedoes at a given time. Don't fret though, you have infinate torpedoes but remember, you can only fire off 5 at a time. As for the use of High Yield not using up a charge, I can be only slightly sure that that's a bug and not "working as intended", but I could be wrong. And as for what torpedo you should use for your tac warbird? I dunno, try quantums? Don't like em? use plasma. Try out what works for you, but best keep damage types uniform.

when I attack normally with this torpedo launcher, it wont fire 5 torpedoes at once.
It just fires 1 of every 2 seconds and it wont use any charges too.

that's why I'm confused about this charges feature on this launcher.

I have 4 active torpedo space duty officers, maybe they reset the torp cooldown timer that caused the bug so the launcher wont count the charges. cuz I have no idea wtf is going on.

number of omega torps in magazine vever go below 5 for unknown reason. Maybe it is just an icon bug.

The way it worked before LoR: you can fire the torpedo every 1.0 seconds, but each reload takes 1.3 seconds (not exact numbers). You have 5 torpedoes slotted at the beginning, and you draw off that pile when firing, and the system adds to that pile after reloading. If you set it to auto-fire, the cushion will run dry as soon as the 5 charges are consumed, but if you manually fire it then you can keep a cushion and fire it forever.

Since LoR, the charges arent being consumed and the cushion stays at 5. You can fire as fast as you want and never run out.

Maybe if this torp is so buggy, developers should give it cooldown separate from other torpedo types.
