Phaser, Disruptor, Antiproton set boosts?

seitei1

6 base energy types for weapons. Phaser, Disruptor, Plasma, Tetryon, Polaron, Antiproton.

Of these, Plasma, Tetryon, and Polaron have set bonuses pushing their damage just that little bit further than most. (Plasma has another booster besides this, but that's something else entirely).

Do you think there's a chance we'll see set boosts to damage for the other types? It's kinda...awkward, I guess.

I believe I've heard this mentioned in relation to the quietly rumoured faction sets... Although I still have no idea where I heard about those. (could have been a dream for all I know :S)

i.e.
Fed get a Feddy end game set with phaser boosts and special end-game phasers.
KDF get a KDFy eng game set with disruptor boosts and special end-game disruptors.

As for Antiproton? I could care less, but not much.

+7.6% damage...console-like mod.

It's equivalent to having an additional rare Mk I Tac console. (That's not a typo...Mk I, Mk 1, Mk One.)

Before Weapon Power:
DHCs - +13.05 DPV / +8.7 DPS
DCs - +6.525 DPV / +8.7 DPS
Cannons - +5.025 DPV / +6.7 DPS
Turrets - +3.375 DPV / +4.5 DPS
Arrays - +7.5 DPV / + 6.0 DPS
Banks - +9.75 DPV / +7.8 DPS

@125 Weapon Power:
DHCs - +32.625 DPV / +21.75 DPS
DCs - +16.3125 DPV / +21.75 DPS
Cannons - +12.5625 DPV / +16.75 DPS
Turrets - +8.4375 DPV / +11.25 DPS
Arrays - +18.75 DPV / +15 DPS
Banks - +24.375 DPV / +19.5 DPS

@125 Weapon Power, Ignoring Drain, +25% APO3, +50% APA3, +25% Ambush, +100% Crit Severity[:/U]
DHCs - +143.55 DPV / +95.7 DPS (DHCs have +10% Crit Severity)
DCs - +65.25 DPV / +87 DPS
Cannons - +50.25 DPV / +67 DPS
Turrets - +33.75 DPV / +45 DPS
Arrays - +75 DPV / +60 DPS
Banks - +97.5 DPV / +78 DPS

So, ignoring drain - somebody with 4x DHCs fore and 3x Turrets aft with the +7.6% would do the following compared to the person without:

@125 Weapon Power: +159.8125 DPV / +120.75 DPS
@125 Weapon Power, +25% APO3, +50% APA3, +25% Ambush, +100% Crit Severity: +675.45 DPV / +517.8 DPS
(DHCs have +10% Crit Severity)

The +25% for Torps from KHG on the other hand, is equivalent to a Mk 14.5 Warhead console. If the Tet, Pol, Plas followed the same math (generics do ~67% of specifics) - they'd be +37.5% instead of +7.6%. If that were the case, then yeah...think lots of folks would be pushing for AP, Phaser, Disruptor sets. It's not though...it's just the +7.6%...

I think I remember that, wasn't that in regard to some Neutral Zone or Warzone type of rep thing they'd mentioned? A means for Feds to get Fed Rep and KDF to get KDF Rep? So it would be something akin to the Rom sets.

As for AP, there are still rumors about what's going on with the Undine - there could be a set related to the Undine for AP.

Tada, rumors cover the remaining three, right?

edit: The weapons for Rom, Fed, and KDF already exist - though, spread out between Rep and Fleet. Tet's over in Rep as well.

Hrmm, what are we sporting out there...
