For the love of Phasers, please make the Undine rep rewards boost them.

The Dyson reputation system doesn't produce Voth antiproton weapons for players, so please Cryptic, don't make the Undine rep reward us with Antiproton. Give us phasers. Give us a space set that boosts Phaser damage.

Every other damage type has a space set that boosts it. There are so many different types of disruptor that it's ridiculous.

We have:
Polarized Disruptors
Nanite Disruptors
Elachi Crescent Disruptors
Spiral Wave Disruptors
Plasma Disruptors
Elite Fleet Disruptors

Elachi Space Set

We also have:
Piercing Tetryon
Refracting Tetryon
Destabilizing Tetryon
Polarized Tetryon
Fleet Tetryon

Tholian Space Set
Hirogen Space Set

And:
Dominion Polaron
Phased Polaron
Protonic Polaron
Fleet Polaron

Jem-Hadar Space Set

Not to mention:
Romulan Plasma
Caustic Plasma
Fleet Plasma

Singularity Harness
Embassy Consoles

And Finally:
Voth Antiproton
Fleet Antiproton
Chroniton beam bank.
360 degree Antiproton

Obelisk Space Set


What do we have for Phasers?
Elite Fleet Phasers
Retrofit Phasers (that do absolutely nothing special)


Please Cryptic, give phasers the love they need.

    Well from what I have seen from the rep itself you can pull a disruptor and a phaser turret for the set. So it MIGHT reward Disruptors and Phasers. Or may be Disruptors for KDF and Phaser for fed?

    Just worried for my plasma addicted romulans...

    Yeah I use phasers for Feds, Disruptors for Klings and Plasma for rumulans.

    I thing I stucked the purple polaron weapons from the rep on my Breen ships though...

    Rumor has it there are phaser weapons for feds via the Undine rep. Not sure if it's just ground or for space too.

    From some of the leaked info I've read we're getting more anti-proton.

    Yippie... -_-

    In fairness to your list though those Phased X could be said to be phasers, but naturally the damage type is not phaser based.

    We're getting bio-molecular weaponry through the rep system. Will it be phasers for Feds and disruptors for KDF?

    Sounds like it. Chances are that there will be some Undine Space set released from the Lockbox and the same type of stuff as the Dyson Reputation so a space weapon set, space set, ground set, and Kit Modules that are oriented towards defeating Undine and dealing with Fluidic Space.

    Why don't we just have a project for the M.A.C.O. space set that retrofits it to add extra phaser damage and for the Honor Guard to have added disruptor damage.

    Someone has probably said it before, but I'll throw it back out just because.

    plasma phasers would be a sweet addition imo. or a phaser that has something similar to the nanite disruptor.

    They also need to add rare Phaser DHCs and turrets to the mission rewards. There are rare plasma and disruptor weapons, but no rare Phaser weapons outside the Beam arrays.

    Not sure how that would change things, but whatever floats your boat I guess.

    A new phaser based weapon as well as a phaser damage boosting space set? I totally agree. That would be great.

    Wonder if the Anti-Undine weapon set will actually be two different sets. One with a Buff Phaser set bonus and one with a Buff Disruptor set bonus since the rumor is that each of the energy weapons in the Anti-Undine Reputation has a Phaser and Disruptor type. I would assume that Starfleet is limited to Phaser weaponry and KDF is limited to Disruptor weaponry.

    I hope they put in an 'adapted' version of these weapons so feds could get the disruptors and the kdf can get phasers.

    I hope they'll introduce a 360 degree phaser/distruptor beam. The only reason one of my toons is using antiproton weapons is because of the obelisk set that allows a 360 degree beam.

    They should make beam turrets of any kind and let us use more than 1 per ship to make dbb builds more viable.

    And i agree we need more phaser dmg based weapon types.

    IF, and i repeat IF, the Undine reputation will add some phaser then it will most likely be nanite phasers.

    In the Voyager episodes their phasers were enhanced to distribute the anti-8472 nanoprobes so nanite-phasers would make the most sense.

    Having said that, i would welcome a general boost to phasers and the addition of "plasma phasers".
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Romulan plasma is fine in this state imho. I use romulan plasma on my tactical Odyssey and it is more than ok. Plasma + disruptor damage, singularity harness boosts the plasma weapons... and embassy science consoles also boosting plasma damage. As I know this is the only damage type which is boosted by science consoles...

    Because not everybody uses ONLY the MACO set??? And honestly, a lot of people dont play the game to have the best of the best, just for having fun.

    Improvements on phasers should be made in regular weapons, or new brand ones, but not mixing em in an existing reputation project. That will be an epic failure. I will never undertand why phasers are so forgotten, but well l, with cryptic nothing has a real coherent explanation.

    I'm all for special phaser damage boosts. Starfleet uses phasers, and STO should strive for more canon, not less.

    All i can say is wow. I really never knew it was that bad. But you know its fits to what cryptic has been doing to this game when it comes to canon Fed equipment. If they didn't make it up they ignore it. Phaser weapons are the most iconic things in Star Trek lore. This is really just stupid and sad. The devs in this game really make me want smash something. Are they really this blind to phasers? They buff up every other weapon type and ignore the most famous weapons of Star Trek. I just don't get it. And forget Undine rep only buff for them,They should just flat out get a buff before s9 even comes out.

    i was personally really happy when antiproton became the most powerful, seeing as how when i first joined 3 years ago, i went full antiproton, even going into crit stuff. i was really happy when i finally got a set bonus for my favorite set after years of waiting.
    i do understand why phaser needs a set, i agree. i'd just be sad if everything got another set bonus aside from antiproton again :< i waiting a long time for my riegn of terror to come, and now that it's here, you phaser people can all go PvP and show yourselves how much the phasers dont really need a set bonus!

    just remember why there hasnt been a set bonus: buff phasers, you also increase the damage of the kunari's wing cannon attacks, the galaxy's lance, and anything else that is a console and uses phaser. its something they gotta be careful of. considering someone that really knows how to build and fly a kunari can 1 shot most escorts in PVP. as a tanky escort, i've gotten dropped to 10% from a single kunari class that knew what he was doing. i shudder to think of what a buff to phasers could do to such burst builds.
