After all this time I wouldn't mind seeing phasers getting a bit of love that's accessible to the more casual players outside of fleets, especially with ships like the Galaxy -X, Vestas and Andorian Escorts that all have Phaser related designs.
Actually both the Federation and the Klingons need better REP systems enhancing rather than them having to hybridize their technology.
If something is not broken, don't fix it, if it is broken, don't leave it broken.
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. >snip<
Please Cryptic, give phasers the love they need.
I whole heartedly agree with this. We need a two-piece phaser improvement set. Please!

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.
The idea that there is no set bonus for phasers because the Kumari and Galaxy Dreadnought would be overpowered is ridiculous. With a 3 minute cooldown, the Galaxy Dreadnought's lance is a gimmick weapon at best. And by your logic, the Kumari just got a huge overpowered boost when CRTH tac consoles were introduced. That boost to crit chance is a far greater bonus to the Kumari than another 8 or 10% extra damage from a space set.
And I can't believe this has to be repeated again: Cryptic does not factor in PvP when they introduce new ships and items and weapons. Cryptic does not care about PvP. The vast majority of players do not care about PvP. Your PvP fears about a new phaser boosting space set are irrelevant to Cryptic's decision about whether or not to add one.

You mean like the "Buff plasma" sets buff all the romulan special weapons relying on plasma?
Unlike BOTH the weapons you mentioned those are actually usefull in the first place.
The phaser lance was never anything but a joke and the kumari wing cannons... well... for themselves they are not better then any other normal weapon.
okay now serious, i think phasers need some love. the proc is bull****, cause everyone has at least double resist against offline proc and now its 2 seconds. its good for nothing. (2sec arent enough for a torpedo bypass shields, 2 seconds engine offline is 2-3 sec reduced defense, thats 2 hits with a 1% chance more crit, weapons okay, can seriously end some superpower, aux? wtf aux ...)
i only use phasers becasue phaser defense turret is buffed by it using phaser consoles.
but i cant think of anything we dont have yet. maybe protonic phasers. blue beam, 2.5% bonus dmg on top as protonic, bleedthrough, resistless dmg each shot.
or hmmm, maybe hm really i cant come up with sth new. basically phasers mean to have achance to get partly dmg through shields, because they phase their modulation, random chance of hitting the correct frequency to bypass shields. and they do that, they were just nerfed by buffing resists to drains.
or maybe they could get a boost to acc against small targets by 20%. sth like that donno.
basically phasers are just to stupid against npc. getting hit by them as a player can be very frustrationg though ;-)
