Heavy turrets with undine rep, what's next?

ufpterrellufpterrell Member Posts: 736 Arc User
Just saw that we will be getting a heavy turret of sorts, slower firing rate but higher damage per shot aka DHC's. Now, as a long time galaxy fan I ask you cryptic... when will we see heavy beam arrays? After the fail that was the galaxy reboot, I think it's the least you can do for us! I want to hear that classic charge up before blowing my enemies to bits, not the little farty pew pew pew phasers we have right now ;).

    Well considering every DPS record in PVE was with beam arrays and spamming BFAW, this is a very welcoming piece of gear.
    And you are welcome to slot it on you Gal-X :rolleyes:

    So basically cryptics answer to the power creep is...stronger than ever rep weapons... makes total sense

    Feasible since DS9 has rotary photon launchers.

    I don't really see the problem. Heavy weapons tend to have the same dps as their standard versions they just fire fewer and more powerful shots.

    Actually i want to see those turrets. I imagine cryptic is going to increase the size of the turret projectiles and to change the sound. Oh wait.. i hope they will.. or they will just change the fire rate and damage and thats it?? :eek:

    I want beam turrets :( Plain, ordinary turrets that fire short, rapid beams and are identical to cannon turrets. For some players that would for some reason mean DOOOOOOM, but I never got why they weren't in the game. Oh, and I'm all for heavy beam arrays as well. Before you cry DOOOOM once again, maybe it's time that Cryptic fixes some of the broken game mechanics instead of releasing more and more power creep. Oh wait, that would mean "nerf" and narfing is, well... DOOOOM!

    If they came in Plasma I would get one for my ship. Limited to phaser and disruptor makes them a no go..

    Ditto. I'll get one for my Lethean's Tor'Kaht, but I use antipro on my Fed and Romplas on my Rom.

    TurreT (can equip max one)

    I don't really see the problem. Heavy weapons tend to have the same dps as their standard versions they just fire fewer and more powerful shots.

    More DPV he? Plus 4 procs. All what i ever wanted from turret.

    SPOILER ALERT

    We can only dream

    I longed for the day when we could equip Beams on an Escort or any ship for that matter and not be useless in game and have a Canon Federation Escort such as the Akira or the Prometheus that in the series used beams instead of duck taping Dual Heavy Cannons to the hull.
    It's only a matter of time until the Power creep is nerfed and Dual Heavy Cannons will rule once again and beams like always will be a joke.
