Special Consoles Attacks w/ +Damage Tac Consoles

I've read in many places that +Damage Tactical consoles affect your weapons, and that makes perfect sense to phrase it that way, since most of the damage that would be relevent would come from weapons anyway.

My question is, would +Damage Tactical Consoles affect the damage from things like the Nadion Saturation Bomb console? Phaser Relays specifically.

I'd like to use one of those, but I'm already fairly invested in gear into dealing Disruptor damage, and if I'm missing out in over half the potential damage of the Nadion Saturation Bomb by not using +Phaser damage, I won't even consider investing into getting the console.

Thanks!

    Nadion Saturation Bomb is definitely affected by phaser tac consoles. The fixed Aft Tail Gun is also phaser. So going a full phaser build will get you the most damage out of both of those.

    Phasers are a way to get a beam-boat; which entitles targeting sideways with a mild turn now and then to toss a torpedo in the mix now and then. Also not leading towards the highest damage possible but a great path to being a shield destroyer; more so than most damage types (Tetryon beams) So at least mix up different types if you are thinking all beams. I used to live by this, but then found out the path to ridiculously higher damage possible.
