Photon Torpedo Point Defense Console

coffeemike

I have a random set of questions:

Does the Photon Torp Point Defense Console from the Armitage Class get enhanced with:
1) The 3 pcs. Protonic Arsenal set
2) The Counter Command Multi Relay Energy console
3) The 2 pcs bonus to the Adapted MACO set for Fed toons

thibash

Yes to all.

Now if only there were a way to get it without being with Fed...

and the lobi console 11%iirc

which brings the question: How do they calculate the bonuses?
lets take the gravimetric photon as the example
it produces 3081.3 damage.
the A.M.A.C.O 2 pc =25%
the Protonic arsenal =22.9%
the M-E Relay is 26.2%
and the lobi console is 11%

so is that torpedo now doing 9930.98 damage, 3081.3 +(25% +26.2% +11% +22.9%=85.1%)

or is it doing 3786.84 damage, 3081.3 +25% +3081.3 +26.2% +3081.3 +11% +3081.3 +22.9% /4?

Wow. That's pretty neat.

I would say the latter of 3786.84, as I use everything you listed minus the lobi console, and with max skills in torpedo damage, I show a combined result of just over 5k range, when all is done and said.

While this may seem like not much of a gain, for so many consoles being used, you also have to remember that the CRTH/CRTD is increased, mostly the CRTH giving good results IMHO.

A truly dedicated Photon build can do wonders now. In between all the Photon & Projectile related boosts, you can cause some serious ****.

I don't even care about shields, because raw power will overwhelm it.

The best part is that to be effective with Photons, you don't need a massive TAC heavy ship. Escorts, Cruisers, and even Science ships can reap a lot of rewards from Photons. Hell, a Science ship with the Dyson Grav Torp and a proper build to support that can do some awesome work.

Yeah I am currently running a moderate photon torpedo ship, using both the bio-torpedo, and the grav torpedo, and while both deliver awesome performance, I still tend to favor the grav torpedo, as it seems to deliver the most punch when critting, however the bio-torp seems to be the more consistent dps delivery IMO.

is that total damage from a parse? or what is getting through the shields? I'm still not certain that the photons are doing enough damage. it would have to be double that of the transphasics just to be marginally better.

Granted the gravimetric has a lot more going on. and I do not know much about the bios. maybe an aoe is the tipping point.

AND it has everything to do with however the bonuses are worked.
