What happened to Rotating Weapon Frequency?

It was a trait that was unlocked as part of the Omega reputation. Significantly slowed down the rate at which Borg adapted to your energy weapons. I don't see it anymore, and without this trait, anything other than swords and explosives is a waste of time against the Borg. Even the Integral Remodulator you get as a set bonus for (very expensive) anti-borg ground sets cannot possibly keep up with how fast they adapt.

I still wonder why they haven't introduced AK-s and ammo weapons against the Borg, it seems to work.
Know the difference
It could save your life...
They did? When was it re-added?
It never went away on holodeck. They took it away on tribble for about a week before adding it back in.
Yeah
And didn't Tuvok invent an Integral Frequency Modulator for Phaser Rifles?, that instantly and constantly remodulated the weapon?
And why Anti-Proton weapons? Wouldn't the Protonic Polaron Weapons seem more appropriate against the Borg? A weapon power drain seems like a better solution against Borg, and the Proton damage is pure Kinetic, so they can't adapt to it ...
Or is this just another example of Cryptic being to lazy to actually think things through properly?
Because then they'd adapt their own bodies by adding more armor and using harder metal in their implants.
Imagine a Borg "Tank".

But we can mass produce ENTIRE STARSHIPS!?!? Please come up with something better than that ... seriously
...
No it's not the Omega Set Bonus, the Remodulator invented on Voyager did not require manual activation, and surely the technology exists in the 25th Century to have an Automatic Remodulator?
...
But it does nothing extra to any species, and the Borg adapt to it just as easily as they adapt to Phaser's or Disruptor's
Isn't it the ENTIRE PREMISE of the Omega Force (and MACO/KHG) to use the Best and Latest Technologies to combat the Borg Threat? So wouldn't that mean that they SHOULD be using Protonic Polaron now?
So it still looks like laziness from Cryptic to me ...
I'm using Nukara stuff against the Borg and Voth.
Dude had a point. Picard did reproduce an effective Tommy by removing the safety. Then there was the one historian who go shot in that film noir setting.
As for why nobody is cranking out AKs to fight the Borg, there is no logical reason. Lack of mass production is a pathetic attempt to rationalize this obvious oversight, in a canon where people can casually create fully functional deadly weapons in a holodeck and turn anything in the computer's memory into a non-photonic object via the replicators. If you can run off a trombone or a freaking SENSOR PROBE on a whim, then you can create a firearm consisting of fewer than a dozen parts and some very basic chemistry.
For that matter since it's not the firearm that's doing the damage but rather the chunk of metal is throws at high speed, why isn't everybody using railguns, which are a suitably space-techy way to accomplish the same exact thing.
Origin story right there, somebody call Braga, case closed.
You can't pick and choose between in game/Rea Life and lore/canon and not ...
Creating a projectile based weapon is as simple as asking the computer to replicate one.
And if the Borg are supposedly gone or beaten, then why is there still Borg in the game? Why are there Red Alerts? Why is there a main Story Arc at end game concerning them? Why is there even still an Omega Rep?
On the subject of the Remodualtor, you may be partially correct, as I believe, thinking back, that it was part of the "Elite Forces" game ... However, it still begs the question, why haven't the scientists in the 25th century come up with one anyway?
Sorry but you're wrong. The gun was not replicated. It was a photonic weapon that shot photonic projectiles. True projectile weapons have never been seen in use against the Borg.
and can't you make a kinetic ground weapon now?
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
I prefer to break their necks off with sheer strength.
Well, that is also just kind of it, that weapon was in the Elite Force games. So STO couldn't use it, and thus for all intents and purposes, it never happened.
Also the weapon you are thinking of is the 'I-Mod'.
