I only want to ask one simple question. Who in the names of all gods come with idea to make Kobali crossbow a beam weapon :eek:?

And the old models would be... less bad... were they to dump that 'muzzle crest'.
Reclaim and unique thumbnail would be great, I know so many people just deleted it not knowing what it was. Or even fixing the name to kobali split bolt crossbow.
As for the visuals and effect I like them, though the procs are unimpressive. I like the idea of them, but % and effect both too low.
Some of the background fire on the map make the Kobali look like hilariously bad marksmen, constantly shooting in the air. You may want to address this too. :P
As for the crossbow itself, IMO it needs to be noticeably different from the Vaadwaur bolts. They should be contrast to purple colors and have a sort of beam-arrow effect.
Rapid fire mode = very short bolts
Max dmg mode = long bolt
But NO energy beams, please. Make it somewhat akin to an actual crossbow slinging "energy bolts"
And to echo another comment:
Make it reclaimable/re-acquirable!
Though, the actual split beam rifle mechanics would work well with bolt visuals, given the common trope of loading multiple bolts into a single crossbow for a "spread-shot" effect.
I agree, it is truly unfortunate that we can't reclaim many of the new mission rewards in Delta Rising. Also, the Anti-borg transphasic torpedo from Fluid Dynamics back in Season 9.5 can't be reclaimed either. I'd love nothing more than having an ability to reclaim these mission rewards if I discard them.

Here's an idea - maybe its alt-fire could be a charge-bolt mode in the vein of such weapons seen in Super Metroid and many other games...
my opinion is that it should be a sniper rifle instead, thanks a lot for even considering changing it

Ideal would probably be something chevron/arrow/needle shaped, but even a recolor/tweak of something like Tetryon projectiles would probably work as well.
However please make it be heard among the devs that these unique items (Hierarchy Boff, EMH Mk I, Kobali doff,...) should be 'reclaimable', be it at least lower Mk versions.

Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
Primary fire:
Single energy bolt, similar to sniper rifles.
Secondary fire:
Explosive bolt; fires a physical bolt that deals low damage on impact with target, then after a short delay (0.5 - 1.5 seconds) explodes in a small AOE that damages target more and harms those nearby.
Or:
Secondary fire:
Heavy bolt; fires a single target damaging bolt that knocks back, if the target is pushed back to a object/wall etc they are pined (immobilized) for a few seconds
Then I received the weapon and was quite disappointed to find it was just a regular split beam rifle. Would like it to be a little interesting and still useful.
Also wanting it to be reclaimable and with a unique inventory icon.
And a new icon is sort of a must with the weapon itself looks Nothing like the icon :P, and I agree, being able to Reclaim it would be nice
All you would do is aggro mobs by hitting a single target rather than being able to deal with a mob at a time. As it stands I can ditch my boffs at the city and have fun with it.
It would be cool to see the beams changed to bolts tho.
2. Make its secondary split beam, shoot one bolt to each target, like the spit beam but a single bolt on the same path as the beam would go.
3. Make it re-acquirable, I wanted one with [KB3] but got a different one, my wife got the [KB3]
4. Make the inventory icon unique.
5. Make the bow struts "collapse" when it's on the players back (stabs right threw me ATM)
Other:
Change all the Delta Rising Rep Polaron guns use this model too.
Default Polarons are so freaking ugly!
Add Tetryon Rep guns in DR Rep.
No. A thousand times, no.
If you're going to change the functionality, you need to refund me the upgrade kits and dilithium I spent upgrading it, because the entire reason I'm using it now is because the alt-fire doesn't have the inane firing delays like those stupid sniper rifles.
I have to agree.
As it is a L53 weapon effectively, making it a sniper rifle would render it almost redundent. By that time most have obtained the Maco Battle Rifle and/or TR-116b which are much more effective for sniping than this could ever be as an MK13 Rare.
Keeping it as it is but changing the visuals of the attack would allow us to continue attacking mobs at a time with the current secondary attack.
Sniper sounds cool because of the whole ye olde world crossbow imagary but it's not a true crossbow it's a futuristic energy weapon being used on a battlefiled with large numbers of enemy mobs.
Actually, that's a good idea; it puzzles me why they didn't do this to begin with.
One could argue that they'd be more fittingly placed in the Nukara rep... and share their starship-scaled relatives' 'chain' chance.
On second thought.. I wouldn't care to have a updated Crossbow with a better firing graphic in the LOBI store. I would give 200 LOBI in a heartbeat for a Nice looking crossbow but, not for the same crossbow that the mission reward gave. You know what I mean, something bigger and more epic. Cryptic could even "Klingon it up" by putting a Bat'lith type bayonet on the end of it for melee combat.
The weapon icon shows as a regular Polaron weapon tho I think. It's only when you move the cursor over it and read the description that you see what it is.
As long as this is visual only, I'm fine with it. I'm very happy with the weapon's function right now.
My opinion: (Edit:) Instead, I would like for them to keep the functionality, but change the visuals of the firing. Like someone else said, instead of firing beams, have it fire bolts. (So its primary fire is a single bolt, and its secondary fire shoots several bolts.)
A side suggestion is to make the Kobali stuff all reclaimable, and a set (sort of like the mission Jem-Hadar ground set).
