Does [Over] count as BO?

Quick question. 
Does that boff for 35% chance of shield penetration bypass, upon BO, also trigger on the [Over] mod?
And related to that, is Surgical Strikes also an 'other attack' for said boff?
Thanks.

If [Over] did trigger it, that would require some coding etc..
Would be nice to get an answer though. There's been a few in our fleet asking about this.
[over] works funny. I built a set of 5 DBBS with the proc just to test it and here is what I know:
- if they proc, my overload 3 is disabled for about 3-5 seconds of cooldown.
- however if I use my BO3, I can get a proc immediately after it.
- the combat log states "your beam overload 1 hit for blah blah" .. I do not have a BO1, that is the PROC.
- BO has a weird chargeup. If for example it procs in the middle of a FAW spam cycle, everything seems to stop shooting, then BOOM, then shooting resumes. I have not been able to pinpoint if it ENDS FAW or just interrupts one weapons cycle.
- I am *fairly* sure it can happen during romulan overcharge buff which normally disables weapon based tac officer skills.
- It can proc back to back. Coupled with the observation above, I have to assert that it is NOT affected by BO cooldown, but it SETS the BO cooldown.
- it is a wasted weapon proc. It is too erratic and infrequent to justify; most ships would be better off just using the BO1 skill on an officer, you would get more overloads that way. It only really shines when you get back to back procs, which is uncommon. Worse, it messes up FAW. It is worth having on a ship that LACKS the tactical seats to slot skills. Which is why i made the set ... I have a ship with 3 tac slots (TT1 FAW FAW) so the proc is NICE for that type of ship!
I'd love to know if it triggers "Overwhelming Force"... might be cool to have your shots do CPBs...
well I actually AM a KDF player mostly, and I actually have tested it on a MH raptor
IT does indeed trigger the aoe bomb. However I am grossly underwhelmed by the effect .... on a tac ship with no partgen or whatever it is that feeds the skill, it does not seem to do a thing except look pretty.
These are my only XIV weapons so far. Being crafted and account bound.... Pay once, use on 10 toons
Thank you for the detailed explanation.
Thanks for this. I can tell you that with my partgen-heavy KDFs, I too am quite underwhelmed with Overwhelming Force's Charged Particle Burst.
More than that, though, I am VERY annoyed with it's Photonic Shockwave... it applies to pets, so your Karfi Frigates and Elite Scorpions, both of which spam High Yield Torp, are always knocking the enemy around... especially the Karfi's frigs with the Tricobalt... it'll knock all the enemy 3-5 KM out of my grav well, then the grav well will suck them back... looks cool but i think a net loss of DPS for them being away from the epicenter for 2-3 seconds.
*Note* looks like Overwhelming Force doesn't apply to pet BO though... can't get the Obelisk Swarmers to proc it.
That said I guess they could have great utility on ships without room for beam skills.
I dunnp how it interacts with doffs or traits Im afraid. I would think it triggers em but cant confirm it.
Then please fill out my dissertation survey on feline attachment, it'd be a massive help (-:

I am still not sure about the FAW interaction. I am almost convinced that if BO procs on the beams during FAW, it *overwrites* FAW, stopping it immediately and firing the BO shot.
But I can't prove it!
