I prefer [Pen] over [Over] because [Pen] ignores some of the armor when it procs and allows the weapon to do more damage. [Over] does more damage, but it drains your weapon power when it procs and it will need time to recover. That means your barrage of beam weapons after the [Over] mod has proc'ed will do less damage.

It shouldn't, they removed the weapon power drain long ago....plus pen is a permanent mod while over is a proc.
PEN always, there is no color. Far better and more useful than OVER. OVER has only 1 use, if you dont have beam overload in your ship. Period. And still , replacing a PEN mod for OVER will be stupid to say the least.

Still, I prefer [Pen] especially since it is not a proc.
