Omni beam array mod preference

Hi,

Just wondered on what peoples thoughts were on which mod grants better dps when using Omni beam array's

[Pen], [Over] or other?

I notice [pen] are cheaper on exchange than [over], Based on this, I assume [over] is more sought after?

Thanks :smile:

    Not really...pen is a higher rated stat than over.

    Depends on what you prefer.

    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.

    Ahh.... I must have missed the patch notes regarding [Over]....

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