Is OW limited to player Overload?
Is SWI Overload able to trigger CA?

Coordinated Assault does not proc from SWI.
Coordinated Assault also does not proc Overwhelming, nor does it trigger on [OVER] procs.
CA does trigger on a player's BO activation.
Overwhelming procs on Player BO, SWI BO and [OVER] BO.
The Particle charge does not deliver doff effects that are activated via particle charge. However, they do trigger the shield bypass proc.
For fun abuse:
Overwhelming's photonic shockwave triggers everytime your torpedo salvo hits.
Concentrated firepower (command boff skill) lets you chain rattle High yields.
Best of all: Overwhelming's effect triggers on every target hit by that high yield. So if you had a torpedo that dealt large area damage... like. .say.... the undine rep photon or the neutronic qantum...
you could spam photonic shockwaves like a cackling madman. Since CE does reset cooldowns... having your neutronic or undine torp just spam HY... is fun to watch.
For pure single target bombardment... try 7 OVER Beam arrays and a wide angle torpedo combined with concentrate firepower...
Can the Photonic Shockwaves/Charged Particle Bursts crit under the Particle Manupulator R&D trait? (I doubt the Charged Particle Bursts would since it's a drain not damage... figured I'd ask anyway)
Will Inhibiting Secondary Deflectors proc off of Overwhelming Force's Photonic Shockwaves?
Edit: Will Deteriorating Secondary Deflectors proc off of Overwhelming Force's Charged Particle Bursts?
Also, the "Photonic Shockwave" effect from High Yield Torpedo use had an interesting effect that's the same as the PSW ability. It knocks targets around in every compass direction for several kilometers. That is caused by Graviton Generator Skill. The higher the bigger a knockback effect. Not sure if Aux Power plays a role. But Particle Generator determines damage. Anyways, people really need to know the finer points of PSW/Overwhelming Force + HYT. Having NPCs bunched up by my Grav Well for easier killing, only for them to be scattered 5-8km away in every direction is really damn annoying.
Also, last time I used Overwhelming Force, it also is applied to your hangar units. So hangar units that use HYT will do the same effect as a player was doing it. "Fixed."
Lastly from my PSW experimenting days years ago, there is the Duty Officer for PSW aftershocks.

But all this talk about PSW however runs into the core issue. It's Kinetic Damage and easily resisted by shields and this must be taken into account before dreams of PSW Death can become reality.
Yup, can confirm this. My Elite scorps no longer send enemies flying with their HY torpedoes, that's a real shame.
Having Overwhelming Force work with my hangar pets was awesome, and actually made me enjoy playing a carrier captain... while it lasted.
Can the Photonic Shockwaves and Charged Particle Bursts created from Overwhelming force make use of Doffs?
Like:
Darrak - Gravimetric Scientist [Space] Improved Repel for Photonic Shockwave, but removes Disable component.
Various names - Photonic Studies Scientist [Space] Chance to trigger a Photonic Aftershock.
Various names - Research Lab Scientist [Space] Chance to Placate when using Charged Particle Burst.
From Overwhelming Force, I don't know if CPB gets the DOFF benefits. But when I toyed with this trait months and months ago, the PSW certainly did. Not sure if Cryptic "fixed" or tweaked it since then.
