Wondered if anyone knew if this was in the cards at all for the future. I love the ship designs/look. Not a fan though of a separate energy weapon type.
I would love to have some classic cruisers and escorts re-imagined as T6 ships with the Dyson hull; especially the Star Cruiser and the Saber. Maybe instead of different modes, just adding an intelligence, command, or pilot dual boff station?

I wouldn't be against it (See. uniform in avatar) but I'm not too hopeful ATM.
Notable missions: Apex [AEI], Gemini [SSF], Trident [AEI], Evolution's Smile [SSF], Transcendence
Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
I would agree the protonic weapons do need a slight upgrade and/or change, not so much in how they work, but more in that there is so few ways of boosting them compared to the other options out there. I think though you would need to re-balance them as being able to boost a shield bypassing weapon could get really op if not careful. Personally i would rather see it give a stacking shield by-passing buff that causes your weapons with the percentage being increased with the stack size, or even just that it destabilizes the target's shields making them have a higher bleed thru based on stack size (this would need to either be specific for your weapon or proton based weapons, or reduced % per stack if it is group wide). So what do you all think? What kind of change or upgrade would you want to see to the protonic weapons to see them more useful, or even make them more competitive? Though what exactly makes them so bad is debated abit.
If they just made Proton energy a universal that can benefit from any Energy weapon console, it would be a phenomenal improvement.
Yeah i think the fact that the proton weapons only being buffed by a secondary bonus on a tactical console that primarily buffs the main energy types (phaser, disruptor, and so on.) is an issue that holds them back quite abit. I find it funny we get a starship trait "point defense system" (i think that is the name) that activates a proton turret on your ship firing proton energy at enemies nearby, still nice yet would be better if the energy type was based on your ship's primary energy type. Adding a new console that would buff just proton damage, or making it that as said proton is buffed by any other type even if it were at 75-80% of the main energy type of the console it would be a great improvement.
