There has been no type of Chroniton based weapons released since the Temporal Warfare set released in September 2012...no special Chroniton torp or anything...even Transphasics have gotten more love than that lol.
I just think it would be nice to get a special Chroniton weapon based set with one of the new episode some day...

Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
I don't really count that for various reasons...including the name being Antichroniton
The Chroniton DB is AP damage and like I said there hasn't been any kind of Chroniton torp in over 3 years...so I think it's long overdue!
The Iconian Reputation would have been the perfect reputation to create a Chroniton torpedo in my opinion, thematically the ideal candidate to be particularly harmful to Iconian technology or biology.

If you look at description it says
"The torpedoes were capable of passing directly through an enemy's shields due to the fact that they were in a constant state of temporal flux."
I don't get where they decided to to have it proc a slow...well I suppose perhaps I could understand...like slow time maybe? "shrugs"
Maybe change the proc to have a chance to ignore shields? Or if don't want it to be so similar to Transphasic...maybe a chance to proc some kinetic damage that ignores shields?
It definitely kinda feels as if they had given what Chronitions should have to Transphasics - who were basically just some kind of uber torpedo from the future in VOY as far as I know, strong enough to one- or two-shot borg cubes. Maybe they did that by penetrating shields, maybe because they blow up extra hard... Either interpretation would be fine.
It's too late to change that, now, I am afraid. But that doesn't mean we can't come up with some neat buff ideas for Chronitions or a special rep Chronition Torpedo.
Multiphasic Chroniton Torpedo
Reputation Standard Torpedo:
+5 % Shield Penetration. If Chroniton Proc is applied, target also takes +5 % bleedhtrough damage from all weapon attacks.
Advanced Multiphasic Chronition Torpedo (Reputation Project Torpeo):
If Chroniton Proc is applied, creates Temporal Flux Anomaly: In a 2km radius, enemies are slowed down and suffer radiation damage.
I suggest we give it some time. Temporal cold war approaching et al so..
Well I'm talking more about space...pretty much every torpedo but chroniton has seen a new one in the last 6 months or so...Chroniton hasn't seen 1 in 3 years.
I just think some time soon would be a great time to make a special chroniton torpedo...maybe a set like the preserver set with a special chroniton torp that has a special proc.
While it can certainly happen, I would be surprised to see Chroniton become its own energy type.

Thanks for the feedback.
What about Chroniton torpedoes? Is there anything you can tell us in the works surrounding them?
Currently Chroniton torpedoes are among the least used weapons in the game.
They're torpedoes (and thus not the largely favored beam array with BFAW), damage is comparable with photon torpedoes at best but the RoF is lower and finally the proc is even near useless in PVP.
I understand that the shield penetration cannot be given to the chroniton torpedoes without creating a clone of the transphasic torpedoes, but some mechanic to bring them more in line with other weapons would be nice.
I'm not really worried about a new damage type really, just would be nice to see some additions to one or both of the current types...the Chroniton Beam Bank while it has it's own unique proc but is still AP damage.
What I would like to see sometime is a new set...maybe something like the Preserver set...like the Transphasic torp...it has the 40% shield pen but has its own unique proc...so maybe a Chroniton with the chance to slow and some unique proc of its own.
