Expansion of Omni-Directional Beams and Wide Angle Dual Heavy Cannons

bltrrn

Now that these are in the Agony Phaser format, what other lockbox/reputation weapons do you think they should come in?

All of them, ever?

I still think the restriction on wide angle cannons needs a look.​​

Well, not OP ones. Perhaps start with other semi-factional ones, like Phased Polaron, and Nanite Disruptor, and some others, such as Phased Tetryon, and Polarized Disruptor, but certainly not PvP favorites like Voth Anti-Proton, or Elachi Disruptor (at least for the mean time). Perhaps several of the Reputation weapons, the Bio-Molecular Weapons, and Romulan Plasma.

All, plain and simple. There's nothing "OP" about omni-beams, I would however prefer if there were simply cannon turrets with beam specs (not limited and make one "heavy" variant limited).

It doesn't make any sense not having all weapon typs for every weapon. Also, Andorian phasers need to be craftable and they should introuce new ship specific faction appropriate weapons (Phasers for Vulcans and Tellarites, Disruptors for Nausicaans and Gorn)​​

Omni Directionals are certainly not OP, generally speaking, but they do cut into the -Arc=+Dmg expectation.

Species specific weapons are tricky. Vulcans could use Plasma weapons with a Phaser proc, but those sort of already exist ingame, if you equip a Plasma Explosion console. For "Rebel" Klingons, Gorn, Nausicaans, I usually use Nanite Disruptors, but I would prefer there to be at least species specific designs, though that may mean that more Homeworlds will have to be opened up, which is a good thing.

I would kill for an omni-directional Romulan Plasma beam.

^This!^ I'd expect rep weapons, to come after lockbox weapons, though.

Before branching off into hybrids, get the basic faction types done.
Need disruptor and plasma omnis, each in their own weapon-weapon-console set.

A good idea, but they already exist independently, and some can't use both, or do not have beams/cannons in their builds.

Besides, I try to limit sets to those which fit into the build.
