Any thoughts on the NX torpedo console?

I am finalizing my points on this console, but wanted to see what others have noticed about the performance of the torpedo (and micro-torpedoes) fired from this console.

Credit to players who find something I did not find.

Thank you.

I was curious about this as well but from the response this is getting it must not be too popular.

I heard that each torpedo it fires procs Kemocite, so that's good I suppose.

It's... lackluster. Results coming soon in written format and video.

Honestly, I don't really like it. I file it up there with "Consoles That Are a Great Concept, But They're Lackluster".

Don't misconstrue what I said as "The NX is terrible." It's a great ship, a terrific ship. It does an amazing job as an ecort.

For shek and giggles, I slapped the traits from both the Vengeance and Valiant-class starships and gave my NX Cannon Volley. I can't seem to run out of CSVs like I used to. All I have to do is sit there and spray my targets with cannon fire and they die.

But as for the torpedo console, I GUESS it's great if you like the stat boosts, but honestly? I think you'd be better off with the voth tech 2 piece bonus of the gravimetric torp and the console.

Also, I am totally going to take a look at the Valiant and Quantum Phase Escort builds in your sig. Just FYI.

Thank you, @asardetemplari for your thoughts. I share yours as well; great ship (the NX), but the console leaves much to be desired. Quite frankly, I think it's bugged in that it's not interacting with abilities that should boost it.

Initial assessment and thoughts are available for a read, as well as some of the other mathematicians breaking down a few other questions/parses/comments.

Comparing this console to previous torpedo consoles from the Akira, Presidio, Defiant, TVaros', etc., it makes me wonder why this console was released in such a weakened state.....
