    or a chroniton beamboat, since chroniton energy weapons are literal rainbows​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

    While rainbow orbital strikes would be cool... orbital strike officer manuals would be even better! I'm a science captain so I can't use orbital strikes, but my away team consists of two engineers and two scientists. Giving one or both of my engineers orbital strike would be soo hot!

    You can use "molten terrain" from the summer rep for your officers, it has the orbital strike animation pig-1.gif​​
    Or the delta rep rifle, which has orbital strike as secondary.

    I did a arena of sompek last night and I noticed it isn't very strong. Does this increase in power when you hit certain powers on the hot tray?

    While we are at it, why is the ability so damn weak? Most enemies just take that ship mounted phaser beam as if it was a punch to the stomach - or a cotton ball to the face - and move on pig-2.gif​​
    well it would be kind of unbalanced if one career could hit grounds enemies with a force of medium sized nuke just focused on rather small area (the yield of both energy weapons and torps is in the high kiloton to low megaton range) like a max yield shot is in canon ;)

    Or TLDR: because it's a game.
