Omni Tetryon Support Beam Array clash with Antochroniton-Infused version.

Imagine my consternation upon realising that the above weapons which I'd spent many upgrades getting to epic level cannot be equipped on the same ship. That's right, the omni arrays from the Temporal Manipulation and Obfuscated Strategist sets are mutually exclusive, which given the cost really sucks.

    All omnibeams have the same restriction. You can equip one setpiece and one non-setpiece omnibeam, no more.

    Logically it should replace the KCB.

    Not so sure about that one. The KCB is a whole weapon category of it's own and defies a good number of things considered "normal" for beam weapons. If anything it's got more in commom with the experimental weapons than with the other omni-beams.

    Agreed. KCB is more like an Omni torpedo than anything

    Thing with that is that because it's different its damage cannot be boosted like with other weapons. Isn't this the first energy type to have more than one omni-beam as part of a set though? I always knew you couldn't have duplicate items from the same set on a ship, and same for more than one non-set omni beam. This last one is a real curveball, just means I have to rethink my captain's loadout.

    I believe it's Set, Crafted, KCB as a limit.

    Yeah, pretty much. Though we also have 2 phaser omnis from lockboxes (agony & pulse) and from what I've heard they count as the "crafted" beam when you use them.
    So I guess its now: mission-reward/reputation + crafted/lockbox + KCB

    Btw, I really hope we'll see a plasma omni soon.

    The good news is, that already exists:

    The bad news is, it's a lockbox item.

    I didn't even know there was one out already, though being lockbox it can't be paired with crafting anyway.

    What stinks the most about the restriction is that it affects items obtained in totally different ways: mission reward and rep system.
