    So far it only seems particularly useful on torpedo boats. Does anyone know if the chance to proc on energy weapons is per shot or per firing cycle?

    Don't really use it but I seem to recall it being changed a long time ago to not crit, back when they had to fix the issues cause several million DPS from kemo.

    Yea..It crits now..On my Science ships im seeing 22-24% (slightly more than my ships onboard crit chance.)

    TO Quote CrypticSpartan and the beginning of season 13:

    "..most proc reviews were based on a bugged state under Fire at Will. Outside of Fire at Will, weapon procs have always been once per cycle, as this was the intention of them. It appears that in the time since Season 13, the knowledge that procs have always been this way has been lost."

    I still dont get enough damage spike to justify a lt. commander level tac power...

    Oh noe..Your absolutely right.
    At most its a tertiary damage source and a mild Debuff. Not worth an LTC Tac seat on an escort or cruiser..Limited use on a Sci ship with that high a seat. Ensign an Lt are good spots for it.

    Does faw still technically increase your chances of proccing kemocite, since it speeds up firing slightly and hits two targets per shot?

    I'm trying to decide whether or not to run it on a science beam boat (4 beam arrays) with faw, torp spread, kemocite, and tac team as my 4 tactical abilities

    I still do that just because of Entwined Tactical Matrices. The Extra\Back to Back Torp spread is why I do it.

    FAW is 5 shots per cycle(Generally 2 cycle per ability activation). More targets do not increase the chances of the beams procing more.

    I mean if youre hitting two targets, can't kemocite proc on both targets?

    My original idea for the build im using was to suck everyone up with gravity well and then hit them with faw + kemocite, so each proc hits the entire group of enemies for max effectiveness.

    If it procs it would proc on both yea.Just doesnt increase its chances is ll im sayin.

    Torps + Kemo work better with GW than Faw.100% vs 10%

    I have a similar build going with the bio-molecular but the Kemocite update didn't really seem to do a whole lot for me. Rad damage in general, just seems lacking though. I might switch to Isolytic cannons and plasma based building.
