after over 3 years since the iconian War expansion was released one thing was completely forgotten by the developers.... what happened to herald torpedos? the ones we get from the lockbox ships can not be improved! I am asking for this to change. will the development team answer?

    I somewhat agree:

    Every unique weapon visual should have an upgradeable version, even if the upgradeable version is a separate lock box or dil store purchase.

    (Or add weapon visual slots, but the devs have said that would require too much work for it to ever happen.)

    Oh have I been waiting for this for so long. I love these torpedoes but being stuck with non-upgradeable common ones isn't cool.

    Right now I can only hope that if they release the Iaidon Dreadnought, it'll come with an upgradeable version.

    Vonph was already massive, the Iaidon could be rather crazy :p

    with the introduction of the Juggernaut class ship the Iaidon is most likely going to be released in the near future.

    The same situation applied to the Voth Chroniton-Transphasic Torpedoes. The Wide Angle one included on the Bulwark is Very Rare and until a few years after introduction was not upgradable. Then they made it upgradable, but the standard Common Mk X stuff wasn't and isn't.

    As a Herlad ships user, I could not agree more regardings the upgradeable torpedos. Well, im not a torpedo fan in general but sometimes i put the mkx version just for the visual (and of course when i have to do the kinetic endavour) :D

    The same applies to the time-shuttle's deflector and the Ferengi shuttle's shield. Not that anyone cares about shuttles these days.

    this thread isn't getting enough attention. developers should be allowing us to upgrade these torpedos by now...

    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Which strikes me as an odd decision, since it would have a beneficial effect on local rendering by visually reducing some rainbow boats to single energy types. But I've stopped expecting any real critical thought from the dev team.
