    They seem alright. Not really sure about how they perform stat wise, but they seem alright.

    probably cause plasma is not that good of a damage type, I mean it's not bad but basically everything else is better, pretty much anything powerful that supports it also works with disrupter or phaser both of which are far stronger.

    I mean I use them on my borg character and they work just fine. but I don't see a reason to go for them otherwise. though they are cheap on the exchange.

    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    Phaser has a set omni. Disruptor has a set omni. AP has a set omni. Tetryon has a set omni. Polaron has two set omnis. Plasma has no set omni. Which one of these is not like the other?

    Actually, Plasma does have a set omni. It's the Altamid Modified Plasma Omni from the Lobi store.

    Uh, say what now?
    All the energy types are the same, especially since the procs have become useless.
    What's different is how easily it is to acquire sets for the different energies and the number of sets in existence.

    Not agreeing with someone doesn't give you the right to be an TRIBBLE.

    Ci sono tre tipi di giocatori:
    - quelli a cui non va mai bene niente... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
    - quelli che sono talmente imbesuiti da credere a qualunque cosa i dev dicano, perfino che la luna è fatta di formaggio... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
    - quelli che credono a quello a cui è giusto credere, sono d'accordo con quello con cui è giusto essere d'accordo e sono critici con quello che non va;

    Ai giocatori dei primi due tipi, gratis in omaggio un bello specchio lucente su cui arrampicarsi. E una mazzata in testa per la loro poca intelligenza e compassione verso gli altri giocatori che non la pensano come loro.
    Agli appartenenti al terzo tipo, invece, dico grazie. Anche se non sempre si riesce a mantenere la calma, siete quelli per cui vale la pena incazzarsi.

    Agreed.

    Plasma is fine, it's a very powerful energy type with plenty of boosts available. All energy types are viable, the only question is how easy the boosts are to obtain.

    As for the Assimilated Plasma, not great.. not terrible. If you want to use them, they're perfectly fine.. you're not going to see a significant difference from any other Plasma beams unless you're parsing your runs and trying to squeeze every last percent. If you have them, use them.. they will serve you just fine. :smile:
    Insert witty signature line here.

    More accurately, Plasma is the only energy type to only have a set omni behind a pay-wall (Lobi) when compared to the others, but it is there.

    I use them on my Tal Shiar cruiser with Lib Rom captain and borg crew. Just for the fun of it.
