Let's talk Heavy Digitizer Plasma Torpedo

So, am i correct in assuming that the Digitizer plasma torpedo from the reward pack is a Trico torpedo with a plasma DOT and omega torp graphics?

Has anyone else tested this torp and found a sweet spot for it?
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Its a Plasma torp without any of the benefits of a Plasma DoT torp and nothing to make up for the loss in burn DoT damage that I can see. Not sure what you mean by trico torp with a plasma DoT? It looks like a basic Plasma torp to me without the normal Burn DoT.

    I believe the torp proc is bugged and the devs have made a mistake with the proc stats. Not found a sweat spot for it.

    The regular torpedo is targetable, as are the torpedoes from TS and HY. Hence it reminds me of the trico setup.

    Many plasma torpedo are targetable both for basic shot and TS/HY. Some are targetable for TS/HY only. The targetable part doesn't bother me as I am built around targetable flight speed boosts. Its mainly the lack of a proper Burn DoT that is stopping me using the Digitizer plasma torpedo.

    Not really sure what the Digitizer part of the torp does?

    Unique kill animation similar to digitizer effect from TMP IIRC.

    Also, the other weapons do show the animation and don't need to give the killing blow, too. So if you feel the torpedo's lengthy cooldown is too much for you, you can put a beam array to have this animation.

    so basically the same as the omega plasma torpedo in high yield?

    It is as far as I've seen it.

    That 30 second cooldown takes a lot of the enjoyment out of using it.
