I got this one in the deluxe edition
fit it to my ship
but it doesnt seem to fire anything, or does it just boost plasma dmg for other weapons??
cuz the explanation says +45 plasma dmg but when clicking info i get the info for a directed energy distibution manifold with + 45 plamsa dmg underneath it

It definitely is an independent turret. It shoots 360 degrees but only at very short range. I've seen it picking off mines or hitting the shields of nearby enemy ships.
It does what he said.
I've lost my initial enthusiasm for it, though. It shoots too slow to kill anything more than 1 mine. The rest hit you.

It works. First time I noticed it was in the Briar Patch. Let's just say that is NOT the best place to learn that thing is working. lol. I had to unequip it for the Briar Patch mission.

It does actually work, need's to be at fairly close range. It's almost impossible to see if you have other weapons firing but if you stop firing other weapons you'll see it, very small red projectiles. It works very well against mines and targetable torps as well as no doubt providing extra dps when in close proximity to other ships.

lol - i just let it shoot away to it's hearts content. on that one - i just love when random stuff happens too much to not allow it to go on.
you have to be close before it'll shoot @ anything. - it seems to prioritize to the smallest/weakest target in range, but could be i just notice it when things go right; but, i've seen it stop shooting @ the battle ship that i've got a tractor beam broadside attack going on and shoot all the fighters off my backside...... it's great for taking out mines before they nail your hull - that thing has saved my hide once or twice by dropping heavy plasma torps that were fired when my facing beams were on recharge.
i've passed up every tact station that has dropped for me, up to MKIV's in favor of keeping that on my ship - and i won't be surprised if it rides on every ship for every character i play all the way through to all their end games.... i love that little thing.
Everything I've seen shows it shooting at anything closer than 3km. I haven't really noticed any prioritizing of targets, but as long as it takes out high yield plasma torps I'm a happy camper.

It fires a + 45 Plasma damage bolt at targets which get within 5 M of your ship, It doesn't do high damage and it is prone to get target locked on your enemy if you get closer than 5 M.
However it takes out incoming Plasma really nice.. use in combination with your phasera for multiple incoming plasma and it works nice on hitting those pesky fighters and Energy Syphons.
It is great especially on Escorts with the multiple Tactical slots.

read that thread, item is exactly what the name says it is.

That's hysterical. I can only imagine.
I quickly found better tac consoles thought.
Trust me it works!

Amen, I had the same experience:eek:.

thnx for the info
"Directed Energy Redistribution Manifolds increase the damage of all starship beam weapons."
Does this have anything to do with anything? Is DERM an officer skill? A console? What?
