I don't get the point of RA weapons like antproton.

I really do not understand Cryptics idea of RA weapons.

1- They take a ton of skill points to spec into.

2- No extra base damage ( yes you get the combo of crit, acc and crit damage bonus ) But over all the increase in dps is not worth the skill points.

3- A good blue weapon like Disruptor is almost as good. Less skill points used and you can put those skill points into things that REALLY do HELP you.

You would think that a purple weapon that takes a ton of skill points to skill into would be much better.

    In the case of the Antiproton purples you can get in Gamma Orionis, supposedly they have some bonuses vs borg that aren't displayed. I don't think anyone's really confirmed it though.

    Well, the issue is, the skill system was designed without a cap in mind, so their higher point cost would have been a no-issue anyway. But instead Cryptic put in a skill point cap one week before headstart... go figure.
