Quantam Torp specs?

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I found a Quantam Torpedo MK II, after changing to Elite, and blowing someone up (it was loot). I thought this weapons was cool, but it does less damage than my normal Photon Torpedo mk II. What's up here? Did they make a mistake?

Another example of a mistake
when I go to purchase a rifle, on earth space dock, it says it does like 7000 damage, but when you look in your inventory it says like 70 damage.

cheers

    I have noticed the same issue with the torpedoes. The extra effects they give don't compensate enough IMO for the reduced damage.

    If you are using Quantums.. Spec into Quantums at T3 and toss in a console for Zero Point Quantum Chamber for + Quantum Torpedo damage.. the Damage is a lot better than Photons.. overall the DPS is relatively the same..

    However the trade off is this.. at higher ranks, Quantums do more damage but fire slower than Photons..

    so you get a choice since the DPS is relatively the same.. Photons for a faster rate of fire.. Quantums for more Crunch power.

    At low levels, I think there is a discrepency in the tool tips.. Look at your weapon button in a system space area (the weapon button on your hotbar) .. Don't go by stats in Sector Space.. they are incorrect. Don't go by stats at vendors or exchange..

    Use your paperdoll and sort through the stats in system space with the weapon / console equipped.

    the tooltips have a display bug that is being worked on.
