Blue phasers nerfed?

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I've read that the blue phasers that come on the GameStop pre-order constitution class are supposed to scale to be slightly between the two phaser beam arrays for your level (i.e. between 1 and 2 for ensign, between 3 and 4 for Lt. Cmdr., etc.), however I am currently Lieutenant Commander and blue phasers only do 122 DPV and 98 DPS, whereas Mk IIIs do 129 DPV and 103 DPS. Did Cryptic nerf blue phasers? Or am I missing something here?

    Its based on your level, not your rank, your level. so the higher level you are in your rank the higher damage they do.

    I continued my testing with 4x Blue Phasers . . .

    Yes, I do see multiple beams comming out
    The display only shows two of them firing.. it is the bug

    I swapped between 4x blue and 2x blue+2x Orange, and while I could see no difference "Visually", the 2+2 took down enemy ships a LOT faster. This was on a Cmr6 with a science ship. yes the beams are scaling, but am I getting all my punch?

    WIsh I knew

    I think you may have the wrong thread, Burns.
