New Escort Only Weapon: Torpedo

i want to suggest a new escort weapon only type

Dual "Type" Launcher mk ...


the weapon should be like this: 2 torpedos with half dps each torpedo (so dps wont increase), with a smaller firing arsc of 45°, therefore the torpedo speed shall be doubled.

as its now, its likely undoable to get torpdos to a ships hull, when the phaser proc comes up, the torpedos are to slow for the 2 sec window. so escorts, as dps class, should be able to use this window.

this would also be of great style for the defiant and the fleet escort ships ^^, all other ships just could fire to torpedos in row, but 4 the defiant it would be cool to have these double-launchers

    Yes, because escorts don't do enough damage as it is. :rolleyes:

    Let's give them Phaser gattling guns as well,..and how about some black hole guns.

    OOH OOH,.. I got it,.. make them like the Suncrusher in Star Wars and able to fly through anything without a scratch and blow up stars.

    Because that's what this game needs more of, is more DPS, eh?

    If anything, Cruisers and Sci Vessels need some beefing up.

    Indeed, Cruisers for example should get a unique "quantum turret" that fires quantums in rapid fire mode like in First Contact. :p

    Um... escorts already do absurd quantities of damage from what I've seen... and there's no shortage of escort pilots (Seems to be a very very very very very very popular ship... gee, II wonder why?).

    The last thing escorts need is more methods to make things die faster.

    you really dont read anything dont you?


    "the weapon should be like this: 2 torpedos with half dps each torpedo (so dps wont increase)"

    did you read this? it was more a style request, than a dps thing, and with the faster torpedo spead, its more related to those defiant like launchers.

    Asking Cryptic to add a new weapon to the game and have them NOT increase the damage..if intended or not is the same odds of my dancing through a lake of gasoline with a suit made of lit candles trying not to start a fire.
