Spiral Wave Disruptors need a buff to be competitive with fleet weapons.

Since Cryptic decided lockbox ships should be equal to Fleet ships, it makes sense that the special weapons that come with them be boosted too.
Hence I suggest that Mk XII Spiral Wave disruptors be made available to buy at the dilithium store instead of the levelless versions that come with the ship (keep the ones that come with the ship as they are). Also, I think they should have a second damage modifier, making them [acc]x2, [dmg]x2.
They would be in line with advanced fleet weapons, but would be inferior to elite fleet weapons that have their own special ability.
Thoughts?

I would love to see Mk XI and XII versions of these, with a variety of different procs.
I do not see a need to give them 4 bonuses though.
rares should get 2 , Very rares 3
The upcoming ultra rare items ... who knows ?? 4 ... maybe that makes sense.
but [acc]*2 [dmg]*2 is a way ... waaay overpowered weapon.
I like this idea you posted though.
A Lot.
More Thoughts ?
I thought they could only be used on a Galor class

However, with 2xACC, they're already one of the best Beam Array weapons in the game, and really don't need another buff... And MkXII weapons are far too valuable to be put in the Dilithium store. They deserve to be a reward, say for a long term Top Tier Fleet Starbase assignment to put them in the Fleet Store, or the next Featured Episode...
This i can agree with. Quad Cannons for example really should be the same at VA as a MK XII DHC with 4 Dmg modifiers.
In fact IMHO all the scaling weapons should work out as equivelent to their normal MK XII vershon with the relevant suffix's. With the scaling working backwards from there. Not Forwards from MK I or whever it starts.
Agreed .
The fact that they get the power of phasers and disruptors could be counted as their 4th "bonus" .
I'd also like the Quad Phasers added to the D-Store and be buffed and able to equip more than one on ships (if you already purchased the Sao Paulo) .
For what reason should weapons who are already among the most powerful in the game get buffed even more with one extra modifier on top of that.
Wouldn't want them behind the MK12 as well would you?
Theyre pretty awesome, even levelless... The disruptor proc and the phaser proc are two of the best in the game, and this weapon has them both. My Galor has 7 of these, and I seem to put out pretty good DPS.
However I do think that these should get the same buff the the Quad Cannons got in Season 6.
Just like some of the carrier pets, you have to own the Galor and have it in your personal fleet in order to purchase the weapons.
i stumbled across these spiral wave disruptors and now want them. what do you use on your tactical consoles for these weapons?
thanks
stick to the disruptor consoles for best results
R.I.P
They do cost double what most weapons cost on the D-store.
