in the 2 part Ep "year of Hell" Voyager is ripped apart by chroniton torps one or two shots ( not saying it should be like that one here but come one these aint even close )
on here they dont even come close to norm photons
having the best consoles dont even do well
chroniton on here is almost the worst dmg type yet in ST they are out of phase of normal space time
they should do more dmg
im not saying drop the rest but perhaps making chroniton better or stronger
example 1st chron torp fired at a borg ship should rip thru shields like they werent there until they could adapt

Chronitons are balanced, as they have a potent special effect as it is: the chance to slow your target. They are not meant for pure damage. If you want shield penetration, go with transphasics. That's their special effect, even if it is only partial.
Besides, Voyager was only 'ripped apart' by chronitons because they did not have the necessary shielding. If chroniton torpedoes are in common usage (as in STO, which is years ahead of Voyager), wouldn't it stand to reason that most ships would already have the necessary temporal shielding upgrades to prevent chroniton torpedoes from bypassing shields?
TL;DR: Chronitons don't need the buff to damage because they are for debuffing, not damage.
If you want damage, use quantums. If you want a debuff, use Chronitons.
that aside, they're my personal favorite torpedo/mine type in the game.
Used properly chrons multiply all of your other sources of damage. That's exclusive to them alone.

For comparison, if you have no defense, even a photon torpedo is a potential death sentence - just the blowback from a close range explosion could destroy a Galaxy-class ship if its shields were down, and Voyager destroyed a ship that had taken several torpedoes without a problem by beaming one directly inside the ship. However, with proper defenses, even the Defiant takes dozens of hits from them (but a single torpedo lodged inside the hull still becomes a serious issue).
All these weapons are in common use in the Alpha and Beta quadrants. Similar to the Breen energy dissipators (another god-like weapon defeated by technobabble), countermeasures would already be in place on the ships of most or all major powers.
Shield Bypass, the Radiation proc, plus the delayed detonation.
So if Cryptic was to make Chronitons in line with canon, they have to replace the revised Hargh'Pengs and replace them with something else.
Here's a wild, random thought:
What if Hargh'pengs essentially are those same chroniton torpdoes? Made with Klingon tech, but more or less the same thing?
From the mission (I didn't pay close attention to the text in the remastered version, but in the original you have to arm your Har'peng torpedoes yourself and learn this), we learn they're a protomatter weapon, which puts them in the same class as the Genesis device.
Would make sense, not to mention the Chroniton Torps from "Year of Hell" were only this effective in an alternate timeline that no longer exists.
Use chroniton torpedoes with beam target engines,
Gravity well, tractor beam , energy draining weapons, doffs
Spec your skills to take advantage of this, then use warp plasma
Your enemy can't move
Game over
They are powerful single target weapons if you take
Advantage of their special abilities
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
Ah, I don't think that is in the re-mastered version, and if it is, I must've forgotten.
Still, even that would make sense to be in the same basic realm as the 'Genesis torpedo'.
