Quad cannons can't be equipped on fighter?

edited December 2012 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
Tried to place my Disruptor Quad Cannons on my To'Duj Fighter today, only to find out - surprise! - I can't.

I've heard of Fed players equipping their Phaser Quad Cannons on their Peregrine Fighter, so is this a KDF bug only?

    Weapons and equipment without the -S suffix can be equipped on small crafts. Try it yourself. The problem is that the Disruptor Quad Cannon is the exception to the rule.

    Thing is Pops, I believe they never intended for us to be able to slot in 'full-size' beam arrays, D/HCs or DBBs on the smaller ships. After all, that almost doubles the DPS for no cost (and in the case of the duals, zero cost).

    It's just a bug that they never got around to fixing (and hopefully never).

    What's I'd really want is to be able to put shuttle-sized beam arrays on my normal ships. 360 firing arc, sub-targeting compatible with DPS equal to a turret?

    You're probably right, asphe. It just bothers me that while the Phaser Quads will work on a fighter, Disruptor Quads won't. What can I say? I enjoy consistency.

    Try putting them on while in space.

    Good idea! But I just tried it, and it doesn't work :(

    There should be parity either both factions can equip quads on a fighter or neither should be able to do so.

    FEDS got cloaking and carriers after years of moaning about it constantly raging "unfair unfair" and "to heck with factional diversity", well how about tiny bit of reciprocity Cryptic! :rolleyes: It's not like you do much for the KDF as it is, you owe us that much IMO.

    SOME models of fighters/shuttles can use cannons. I know Deltas can't.

    Egad....the engine on a full size ship is probably larger than the damned shuttle.

    "What'd you do to that shuttle there? Oh, we thought she went too slow, so we pulled out the engine from a Excelsior-class and swapped it out for the old engine. Now she hauls TRIBBLE..."

    "Yeah...but she looks like an armed engine with a crew compartment..."

    I tried the in space thing as well without success.
    My problem is that I can't equip quad or even dual heavy cannons to my tactical escort retrofit.
    Ideas anyone?

    My understanding about the S- gear, was that it was for shuttles only, and would scale with level. If you had an S- beam array, it would fire at a 360* angle. I know for a fact that a regular beam array has the normal firing arc, and I have equipped my Breen and Jem'Hadar gear on my Delta and Toron. I have both quad cannons, I will try this out in a bit and see if I can replicate your issue.
