Please may the Shrapnel Torpedo Launcher not be ship-restricted

This is a weapon that I've been longing to have added to the game since launch, and now it's finally here! Thank you! However, while I am incredibly excited to be able to finally get a hold of it, I am exceedingly worried that like other "top prize" lockbox ship consoles, it will be bound to the corresponding "top prize" ships.

Please make an exception for console, Cryptic, and allow players to use it on their other vessels, like with the Tholian Thermionic Torpedo.

P.S. I have to admit, I would love to be able to use the Adapted Borg Warp Core on other vessels than the "top prize" Tal Shiar ships, but the main piece of equipment from these that I want to be universally equipable is the shrapnel torpedo console.

    I agree. I would like to be able to put 2 on a ship. One in front and one in back. in any ship. even for 200 lobi. Preferably a way to earn it from Romulan Rep.

    Only if I can mount two of the 180 degree q-torps. (1 fore, 1 aft)
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    I agree to that too. I was pissed when that came out and that wasn't allowed.

    I really doubt they are gonna change things up with these specific lock box ships, Tholian, Temporal, and Dominion ship consoles are only able to be used on those types of ships so I highly doubt this will be any different.

    I can only imagine the survival a defiant or mvae could have with the extra defense from the set, or the havoc a Vesta could cause with the regeneration and the 3 piece bonus.

    I believe, if i'm reading correctly, the Shrapnel Torpedo Launcher isn't bound as it's part of a three-piece set that can be mounted on the Destroyer or the Cruiser.

    Hence, at the very least, you'll be able to move it from destroyer to cruiser.
    You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.

    Special weapons like the wide angle quantum launcher or the tholian torpedo launcher or the spiral wave disruptors are usable on any ship

    Yes but these are usually weapons, as in go in the weapons slot.

    Reading the dev blog made it sound like the shrapnel torpedo launcher was a console - and if it is, it'll be bound to the borgified rom ships.

    I'll raise you, they aren't allowed in PvP at all under any circumstances.

    (I'm sure that will become an unwritten rule like Boarding Parties et al.)

    No, its most likely to be a weapon slot like the bio-neural torpedo.


    The shrapnel torpedo better be able to be used on all other ships. Otherwise my interest in acquiring this vessel is zero.

    this weapon reminds me of the weapon used by the main villain in the first JJ Abrams trek movie. where the missile split open and impacted several areas of the ship it was attacking.

    is this the same effect?

    If you were actually reading stuff and not jumping around like the mask, you would know that it's a CONSOLE! and possiply with 3 or 4 minute cooldown and crappy damage done.

    That's not possible. There's NO JJ TREK in STO. It's illegal. Banned. And against CBS policy. There's no way they'd let that weapon into the game.

    hahahahahahahahaha... all the Tal-shiar stuff is essentially from JJ Trek. I hope you were being sarcastic. :D

    Romulus and Remus blew up ... aside from the comics and such, that's the starting plot point of JJ Trek.

    I thought it required the Borg Warp Core to function though.

    I think I read on stowiki that it can only be used on another ship NOT as part of the set. I have both ships anyway so I will be testing the theory later this evening.

    I have the adapted destroyer so here's the story...the shrapnel torpedo is a UNIVERSAL CONSOLE. It does NOT need the adapted warp core to work. It can be used on the adapted destroyer and the adapted battle cruiser ONLY. It has a three minute cooldown, but deals massive damage, with 50% shield penetration, to multiple targets. It is part of a set that consists of the adapted warp core and the indoctrination nanite console (found on the adapted battle cruiser). Hope this answers your questions.

    i thought the rule was anything that happened in prime was cbs and just the jjverse stuff was paramount, and the tech behind the spiky bits + torp from these 2 were in Countdown which was almost entirely in Prime

    Everything in STO is prime, as you can see Vulcan is still standing and there is no Romulus.

    JJverse is the alternate timeline being written by JJ and company.

    Who dug this thread up? I thought it was dead.

    Since my original post, I've changed my stance to one asking for a sightly less powerful, all-ship torpedo launcher version to be made as a dilithium store unlock if you have the destroyer. Similar to how things work already for the other lockbox ships. (And Kumari line.)
