Console not stacking....WHY?

I have the console Nadeon Detonater from the Bellephrone and the Photon Torpedo Defense Module from the Armitage. So why is it that when the photon torpedoes fired from the defense module hit thier targets there is not ensuing photonic shockwaves?
It clearly states in the description that the Nadeon Detonater works on PHOTON TORPEDOES. Is this an oversight? If not then it should come with a disclaimer that it will not stack with the Photon Torpedo Defense Module. I would not have wasted the Zen trying to come up with a unique strategy.

Also it is not a passive power and wont work with the Armitage console....
FYI you could buy it on Tribble for future experiments. I think the zen balance on Tribble reflects how much you've purchased, like ever, but IDK how often that refreshes.
CommanderDonatra@Capt.Sisko: ahhh is it supposed to do that?
Norvo Tigan@dontdrunkimshoot: hell ya, maybe
"This console modification allows you to alter a Photon Torpedo so it generates a Photonic Shockwave upon impact. The Nadeon Detonator Module may be equipped on any Starfleet ship in any console slot."
"a Photon Torpedo" means "one", "uno", "einer" "un".
Just like the torpdo generates "a Photonic Shockwave", meaning ONE Photonic Shockwave, not two, three or a dozen.
Either you read the description properly or if you're unsure, you can ask.
Actually it works on torp spread 3 which happens to be more than one torp. Not trying to be snarky but if it works that way it should work on the Photon Defense Module too.
yeah but spread only hits one ship each, the console would pound a cloaked ship.. no? If i am wrong i am sorry dont burn me with hate lol
Your Javelin deals 125417 (89066) Disruptor Damage(Critical) to Tholian Recluse. > lol
Okay, let's take it from the top.
When you equip a Photon Torpedo launcher on your ship, you have a "Photon Torpedo" launch button in your weapons panel.
THAT is what gets upgraded by the console from the Bellerophon.
That is the single torpedo I was referring to.
Of course this also stacks with the Spread Ability because it does the same thing.
The Console on the Heavy Escort Carrier is not such a torpedo, it is a console.
So it is not affected by another console because it's not a type of topedo attack you'll find in your weapons panel.
So youve found a new bug, congratulations sir, even if that bug is a typo on the console itself!
Now take this ticket, number 1654516546546515841 and join the back of the que.
Sorry but as a sto player you really have to get used to cryptics approach to bugs (run the other direction), some you may even learn to embrace.
Unless your somehow getting zen for free consider it, "Working as intended".
Cubeageddon - You are the last hope. Find it in the Foundry!

The Armitage comes with a Universal Torpedo Point Defense System. No mentioning of Photons. From memory it does something like 6 x 1250 kinetic dmg.
Nothing to see here, walk along.
[edit] And imho that console is a waste of slot.

orly? Look Again
Pretty sure it says "PHOTON Torpedo Point Defense System"
Either way the Nadeon will not affect it because strictly speaking it's not a "Torpedo Launcher".
You can try bringing it up to Cryptic, but don't hold your breath. The Photon Detonation Assemblies don't work with it either.

You linked to the NPC ship. The Heavy Escort Carrier we get does not say "Photon" it says [Console - Universal - Torpedo Point Defense System].
As others have said it's a console that happens to launch Torpedoes that are Photons. Not a Photon Torpedo Launcher.
The Nadeon Detonator now works with all Torpedoes BTW not just the Photons so the argument that it should stack with a Console is even more flawed. It upgrades a Torpedo Launcher not a Console that launches Torpedoes.
Nadeon Detonator
No matter how people spin the words as written it was only ever designed to work with a Torpedo Launcher ship weapon and not a Console. It is working as intended. And now that I know I can use it on any Torpedo Launcher if anything it's become better.
If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.
Uh actually the link does specifically say Photon Torpedo Defense System. Whoever developed this idea should have given consideration as to how it might work with other consoles.
Now if they wanted to change it to a universal torpedo point defense system and let you select the torp that would be a interesting twist.
The Player ship specifically says "[Console - Universal - Torpedo Point Defense System]"

Actually, my Mirror Vo'Quv is equipped with a nadeon detonator - and it has a global cooldown with HY and Spread abilities. :P
Also, multiple players have stated that the nadeon detonator only works with photon torpedoes. This was changed some time ago.
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
Other things not affected by nadeon include things like the Hargh'peng, Rapid-fire missile launcher(torp spread works with it though), Rapid-fire and cluster Transphasic launchers. It does work with the reputation launchers though(dots from shockwave omega torps are nearly as brutal as the energy bolts - and has a larger blast radius).
They what?!
P.S. I think the rapid-fire transphasic torpedo wouldn't have much of a problem, as it's just a faster-firing regular transphasic. Romulan hyper-plasma, however...
