Fleet Tac Consoles

So we have Fleet Eng and Sci consoles. If they add another Fleet location that has Fleet Tac consoles it only makes since that they would have Acc, CRTH, CRHD modifiers as these are the 3 Tac abilities. Just like the Eng has Power transfer, Hull points and Turn, If these come about what do you think it will do to game balance in PVE and PVP?

I can see cannon/torpedo variants, maybe energy type variants like polaron/disruptor, but not weapon modifiers...much to broken that way

Not to mention flatlining the Exchange which would be great for me. I'd be ok if Fleet Tac consoles came into play as long as they where just Buffed versions of existing consoles.
Maybe something nifty tossed in. Like say....+30 Beam damage w/ +2.5% torp damage. Something like that......

this would be a bad move on Cryptic's end. it would only result in NOBODY using them,
They ignored fleet field gens presumably because they'd be too op and everyone would use them exclusively.
Then for mine consoles they only released the 3 that people care about in neuts, monos and RCSs. Completely ignoring the fact that they could have also made far superior versions of consoles that people ignore atm and made them actually useful again
For example:
+weapons power console that gives weapons drain buff
+aux power booster that gives gives +x to all sci skills
+shield power console that buffs innate shield resilience (bleed through)
+engine power console that improves ships inerta and/or turn rate
Emergency force field generators that give +x% innate hull repair rate and shield regen rate boost based on crew alive levels (Think Tal Shiar 2 piece bonus but better)
EPS that gives bonus to insulators and flow caps
SIF generators that boost hull HP and sub system repair skills
If energy/damage specific ones come out that'd be neat. If only weapon specific ones come, they're acknowledging like with the field gens that the system is broken and would be too OP.
Either way will be interesting seeing what the bonus buffs will be.
28% to Specific Energy 5% to all Torpedoes
28% to Specific Torpedo 5% to all Energy
And a 15% All Energy, All Torpedoes
Numbers are a complete guess.
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.
There is a reason they didnt make +power consoles, they arent useful enough. The only way i would use one if it had -_ weapon power drain, and thats the ONLY way i would use one.

A hell to the f'in no!
Any others would be unknown.
They would be probably linked to the Reputations.

Of course, I'd be the first in line to buy them, but that's beside the point...
RCK
+20% damage with energy weapons
+20 threat generation
+2.5% Damage using phaser weapons
That is most likely what we will get (and ones for photon torpedoes)

Sounds closer to right, but i higly doubt they are going to redo threat consoles.
most likely random add ons, +torp or +mine things like that

30% Phaser Energy
15% Quantum Torp
30% disruptor
15% photon
30% Plasma Energy
15% plasma Torp
something to put torps back in the game

Damage numbers aren't what are keeping torpedoes from being universally viable. Half-assed consoles that provide even more of a boost to energy weapons isn't going to change that.
On the bad side they will just magnify power creep X100, and on the good side it would crash the Exchange weapon consoles...
Mk X: around 28%
Mk XI: 30%
Mk XII: around 32%
Universals like Mines, Torpedoes, Beams, Cannons tac consoles with
Mk X: around 18%
Mk XI: 20%
Mk XII: around 22%
Needed Bonuses
+ Threat (good for Cruisers Tanks)
- Threat (good for Sci & Escorts)
Projectile Damage bonus on Energy Tac Consoles: 9%, 10%, 11%
Energy Weapon Damage bonus on Projectile Consoles: 9%, 10%, 11%
Bonuses Should NOT be used on Tac consoles (Already have to much Power Creep TRIBBLE for Escorts)
- Accuracy
- Crit and Crit Severity
- Shield Penertration
fleet tac energy weapon consoles that offer a reduction in energy weapon draw(-12 to -10, -10 to -8, -8 to -6) so more power can be redirected towards shields, engines, or auxiliary. another possibility is adding proc chance for weapon abilities, 1%-2% per console.
fleet tac projectile/mine consoles that offer a bonus to proc effects...perhaps doubling their duration, severity, or chance to proc.
Both seem logical to encourage a more balanced play style.
for the "mixed" consoles focusing on all beams, all cannons, all torps, all mines...something along the lines of built in abilities, like BO1, CRF1, TS1, DP1.
That would fit the trend of giving bonuses more for sci and cruiser ships and taking away from escorts.
The proc one would be great, but I can see rainbow boats all over the place, or even more disruptor usage. My drain boat would like it though. Getting the polaron weapons to proc more often would add 5 seconds of extra effect from a drain build.
As far as the drain reduction goes, it's just way way more power creep. I can keep my drain build running at max everything with about 8 seconds of down time for every 30.
escorts dont tend to focus on shields, engines, or aux other than if they can pull off aux2batt builds.
reducing energy drain on a ship like a cruiser with full broadside would allow more energy to stay in shields, aux, or engines, improving overall survivability and performance. This would also have an effect on BO abilities as the energy drain is amplified against a lower base number, making it easier and quicker to build power back up to nominal levels afterwards.
the point is, cryptic wont do something drastic to change the setup, especially if it weighs the game more heavily in favor of escorts. whatever they do will of course benefit all players, but help engineers and sci captains n ships just a little more.
30% to beams
30% to torpedos
More threat scaling buffs. Seems logical. Power to the rainbows
