If your looking for an excellent weapon to defend against those annoying Siphon Drones first complete the Mission involving Mr. Wolf.
Once finished you will receive some nice items that can't be used until the rank of Rear Admiral has been achieved.
One weapon however the Omni-Directional Anti-Proton Beam Array can be used on any ship.
It is an excellent weapon to use because it has 360 degree firing arc as well as being able to track multiple targets at once.
Once the Siphon Drones have been deployed simply fire the weapon and it will destroy up to two of the closest drones on the first shot.

I love Mr. Wolf. He solves problems.
and honestly the weapon isn't that great...not usefull on an escort with cannons, and not usefull on a broadsiding beam cruiser...
however, if you happen to have a sci vessel with antiproton DBB up front, this weapon is excellent as a rear weapon.

It keeps increasing damage as you level, so should be a great accessory for leveling chars. Though, I don't think there are AP tac consoles below MK IX(if even that low), but since going mixed-energy is less of an issue at lower levels, it's worthwhile to cart around.
At 50, it probably becomes worthwhile for the two-piece bonus even on cannon builds with the 10% bonus to all weapons, pending you have enough AP weapons to offset the DPS drop for that spot. I find it handy to rear mount on JHDC with cannons, since the subsystem targeting works through it.
Now to upgrade to Anti-proton...this will be expensive...
That's how I read it.
Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
We do, it's just split between two sets of weapons, instead of being split by different phaser strips.
This thing has a ton of firepower. It's a little weaker from directly behind, but for most of the forward firing arc, this thing is damned strong. Especially for only having two Blue XI AP Mag Regulator consoles.
It's awesome. It is kinda squishy for a cruiser, but like I said, T4 Galaxy. I love it.

You almost make me want to get my dreadnought out of spacedock! I've got to do that mission 30 times to get both pieces for my fifteen toons but I like the set bonus too.

Warp core looks cute for 2nd set-bonus. But I keep wondering whether that combo can really out-DPS a decent Elite [Amp] core. My guess is not.
It's not a bad alternative to use until you max rep and/or get enough fleet credits to purchase fleet cores.
Haha, I also fly a Dreadnought, but it's a phaser boat. If you ever see a Galaxy with red-ish stripes called "U.S.S. Crimson's Fury" spamming AP beams, say Hi to me!

My Plasma /Romulan set fleet MVAE hits harder..... but I still like the AP setup
The questions is about the new buildable beams: can we have like 1 plasma and 1 tetryon ?
Meaning...are they exclusive by type only ?
As far as I know you can have one of each type if you so desire. But I never actually tested it ^^'

You can have only one Omni-Directional Beam Array per ship, last I heard, regardless of base energy type.
Can have 3 of them the newest one is in DR. I mean 3 different types of ODBA or 2 for now.
Time will only tell!
Actually you can have the cutting beam and the Omni-ap from the sphere mission, I use them both on my AC.
What I was wondering is if you could also include the crafted one as well with the sphere version.
Plus now I here there is another story based one in DR.
So are we looking at 4? or still only 3?
Thank you, was debating on buying an Omni from the exchange (crafted) but now will not as I will just upgrade the story one.
