Upcoming "Proton" space set "beam-cannon" - funny Cryptic.

edited November 2013 in Builds, Powers, and Game Mechanics
If you have not seen the upcoming space set for Dyson Sphere Joint Command, the "energy weapon" is a single-cannon that can benefit from beam and cannon boff powers when you have 2 and 3 piece bonuses from the weapon set.

How many sets will pass before we have an energy-torpedo that can use energy and torpedo weapon powers?

And how many before energy and torpedo boff powers are combined?
Proposals for using in-game features to improve: (1) the "Phaser Lance" (and other underrepresented/missing "big guns"); && (2) separation systems on all ships that have them; && (3) training boffs in captain only powers by using boffs as pack-mules; OR to add functionality like: (4) "Away Teams Of Space Ships";

    7? That's my guess, 7. :p
    Please reconsider ARC. Please make it optional, at the least. PLEASE.
    It seems the vast majority of your most active players (forum regulars) hate the idea... and while that's a small subset of the playerbase, I think it's an important constituency.
    THE PLAYERS DO NOT WANT THIS.

    Well, whilst not QUITE what is being described, we do essential have two steps in this direction already:

    The bio-neural warhead, which is (for all intents and purposes) a torpedo with the ability to use an energy weapon

    The VATA console torpedoes, which (depending on which you use) have the ability to fire smaller torpedoes.

    I can't imagine that they won't expand on this.

    Sidenote: The bio-neural warhead is ridiculously overpowered when used on shuttles in shuttle/fighter only missions. It can kill enemy fighters before reaching them, and then will switch to new targets constantly, firing off it's point defense at anything nearby =P

    Wasn't that the episode where Jadzia went down like a fish? I mean, really, great character who figured prominently in the storyline. Someone like that should die heroically surrounded by a mound of enemies, not surprised and gutted by some peon klink redshirt. What a waste.

    Erm....is that not the Armitage Point Defence Photon Torpedo Console?

    Pew pew 360 degrees/ 6 photons per target/ max 6? enemies

    Is it affected by torpedo boosting consoles/projectile skills/attack patterns...etc.

    Don't think Spread and High Yield affect it...

    Nope, she was killed by Dukat, in a similarly senseless death brought on by a contract dispute.

    Yeah, what is up with the VATA console? You'd think it would be a platform that would go around the Avenger and fire, not be some random nonsense armed with torpedoes.

    And we're at 7 sets, which means next year sometime.
