Protonic polaron bonuses question

Do protonic polaron weapons benefit from both types of console bonuses (proton and polaron) or polaron only ?

    Polaron only.

    But the Auto-Targeting Consoles that comes with the new Reputation does boost the Protonic Damage (which is the Protonic Proc). So if you want both Proton and Polaron, you will have to buy a ATC that boosts Polaron Energy.

    And will also give 2.5% bonus accuracy on top of it.

    Protonic Polaron with the rep consoles has a very solid synergy. IIRC the numbers will even equal out to the fleet tactical consoles that are out. (trading critd or h for acc)

    Well that's why I asked. I'll have to decide between polaron only consoles and the new ones dyson ones.
    If the Auto-T consoles do apply the bonus to protonic polaron it's worth testing.
    This could be quite nice in dual-torp configurations since the polaron weapon will get a good enough boost while the torps will get the big bonus.

    The +Proton damage on the new consoles does affect the amount of damage the proton proc causes.
