...so one or more of the VFX artists must have a green fetish.
I demand to know who they are!

I'll get to tier 2 for the console and torp and be done.
It's no issue on my disruptor using KDF, but I won't use green phasers. If that's the case it's a rep to pass on since I also really dislike fighting 8472, their visuals are just annoyingly boring.

I'd accept blue phasers. I like the retro phasers too. If they'd made these blue I'd buy them as long as they differentiated them from tetryon.
Please tell me this was a case of "not ready for launch but we're working on it," and not just flat-out lazy "that's all we're going to bother with."
Oh and Green is pretty.

Actually there is a major difference between the two. Retro Phasers fire two narrow beams that are close together from each hardpoint, its easily visable when you fire it a lot, they are also a lighter shade with a white core to them. Andorian Phasers are pretty dark and are single solid beams like normal phasers.

I just use the console from the set and plan on using the torp, keeping my Fleet Phasers but using the 2/4 Phaser/Photon damage bonus ^ ^

1) Not everyone is in a fleet.
2) There was so far no set that boosted phaser damage. Now we have one that boosts green phasers and has a turret, a weapon no canon ship in Star Trek ever used aside from maybe some shuttles.
3) Blue Mk XII phasers are fleet only, just like elite.
Sometimes, if you want to bury the hatchet with a Klingon, it has to be in his skull. - Captain K'Tar of the USS Danu about J'mpok.
I have an odyssey which only uses the retro phasers.. surprisingly effective, even on the more difficult elite task forces- and the occasional comments are hilarious.
just rerun the time travel mission eight times
i could live with orange (like the color of the 8472 beams) or a different yellow but green?! why green?!
That's more than just a little disappointing. I was really hoping I had finally found an alternative to fleet phasers to use on one of my fed characters.
(As a side tangent, yes, I'm also a bit tired of all the green: Disruptors, Polarized Disruptors, Fleet Disruptors, Elachi Disruptors, Nanite Disruptors, Romulan Plasma, now Biomolecular Disruptors AND "Phasers".. Why are there soo few iconic Phasers in a game called Star Trek!?)
I absolutely agree. All we have in the way of classic Trek phasers are those terrible rare-quality retrofits, and Andorian phasers. We don't have any classic-looking ground weapons besides the retrofits!
Seriously though people. We need more blue weapons, and more red weapons. At least the Undine were a step up in terms of villains. Red/yellow themed villains are best, as opposed to green-themed villains like the Borg, the Tal Shiar, the Elachi, the Klingons, the Gorn, the Nausicaans, the Orions, and the Remans.
Also, does it annoy anyone else when TNG is considered "classic Trek"? There was a series before it. If you're going to be a Trek purist, you have to be a TOS purist. (Which I'm not by the way. Best Trek is DS9. It's just not the "classic" Trek.)
And everything in TNG was ugly, so if you're going to take something from it for STO, please not the visuals.
Truthfully, I'm not one of those guys who wears rose tinted glasses and reveres TOS. Heck part of why I like TAS is that it did things that TOS wished it could do. It had more non humanoids and giant monsters than probably all the rest of Star Trek put together. Hehe... when every ep is animated, special effects are limited only by what the animators can draw. And drawing a sentient plant with lots of arms/tentacles? That only takes a little more time than drawing a human.

That, too, is a pretty obvious one: On the show, Starfleet is the only organization that confirmedly uses "phasers". All the bad guys use something else. No one else is really confirmed to be widely using phasers as their primary shipboard armament, and even in cases where they're referred to as such, it's not a guarantee they actually ARE so, just that it is unambiguously understood (There's the episode where Jellico demands that the Cardassians eject their phaser coils, even though Cardassians are known to use spiral disruptors).
Actually phasers have the least availability of all weapons.
while most weapons have at least 3 versions like phasers (tetryon and disruptor have 6) the phasers are for the most part locked behind some kind of pay wall. And andorian and retro phasers are just blue, they don't do anything new or different from the vanilla phasers.
