Omni directional beams being reduced in power if i have understood the release notes for 4th sept patch. If this is so,I am sure it will hack alot of people off,considering the cost of buying these on the exchange.I spent many millions upgrading my ships in this way,was it all in vain?
Is Cryptic deliberately trying to annoy and anger the player base of this game?

    if you actually READ the patch notes, the Omni beams were not being "Reduced in power" their tooltips were saying they had more DPS than they were actually giving.

    Resolved an issue where some crafted items were incorrectly displaying higher than normal stats.

    as if you read the first one, it says consoles actually had higher values. the omni beam array/wide angle dhc's just had display issues.

    Just look at some items on the exchange:

    wide-angle disruptor beam mk xii [acc] [arc] [dmg] ... 392 DPS
    disruptor DHC mk xii [dmg]x3 ... 281.8 DPS

    Do you believe there is no bug?

    This was not just a display bug, these weapons and consoles were actually working at the listed values. Wide angle DHCs and Omni beams are / were doing double their "normal" damage. the consoles were only bumped up about 5% but the weapons were literally doing 100% extra damage. I have a few cut and paste snippets from my combat log saying a Single shot from a dual heavy cannon rapid fire 1 was doing 20k base damage.

    -Edit-
    The other cannon shots from the same volley were doing about 5-6k out of 9-10k on criticals.
