Omni-directional disruptor beam?

Where you obtain an omni-directional disruptor beam, other than the exchange?
It's not a crafting item. DR episode reward? A rep store?
I would love to get one, but insanely expensive on the exchange for me.
Thanks!

So how many junk common beams do i have to craft to get to lvl 15?
I havent even touched my crafting system, will this take an absurd about of time?
It will take about a month. The R&D project that you want to do is the 6000 xp one at the bottom. (Just scroll down and you will see it.)
Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
Check with your Fleet to see if anyone has the necessary doff and level 15 in Beams to assemble the Omni. You'll need to get a character to level 5 in Beams to make the necessary components, or buy the components off the Exchange... but so long as they aren't having the spend their materials and components (especially the dilithium needed to make the Very Rare components) to make an Omni for you, you should be able to find someone willing to put one together on your behalf. Either that or check the Exchange for one, though that's market rate for a fully assembled Omni rather than getting a hand from a Fleetie.
I started months ago and I am only a few days short of my first R&D lvl 15. It's really pointless to make it a 3 month slog like that though. So ridiculous.
"You don't have to do something again and again and again repetitive that doesn't have much challange, that's just a general good gameplay thing."
Its no where near a 3 month "slog".
To level crafting.
1st decide which school is most important to you.
2nd level a 3 schools to the point that you unlock the 4th Project slot.
3rd take that one school and don nothing but 20hr and craft 3 things at once. While your playing either R&D tech or MK 2-4 consoles. You get the same amount of XP no matter what as long as a project is running. When you log out for the evening though start higher mark items as they take longer to craft and are earning you more XP while your not on. (as far as EC costs go there not much of a concern if your playing the game during this time.... basic materials to craft mk X are easy to obtain for free)
4th When you get ONE school to 15 you unlock a 5th Project slot... which means getting more done now is much easier.
Seriously crafting is not new now... any school important to anyone should be long done already even if your super casual and only play a few times a week.
If you haven't done anything on it... focus on one school and even if you only plya 3 or 4 times a week you shouldn't have much issue getting a school done in a month.
Yes, I did nothing but the 6000 point 20 hr missions to up my crafting and reached 15 on ONE school last week. The one school got slotted every day while the others rotated through the other 3 slots. All the rest are at 12 currently.
And I think you'd have to have or buy a special doff to even craft those beams. And they are quite expensive on the exchange.
And... I think you can only mount 1 of these beams at a time, so getting to 15 to make 1 is a bit of effort.
My advice... gather the mats and find a friend that already got to 15 and ask nicely to have him build you one.
I've been doing that grind since it launched and my toons are mid level 13
one just hit 14 on shield tech
After I got to lvl 15 beams I decided to sell the crafting mats on the exchange & buy a UR version beam instead. Not only does each crafting try requires a big amount of dil but to do it at all you'll need a beam R&D specialist DOFF too (the energy weapon doff for the normal beams wont do it) which is either a purple one for abou 40mil from the exchange or a white one which does not add to the UR chance from (afaik) the 1k dil R&D assistance daily (random; not granted) or also for a few mil of the exchange.
If you should have all of that you still might end up with a [arc] that only has undesirable mods to your playstyle; like the [pvp] ones for ppl not doing pvp.
If you are only interested in one or two of those beams save yourself the trouble; currently its cheaper on the exchange to just get most common energy variants of the beams directly.
Trying to search on the exchange for one. What do i search to find one??
Is it Emergency R&D Hologram: Energy Weapons Officer?
Thanks!
Errr... Post right above you?

You want level 15 anyway. 15 grants you 3 things:
-- the ability to craft this 360 beam
-- a new trait: beam barrage or something like that.
-- the ability to craft the purple quality gear upgrade tokens ... much cheaper than buying them from others. They offer much more upgrade points per use and only cost a little bit more dil per use, so your stuff costs less dil to upgrade but somewhat more EC.
You may also want some of the other schools at 15 for the traits and upgrades.
As for crafting junk.... you can craft the lower tier stuff (tier VI and VIII I think) which convert white and green (for VI) or white, green, and a LITTLE blue materials into valuable vendor trash. It is actually quite good income to vendor these, and it costs effectively nothing given the exchange value of the green and white crafting mats --- and you can replace the mats with DO assignments without lifting a finger.
When you say one... means I cant do a rainbow build with multiple Omni beams?
A Phaser Omni and Disruptor Omni are not the same...
I've done the 20 hr missions since launch, and I have one school at 16, three at 15, and the others under 10.
So do I. The one from Sphere of Influence is Antiproton only.
(And for the record, I have 4 characters who have hit 15 in at least 2 schools, and most are close to 16 in one.)
The BCB is kinetic, and not affected by beam consoles or powers, making it an odd duck.
You can craft it in any of the standard 6 energy flavours. But no way to get one in, say, Romulan Plasma.
from 0 to 15, yes, yes it will take just that long ...
I'll take Plasma omi ove rmy AP omni any day as I am a plasma build... WOOT!
I can see my Capt now... pulla Riker Maneuver, plasma bomb the enemy and yell out LET THAT MOTHER F***ER BURN!
Look at this link

So i need to get specifically one of these officers under special DOffs for crafting lvl 15 items, and for example we're talking about beams so i need to get one of the ones listed for beams, yes?
If he is common Quality he will make me a purple very rare beam, if he is very rare quality he will make me a ultra rare beam, correct?
And as far and very rare crafting materials i found this

I thought if i need something that i dont have i can use this as a guide, does it look good? And additions anyone can make?
Thanks!
If so, Omni-Directional Disruptor Beam Array Mk XII [Acc] [Arc] [Dmg] [Thrust] Ultra-Rare
20hrs to completion as of this post.
:rolleyes:
