Restrictions on 360 Time and Tide Rewards/Conflict With Other Sets?

I selected the Omni-Directional Chronometric Polaron Beam Array but get a "cannot equip more than 1 of that item" error message when I try to equip it. According to the STO Wiki, it can't be equipped at the same time as the Omni-Directional Antichroniton Infused Tetryon Beam Array (which I have equipped as part of whatever set that is).

(1) Is this intended?

(2) If so, was there something in-game that would have alerted me to this? I thought the "cannot equip more than one of this item" on the tooltip just meant I couldn't have 8 of the same item equipped on the ship, not that it would conflict with other "sets."

(3) Does the other 360 degree weapon (the Heavy Chronometric Polaron Turret) have any similar restrictions? I don't want to run the mission again only to find out that it conflicts with something else I might have equipped.

Thank you.

    You can only have 1 crafted 360 and one mission reward 360. You probably have another mission one slotted. Ancient anti-proton maybe?

    Yes, this can and should be made clearer in-game.

    (The agony phaser 360 from the lock boxes is considered a crafted one)

    I'm not sure, but I think it's just the omnibeams, for game balance reasons. (It used to be that you could equip just one omnibeam, according to the wiki, and now it's one set and one crafted.)

    If there was no restriction on Omni's we'd have 360 Beam Boats nuking everything in sight.

    Not that we don't already have ships nuking everything in sight especially if its a hardcore DPS player...

    It really should just be an "aft slot" restriction at most, but it's WAI.

    And the lockbox phaser 360 should be in the episode group not the crafted group. Max 2 polaron, tetryon, ap -- max 1 phaser!?

    It just means the adventure for phaser 360's hasn't come out yet. There's six main energy types, we're still waiting on advenute 360's for half of them of them.

    We're also short a +plasma damage console/weapon set. I figure we'll see things move back into balance by the end of the current arc.

    Thank you for the replies.

    I understand restricting the 360 weapons but just wanted to know if there was something obvious on the weapon tooltip that would have warned me so that I am not confused/annoyed in the future if there is a similar item type restriction.

    The documentation on this restriction is VERY poor and I've collided with it head-first myself. Which is why I wanted to give you an answer quickly that wasn't "lol noob"/"you know nothing John Snow". :smiley:
