Rainbow Boats?

So with all the time stuff going on, specifically the temporal agent recruitment event coming up (and a few new time ships with it), is anyone planning on making a rainbow boat? No, not like having 6/7/8 beams all firing different colors of the rainbow. I mean filling out your ship with as many temporal themed (rainbow) weapons as possible. For example, the antichroniton-infused tetryon weapons from that one episode, the Krenim chroniton torpedo, the chroniton weapon from the lobi store, etc.

Care to post a build link? I was thinking about making one, and could use the advice on what to use.

Ordinarily, a ship that uses one weapon of each damage type, or tries to get as many different colored weapons as possible.
In this case, I'm talking about using those special in-game weapons that have effects that look like you're shooting rainbows.

As far as temporal weapons though, no, my TOS character will be using TOS phasers (or TMP if they become available), and my ship will be the U.S.S. Tun Tavern NCC 1775 (that's the place and year that the United States Marine Corps was born).
It does a decent job
One cool "stupid shuttle" trick is to use the TOS shuttle omni Beam array and a regular shuttle omni phaser beam array on the shuttle, put in Fire at will as the only ability on a shuttle that has 2X tact console slots with Phaser relays.
Does fairly good on shuttle weekends
Nice... what kind of engines you gonna put on her though? MACO? Aegis?
Yes. Though there are other weapons that have that effect than just the Lobi one.
Has to be something fast if they want to make a sonic time boom.

ROFLMAO Oh that's a good one.
I know, but when it comes to crafting things I am so cheap I make a ferengi's ears wince.
The ancient omni + crafted omni or the AP omni that comes with the wells shuttle is nice set to have on a captains Yacht or a peregine fighter.
I'm running the Polaron Omni and a Wide Angle Quantum on my Aeon.
Yes, more temporal rainbow weapons please I need a full set.
Hopefully a T6 Sovereign will have Pilot seating.
Ordinarily, T6 upgrades of old ships get a hybrid seat of whatever specialization is newest. If the T6 Sovereign comes out after AoY, then it'll be a temporal hybrid seat. But that's okay, because it could have some sort of rainbow boom effect as your ship travels in time for some ability!

Except that the Jupiter Carrier came out after Command spec and Pilot was made a Primary and has Intel seating. So it is possible that a new ship would have spec seating for an older spec.
Only downside is I'd have to get a Kumari for the Andorian Phasers. >.<
I have a character who runs mainly 8-weapon ships. Her beam setup is a standard phaser(orange), ancient 360 AP(red), Kinetic cutting beam(pink), phased tetryon(purplish blue), Dominion Polaron(purple), Delta rep Polaron(yellow), Rom plas(blue-green), plas-ruptor(yellow green)
TASTE THE RAINBOW!
Heh, needless to say I use +beam consoles and EptW*2.
My character Tsin'xing
Phased Tetryon is actually Cyan. Not purplish blue. Standard Tetryon is straight up blue and Destabilizing Tetryon is white.
It’s a good idea OP and I have already similar plans as “back up” solution if I want to go for the new expansion but without breaking into sweat over it. I have so many epic and UR acc bound beams of different colours around that I threw out just because one mod was imperfect that my AoY toon could already have a nice build without me putting much effort into it.
With +beam consoles we have at spire (not to mention flagship consoles) rainbow builds are not that far behind. The terran and ico beams are also 2 of the best beams to slot. If one ad the kinetic cutter and perhaps the 0 energy consuming romulan beam a sci ship would almost be set up already.
Atm I have only settled on an Andorian science toon. I don’t have to make a performance build out of it because I already have nine of those but would love to do something fresh and different.
We shall see. With all the torpedo pioneer work @darkknightucf made I could also see myself giving torpedoes a second third try.

You can't do that, @whicky1978. You can equip one crafted omni, one non-crafted omni, and the KCB. If you want a fully omnidirectional ship, you'll have to go with turrets (and cannon consoles if they're all different energy types, for a Skittles ship).
True. But, keep in mind the Sovereign class Enterprise did actually travel back in time once. So a temporal spec might be in flavor? Though command might also be in flavor. Pilot would be cool too.
I dunno. I have no real guess as to what a T6 Sovereign would get.
