Please can you change the phaser damage bonus on the 4 piece kelvin set to all energy. The set is crossfaction and not everyone uses phasers.

    Yes. So much yes!

    I've pounted this out to many players & to the powers that be, but all that I've received (from said players) is negative, and have not received anything from the powers that be.

    There is also an issue with there only being a +Photon Torp dmg bonus, as the Romulans obviously use Plasma Torpedoes.

    Hopefully we can get some answers, as to why this bonus exists in the way that it does.

    In time, there should also be KT Klingon space weapons, and KT Romulan ground & space weapons; the KT Scorpion Fighters already prove that there is something beyond Phasers, for space; the KT Klingon weapons provide a base design for KT Romulan Ground Weapons; since the only space weapons only exist in Beam Array form, all that needs to be done, is to change the color of the fired matter (green for KT Klingon, Blue for KT Romulan), the dmg type dealt (KT Disruptor for KT Klingon, KT Plasma for KT Romulan (both which already exist ingame, in different contexts)); a similar process would need to go into the release of KT Romulan ground weapons. For the Torpedoes, a similar situation exists; nothing needs to be changed about the Photon Torpedo (of which both the UFP & KE use); with KT Plasma Torpedoes, since they already exist on the KT Scorpion Fighters, they would only need to be copied to the same state as the KT Photon Torpedo, and the icon for it be a slighty different than the KT Photon (Maybe the icon for the Omega Plasma Torpedo, but white, instead of dark grey?)

    Just my $0.02

    You know, I used to think this. Especially since I have the D4x. But then, reality smacked me in the face. Half the consoles are terrible.

    The D4x has a proton weapon console. So, I can freely dump my Spire Tactical Consoles for Dyson Rep Consoles to boost it's damage. Then, it shoots not only my primary target but every other target in range. Yes, that is exactly what I want as a BoP captain. The attention of very NPC on the damn map. Joy.

    The mining laser is the worst 'superweapon' in the game. You have to park and shoot, similar to the plasma beam on the Arkif. You would be better off getting the 2 piece set bonus from the lobi "Contractual Agreement Set".

    Because the Federation consoles are arguably the least terrible

    If they introduce KT otherfaction weapons, they will probably introduce KT otherfaction item sets. Get your wallet ready!

    Sarcasm aside, the D4x itself is fraking amazing! I love it! The fact that the console is awful is a bonus, since I don't feel compelled to use it.

    I'm probably getting a Constitution first, so I might pop the "unique" console off, and wait to get the entire set, before I decide whether or not to use it.

    Having talked to some Vengeance captains, they prefer the two set bonus of the Vengeance and D4x consoles.

    Apparently, the D4x Proton Weapon console pairs nicely with B:FAW set-ups. It might be a good investment for your JJ-Prize. Still a terrible console for the D4x itself.

    I'll take that into consideration, although I'll still experiment with several setups. Fortunately, I already have the Proton Weapon already. B)

    I'd like it better if the set bonus was all energy and not phaser, mainly due to the fact that sometimes, not everyone wants to use phasers. Especially since there's some out there (myself included) who uses different energy types based on what ship I'm messing around with. Like if I'm using my Jem'Hadar dreadnought, I'll use my Dominion Polaron beams. Or if I'm using my Breen ships, I'll use Disruptors (or again Polaron since I don't have Polarized Disruptors.)

    Dreadnought class. Two times the size, three times the speed. Advanced weaponry. Modified for a minimal crew. Unlike most Federation vessels, it's built solely for combat.

    Aye, it should be +Energy dmg & +Torp dmg. Also, Phased Polaron would do you better. ;)

    Changing it to "All Energy" would be a great idea, and further encourage me to purchase in some shape or form.

    I agree. I didnt read the consoles untill i got the klingon bop. Happy i got such a cool vessel, then i saw the set bonus.

    I was actually angry. So they want me to use phasers on a klingon bird of prey?
    Add disruptor.
