Like the title says - my poor plasma has no omni - with the introduction of phaser it's the only one left without a mission reward. Please let the next episode reward a Plasma omni beam array.

    I'm pretty sure we'll get it soon. Hold on a little longer.

    Haven't seen the new Omni Phaser in action yet, anyone know how similar / different it's firing effects are to standard phasers? I'm hoping they are close enough that I won't be annoyed by it, cause otherwise I just won't be able to use it.

    It is on the wiki Trilithium-Enhanced Omni-Directional Phaser Beam Array.

    Lol info page..the Set is right here
    https://sto.gamepedia.com/Trilithium-Laced_Weaponry#Trilithium-Enhanced_Omni-Directional_Phaser_Beam_Array

    The description hasn't been updated yet due to it becoming available yesterday and I simply wanted to play with it vs Update the wiki..It'll be done soon. I believe it gets a DMG mod at UR.

    Would be nice to get a console mission reward that gives you the +25% damage for plasma like we have for most of the others too. I think plasma and tetryon are the only dmg types that don't have one yet.

    I have both. Sadly, they don't fit together; so, indeed, we need a mission Plasma Omni.

    Should be on the exchange...But your right ..there isn't a "mission" one yet.

    This 2 piece is niiice and give a 33% boost to Plasma\Phaser\Disruptor.

    There's a Nah'kuhl console that gives +20% Plasma dmg, iirc (Plasma Wave). And it's not from a ship, just a stand-alone console, to be had off Exchange (for pretty cheap, actually).

    Otherwise, there's another Nah'kuhl console (which *does* come from a ship; the Nah'kuhl raider, iirc). And there's the +25% Plasma boost from the latest Lobi console, of course (set bonus). And, last but not least, the wicked Plasma boost from the Synergistic Retrofitting Set

    That shoukd tide you over for a while. :)

    Console power sucks unfortunately, which is why I imagine it's cheap...one of those powers that disables you basically while it charges up.

    root you in place yes. Best when you're already cloaked and the targetS are in Gravity well.

    More than roots you in place, I tried it once and it's like other powers where you can't fire while it charges up and if you don't have battle cloak that is hard to impossible to set up without a buddy.

    I find the Nah'kuhl console works very nicely with the Disruption pulse emitter console.
    Keeps enemies disabled and locked down in front of you while your plasma wave charges up and fires. :)

    Identical SFX/VFX to other normal Phasers for this exact reason.

    I appreciate the phaser for my Fed build, but kindly ask that the next mission reward a similar Plasma based Omni so that I can slot two. As you know, it's the only dmg type that does not have a mission rewarded omni.

    Yeah, clickety power is kinda lame, but it's still a passive +20%.

    Yeah it would be nice to have a mission-reward omni-plasma array, so that all energy type are largely on the same footing. Though I can say that I kinda would not have minded if crafted omni-array an lock-box omni-arrays were linked as being exclusive, and then having rep omni-arrays an mission omni-arrays being linked as exclusive, for the fact of what omni-arrays you can slot together. This could than mean that instead of having to give us a mission that has a omni-plasma array as a mission reward it could be part of a new rep instead, as well as give us more choices of what type omni-array types we can mix an match together within a given general type (plama, phaser, and such).

    We waited almost 2 years for any other mission reward omni beam than antiproton, then almost 6 months for the next type, then almost 18 months for the next type, which was the 1st faction energy type, and have now picked up the 2nd faction energy type just 2 months later. It's almost certain that we'll get the remaining one very soon, and that they are making a concerted effort to fill in those faction types quickly.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.
