Entoiled Technology Set needs Canons

Why is it that there is no option for the Nausicaan Disruptor to come as dual heavy canons? Most other energy weapons sets offer DHC variants.

Or at least a turret.

or both.

let's not be limited in our thinking, here...every set that includes a weapon needs a choice of every weapon type currently available - including special ones like heavy turrets, omni beams and wide arc cannons

Disagree.

There ought to be more to choice of energy type than the color of the beams. And frankly, disruptor has more available to it than any other energy type in terms of sets.

The game should be balanced by forcing players to make choices, not eliminate the need tradeoffs when making various decisions.

I agree that each set should have a cannon, and a beam option, but with this specific set I would say adding a dual/dual-heavy cannon option might not be that great, while giving us a heavy single cannon variant of the Nausicaan Disruptor array would fit nicely. Though i honestly wish they would make it that in a set the beam/cannon weapon could switch between two modes, like a cannon type could toggle between the single cannon mode an a dual cannon mode for instance.

I don't think that limiting a set to only being fully usable by a single weapon type is a good method of giving variety in choices, but I do think that some sets should be more potent with certain weapon types an that should be the driving force that makes players make the choice of what to use. Making it that using a complete set is completely off the table if you are not running the weapon type that it supports just limits choice not makes the choice mater more, but making it that if you are running a weapon type the set functions well with an you specced into the proc type of the set is a good way of making a choice actually matter.

I think the nausicaan set could use an optional turret for those who don't use beams.

I would like this set and some others to have more than one energy weapon to pick from. For example, there's no cannon option for the Nukara space set. No omnibeam option for the Counter Command Undine reputation set. No experimental Romulan cannon option. Though if they were to add a cannon option to the Romulan reputation, how would you have the 3 piece clicky work? As a CRF 3 or something, since the beam version is like Beam Overload. Same with fielding 3 pieces of the Nukara set, if you had a cannon version? Widening the effect for additional targets via CSV? Having additional pepper shots from CRF bounce to additional targets?

Even though it is unfortunate that there isn't a whole lot for proton as a damage type, I do like the hybrid for the Heavy Proton reputation weapon from the Dyson rep.
