More types of Dominion Polaron

Hey guys, ever since the expansion hit polaron has been more popular, (always been my top weapon for a long time) I always liked the Dominion Polaron, even to the point of torturing myself with Kurland popping up "KURLAND HERE" I do wish however there was more types to get, dual heavy cannons, dual beam banks and turrets! Be a great way to be able to setup our Dominion ships! what do you guys think? really like to have my Jem heavy escort t6 on my fed geared up with them!

    Would be nice, but I think right now the current "Go To" Polaron type for Jem'Hadar is the Inhibiting Polaron from the Gamma Rep.

    Quad cannon poloran PLZ!!!!

    While I'm not a cannon fan, I do tend to use quads on my shuttles, so I approve this message.

    My Ferasan with T5u & T6 Jem ships, no bug ship though, has been cheating with Vaudwaur Polaron,

    My first Gamma is cheating as well with Coalition Disruptors.

    I have 2 other Gamma’s I’ll end up using Inhibiting on one, not sure on the other.

    I don’t like to have my captains using the same ship or exact energy weapon time as any of my other captains.

    So my Fed Vanguard Might end up with polarized freezers or phased Polaron or just a fleet version Fleet or colony Polarons, I really haven’t made any decisions yet.

    I’m really more of a disruptor person, I really with Polarized Disruptors were Purple...

    If you're going for a "canon" Dominion weapons appearance, the ingame Polarons aren't close enough. Dominion weapons fired a blue-white and definitely did not have purple beams nor sparkly particles in them. Even the Dominion Polarons in game, though not having the regular Polaron particle effects, are still in purple.

    I haven't tried the Inhibiting Polarons yet though, will check it later to see if they're the proper canon blue-white.

    They're purple. But its a stable beam compared to the standard polaron.

    I think the closest to the canon look of the Dominion Polaron is actually the Chronometric Polaron weapons.

    I've had good luck with Phased Polarons lately. Definitely not going to complain about new polaron types. Though the one energy type I really want to see get some more love is plasma. Also would love to see some type of polaron lance.

    Plasma needs some console love, would like to see the old romulan set console add plasma damage, and maybe the borg set console as a way to spruce up the aging sets. Also add plasma and disruptor damage to the DOMINO console, its stupid they arent on it but phaser is.

    As for special rewards like Dominion polaron id like to see them placed in the dilth store after you complete the mission so you dont have to run boldly they rode etc 400 million times just to get the weapons. Simply put all the rewards in the dilth store listed by story arc/mission once played.

    This is most unfortunate.

    Quad cannon of Polaron would be cool too, I would agree with that! as for the other comments on plasma needing love I agree, my favourite plasma is caustic plasma! Dominion Polaron aren't set as a set bonus so why even limit the choice? same for piercing tetryon and you can't even re-engineer piercing tet... I would like to see alot more choice on the energy types for Dominion Polaron. As for the suggestion on dil store once you complete mission. Yes that is a neat idea to be able to purchase the storyline items instead of re-running, Il most likely opt to re-running anyways but I think the option be nice!

    in a way Dominion Polaron sounds appropriate for Jem'hadar, would be nice to see more variants of it.

    Oh yeah a quad polaron cannon would be amazing, which could be placed on either the warship or the heavy raider. I also even kind of wish we had a variant of the beam array/banks that would serve a similar function as the quad-cannon does, like slow firing heavy hitting lance-beam weapon, or a quad array/bank weapon might be interesting too (lol).

    I actually find the protonic polaron, or specifically the proton weapon from the dyson rep fires quite similar to the dominion polarons in the show kinda.
