Only two Cold ground weapons

I think we could use more cold damage type ground weapons.

To the best of my knowledge there are only two; the CRM 200 and the Hyper-Compressed Cryo Launcher. Neither of these are up-gradable, nor is any item in the Crystalline Nanofiber Shell set of which the Cryo Launcher is part. Also I might add the models for these two weapons are woefully dated.

What say you? Those nasty Tholians have gotten away with far too much for too long!

    3 - there's a cold based full-auto too​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

    Actually the Full Auto is Antiproton with a side of Cold. Its not a pure Cold weapon.

    The CRM is certainly upgradeable. You've also number of Cold Kit Modules as well.

    Yeah, I was going to mention the cold kit modules from the winter event. I wish we had more fire themed weapons. :mrgreen:

    When did that change? Last time I looked at mine it said Antiproton with added cold.

    At least on the wiki page history it has been Cold since the beginning.

    That winter kit that adds cold damage to your attacks is pretty awesome. Also the cold-based science kits. I would love to see some cold-based space weapons added to the game. Revenge is a dish best served cold!! :D

    The Nukura Rep weapon? 1 has a bug. Both are cold dmg, says so in the dmg part details. But one of them on the title says antiproton. Labeling error due to cut/paste I am guessing. not sure if it effects anything. you can slot it up during an endeavor asking for antiproton dmg to test.

    Thank you, they must have changed it, I haven't checked in quite some time.

    I'm already loaded up on every cold kit module =) Just wish we had more weapon options. Perhaps a ground Breen set? Or Andorian?

    first, they need to actually make the SPACE breen set usable at endgame before they go adding a ground set​​
