Just had a thought.... (re: quad cannons)

Now with all ships (possibly) unlocked... it would be possible to get all three of the quad cannons... can they all be equipped on a single ship? Obviously this would be a rainbow build, but...? And would such a setup be effective as compared to any ordinary cannon build?

    You can only do 1 quad weapon... Its just like crafted Omni's, if you put the Quad Phasers on a Vo'Devwl for instance, you aren't able to put on either the Quad Disruptors nor the Quad Plasma cannons... Therefore, no rainbow build using them sadly.

    Yeah, the way the game seems to be coded, they are variants of the same item. The game only lets you have one 'Quad Cannon' per ship.. you can't fool it with different variants. Same thing happens on Rep items that are one per ship but come in different energy types, the game seems to look at the base item and that prevents you from getting around the rule.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    Personally, IF they were to open up for more than one of them, I'd be getting 4 of one type...

    Just nicer with a single color scheme. :)
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    speaking of quad cannons - here's hoping that at some point in the future, the remaining three damage types that don't have quads for them get them

    polaron would probably be first, because jem'hadar, but the other two...those would probably have to either be mission rewards or event rewards, since no main faction uses those damage types...well, okay, the alliance seems to use antiproton, so maybe a future alliance ship will have them? though, that would fall under event reward​​
    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
