REQUEST. Console Universal - Spiral Wave Disruptor Lance

daimon97daimon97 Member Posts: 368 Arc User
I was wondering can this console be made usable on all ships? Perhaps with a slight damage nerf, like maybe make the disruptor boost around 16%. This console can really aid loads of disruptor damage builds. Please make it usable for other ships too, just like the Immolating Phaser Lance. What do people think?

    Far as I know any Lance consoles are limited to the ships that they come off of, as they are the only ships lore wise with the equipment to USE a Lance. The Phantom Intel Escort and Faeht Intel Warbird both come with Lance consoles if I remember correctly, but are the only ships that can use them.

    According to the Wiki the Spiral Wave Lance can be used on any Cardassian ship, I'm not sure how accurate that is though.

    It is true. Only cardassian ships can use them sadly

    Deimos' console lance is useable on any ship. AFAIK, the Cardie Lance just comes out of the Deflector anyway, so it's not tied to exclusive geo like some lances.

    Leave it to Kurtzman's team to outfit a Federation villain ship with a weapon based on a phaser type outlawed by the Federation as an atrocity since it is the energy equivalent of creeping napalm :lol:

    Yea my main idea was about Deimos' phaser lance too. Would be cool to have cardi's disruptor lance usable on other ships...

    There are a bunch of consoles that should be opened up to other ships. Some would take more work then others, but very few couldn't be done.

    I would prefer they kept the lances to particular ships who's meshes were made with lance emplacements in mind, even the lances that seem to come from the deflector (which can be explained by the lance being buried in the hull and firing out of a port at the center of the deflector, similar to the way the Klingon torpedo fires from the center of their deflector pit.

    And I'd prefer they didn't, because it makes those consoles effectively useless. The ships they're locked to are rarely any good.

    Cardassian ships are very good, especially Ghemor

    Good thing a) that's not the ship the lance console comes on and b) the lance isn't locked to just that ship. "Problem" already solved.

    No it comes from Keldon, and I still think it shud be avaliable to other ships as well. Not JUST Cardassian Ships

    By that note, should all ships be able to use the saucer separation console, not just the Galaxy variants?

    No lol, weapon consoles and saucer separation consoles are vastly different. Tho I won't be against the idea of more fed ships using saucer separation consoles.

    Given there are separation pet consoles (like the Jem'hadar Vanguard Carrier's) that just spawn the pet when equipped on other ships, sure, why not?

    About any console type that would make sense to limit, Cryptic probably already has an exception. Want a console that is originally from a Warbird that spawns a quantum singularity, presumably spun off from the ship's core, on an A-M Fed ship? Already exists and fits. For the Riker Maneuver that might reasonably be assumed to be tied to geo (as it comes out the nacelles just behind the bussard collectors) of the Sovereign, probably wouldn't work on other ships, right? Nope. Made truly universal. Cloak console from Defiant/Galaxy-X T5s now fits all ships, even those that already have cloak built-in...
