By the description it seems pretty clear they are Omega reputation sets, question about the console is how the Mk will work ... upgrade assignment or buying it (with Reputation marks) off the shelf.

The cutting beam might be a beam arry/dbb that does kenetic with high sheild peirce, so it would benefit from it. I'm hoping it is as that would give my pve sci build a way to get more kenetic and bleedthrough at the same time as letting me use target subsystem abilities.

Sorry, I was going off memory and blended a deflector I got from STF store w/the Jem. The Jem boosts flow caps, counter measures, gravitons, and damps +24.4 and has a +1 stealth detection. I've used it for flow caps or scramble builds till I found something better in the past.

I'm not entirely grasping the point you're trying to make... Is it that the assimilated console shouldn't be changed? Or Devs shouldn't be in player fleets? Or that it's getting changed because of Dev's in player fleets? Or what???

It's hard to say, if the cutting beam really is kinetic damage (I know what it says but this is Cryptic) then I have to wonder if the 2-piece KHG set would work with it; if that is the case then I know of several platforms that this would work on from the B'rel to the Bortasqu.

However, I think that, again, this would work best on this would work best on non-tac boats like assault cruisers and the like where they need to spend more skill points to get weapon power up to 125 and get drained hard by large broadsides. All this is speculative though since we don't know the firing arcs, damage, or anything at all really.....

What I'm saying is that, however unlikely, the possibility is there to corrupt the development system. Devs should be above being members of player fleets and developing emotions for or against any players.

This change is going to really effect the flexibility of certain sets.

you mean like the overpowered 3 borg + 1 MACO that everyone recommends for pretty much everything?

Surely you aren't implying that Cryptic makes balance changes based solely on PvP?

Pretty much this ^
Despite the fact that PvE is so easy you could run all Mk X commons and still complete optionals.
