Yeah for ground omega is more for the squad leader and security protocol kits and especially if everyone in the team no matter what faction is using a set. Although I would like to see either slower adapting to that omega gun or atleast a new proc to proc a remodulate if you have a whole set.

I find it a bit ironic that some of the folks saying that a 1% proc rate is too low, were among the same folks claiming that a 0.5% proc rate on the Subnuc Doff was too high.

I made that statement believing Weapons Power was still hard capped. For the time being, its not, so I have no issue with the proc rate.

it doesn't do anything to regen, energy regens instantly when a weapon cycle ends. what goes on above 125 is just not displayed, energy is drained per shot as normal, and every shot above 125 has a damage modifier of 125 applied to it. the lowest your energy drains when over caped is higher then it is when you just have 125 energy. the log parceing in post 54 in the link shows that this is what happens, thats why your overall dps is boosted. the devs have never commented on this, i watch this issue closely, im even in that thread you liked talking about this.

holy false equivalency of the year batman

What does a +wep pwr proc do for a torp boat?

My suspicion is that torpedo boats are going to want to make use of the new Kinetic Cutting Beam, which benefits from this proc. Still, people who primarily use directed energy weapons will benefit more.

Not every set bonus is going to be ideal for every build. We strive to provide interesting options without making these sets obviously "must haves" for every build.

Please tell me it'll have the sound of impending doom that it did in Best of Both Worlds.

So its confirmed that the Kinetic Cutting Beam deals kinetic damage? If so, does it do a large amount like a torp, but is reduced 90% on shields?

I suppose a BO3 + KCB on bare hull is then the next best thing since sliced bread. Except this time, it slices as well.

(Ironic, considering that we use BO3s for taking down shields... Does MACO weapon set get a torp that deals more damage to shields?)

I would love to see some type of synergy that gives some type of bonus to teams equipped with different sets. It would also be nice to have something similar for teams that use different weapon types. Perhaps you could even throw in a rainbow warrior accolade for those that use multiple weapons in their build as a compensation for the teasing???

The last thing we want is to encourage rainbows...

Either that or nerf NPC HPs. Seriously, there's just not enough DPS already, rainbows just makes it worse.

If you want to have luck involved in eSTF grinds, at the very least make the success rate better so that even idiots can complete them. This is an mmo the majority of the players are idiots so if you don't pander to them you're gonna get a lot of whining.

And we the veterans with 3x more brains and mono-color builds get an aneurysm. :s
