If you're running a dread, chimera, or vesta, go phaser since phaser relay tactical consoles will boost phaser lance, phaser lotus, and quantum phaser focus.
If you're running Guramba or Pegh'qu heavy destroyer, go disruptor since disruptor coil tactical consoles will boost javelin and disruptor lotus attacks.
If you have a Jem'Hadar Bug, go polaron since the Jem'Hadar set boosts damage and gives a 1% buff stripping proc.
So the correct answer is this: choose the weapon type that best fits your chosen ship.

As a result, Standard Impulse will still fall behind Hyper-Impulse when the piloting captain runs a high power build like I do. I notice this immediately by simply switching between engine types while maintaining the same power level presets. However, keep in mind that all of my systems run 50+ minimum power (all except for Aux, which sits in the mid-40's). May I ask what profession and build spec you are using? Are you hitting defense caps with your current engines? My tactical captain runs a high-power build, and my ships always run at 70.8% defense cap. I routinely out-agro other escort players in STF's despite having zero points in Threat Control / Generation. We can still run a simple speed test if you like... same engines, power presets, etc, and no batteries. |
As for hitting the defense cap, I believe it caps out at about 20 speed units. I routinely hit 22-24.
