Haha. I'm running Phasers in my Qin & my Hegh'ta.

I figure if it's okay to use Quantum, Transphasic, and Chroniton torpedos, it's okay if I use Phasers.

Oh if I had enough phaser weapons, I would use them. That proc is nasty

Between the weapons & the consoles, all I've got is kind of crap, mind you. Some Mk X rares, uncommon & common Mk XIs, an a common Mk XII. It's not the best by far, but I still use them.

If only we had things like the Phased Polarons (too bad it's only a Dual Cannon) or the Plasma-Disruptor Hybrid DHCs with the Phaser damage thingy, then it would be easier to gear up.

Would be nice if we could Kraft such Hybrid weapons.

What's your cannon to beam ratio?

I ended up dropping cannons on my last couple of runs and slotting in duals to compliment the beam arrays.

Fun to watch a BoP with Fire-at-Will. ... Just saying it makes a heck of a disco light-show as she spins so fast.

(BTW ... What is Klingon for "DISCO BALL" ? )

I always tend to run (2) cannons (1) DBB on most of my builds.
In a STF the Beam BoP concpet is fine as the NPCs rarely complain of the death spiral tactic.
In PvP I do not run a lot or all beams on my BoP due to the personal preference of how I dislike those escorts whom use all beams and then spiral just out of the turn radius to use them against a foe.
I'm a traditionislt and prefer cannons in PvP.

RE: Phasers & KDF

I did have Phasers on my D7CT Tournament Cruiser. --> SSD

I think Memory Alpha mentions Phasers on Klingon ships as well.

Dunno if they were ever in a movie or TV show though, so not strictly canon, I suppose.

maintain 5k on any ship and u can't get tractor tho

phased polaron and polaron weapons, mainly going for drain procs.

edit: I probably will rearrange my sci for more drain, but that is the current setup.
