where it shines, and has a deep drawback is with torp abilities. spread is a bit useless on it other then for dealing with npcs as part of an aoe PVE build. but the HY projectile actually has hitpoints, 4k of them, and can survive a few TBR hits, a fair amount of often missing weapons fire, a PSW, all sorts of stuff. its the most reliable to hit heavy projectile yet, and tends to deal around 30k damage to other players if it hits hull.

the MAJOR downside to this though is every time you use a torpedo ability, or exhaust all the charges, there is a 10 second cooldown before you can fire again at all. so if you use a torp ability every 15 seconds, it will almost never be able to do what its best at, have actual dps and fire rapidly. if you want to use spread, a standerd torp would be beter frankly, and fire more often. the HY projectile is nice though

they best part is you can disintegrate ships borg command ship style. even an unbuffed torp can, and i almost suspect that if your at a low enough % hull, it will instantly disintegrate someone. im pretty sure a shield impact on a very near death target vaped them, when the torps damage alone, through shields, should not have. ive seen this multiple times now, and think i heard a dev float the idea a month ago before all this launched

I also had a DOFF question, do you think the Nigulan bridge officer who according to STOwiki does: Chance to reduce the time for any subsystem targeting attack to recharge after use/20% chance: Improve recharge time by 30 sec, Chance to reduce recharge time on Cannon Rapid Fire and Cannon Volley is worth picking up?

Wanted to use the Omega torp as a rear launcher, but I will probably just use a regular torp with acc modifiers...

Thanks for your help!

this is the most dangerous non DHC capable cruiser in STO. it is not a spike killer, but it can deals so much damage over time it almost seems like it is. under the right circumstances, and the right buffs stacked, your enemies will melt in about the time it takes for CRF to end. being such a gradual damage dealer, its damage can evaporated in the sea of cross heals, the number 1 limiting factor to dps cruiser effectiveness. but when it deals dps unhindered, its does so in a big way.

combat logs from a good long match, really got to put it through its paces. over 2000 dps, more then 10k swings, over 1000 crits, and a total of more then 2 million damage.

phasers- they turn off subsystems, always handy. but it doesn't deal spiky enough damage to really make a shield proc hurt like it would if DHCs were being used

disrupters- with its hull defense debuff proc, DEM's damage would be enhanced

tetryon- shield damage proc buffed by flow caps, works great with tet glider

polaron- proc buffed by flow caps, lots and lots of pol procs can be devastating, even deactivate subsystems if you get lucky

plasma- actually has synergy with EWP, plasma tac consoles buff the plasma damage it does. use EWP3 as much as possible to make up for the reduced damage it does to anyone using STF shields

antiproton- criting single cannons arent going to hurt that much more then normal. your better off with anything else with several acc mods
