Phaser Quad Cannons Dmg X3

Posted on by

(by @minerk, thx a lot)

From it's stats out it is a Dual Cannon with one inert extra Dmg modifier and the ability to sport one CrtX modifier (it's reengineerable, uses cannon amplifications like Rapid Fire, only one can be equipped per loadout). And while it fires 4 visible tracers, only 2 hit instances per 4 tracers are produced though, same as many as Dual Cannons per their 2 tracer shots. New Dmg mod and Quad Cannons Call me stubborn, but I didn't want to give up on my quad cannons even after being told that they were borderline trash. Now with the Dmg mod revamp, will the Dmgx4 make this a true contender? Terran Task Force Phaser Dual Heavy Cannons mk XV (Epic) Best Phaser Cannons in the game Prolonged Engagement Dual Phaser Cannons mk XV (Epic) Yes I run PuGs, so they do actually ramp up! Phaser Quad Cannons mk XV CrtD/Dm Dmgx3 CrtX I like the CrtX mod, and I chose for damage cause I was too lazy to re-engineer.

Hi everyone,

  • Superior Command Frequency (Command Spec, Discount version if you don’t have anything else to use)

Gear:

Weapon mods as always, crtd or dmg, epic mod: crtd/dm. Pen is good too if you’re using crafted weapons.
Other gear used: Colony deflector, Competitive Impulse Engine, Discovery Reputation Warp Core and Shield.

Cannons:

Weapons used: Quad Phaser Cannons, Prolonged Dual Cannons, Terran Task Force Dual Heavy Cannon, Targeting or Sensor-Linked Phaser Heavy Cannons, Trilithium Turret, Gamma Rep Turret, Targeting or Sensor-Linked Turret

Weapons used Advanced Piezo Polaron Plasma Cannon, Altamid Plasma DHC/DC, Altamid 3 piece and Biomatter Turret (Lobi).

Weapons used are Terran Task Force DHC, Spiral Wave DHC/DC, Targeting Linked Omni+Turrets.


Instead of Competitive Engine and Discovery 2 piece you could use a Combat Impulse Engine [Spd]x4, a Deuterium Stabilized Core (both crafting) and the Crystal Matrix Shield (Episode: Para Pacem) or a regenerative or resilient elite fleet shield. In addition, Locator Consoles could be used instead of Colony Consoles or even for the first start normal Polaron Phase Modulator consoles. Cannons are from Lukari Rep, 2x Dominion DC (reward from 2600er story arc), Morphogenic Set from Gamma Quadrant Arc, Turrets from Gamma reputation.

Beams:

A basic beam boat with a Terran Taskforce and 5 Advanced Phaser arrays. The Wide Angle DBB offers a bit more damage for you forearc. If you just want to broadside, take a 6th advanced array.

This is an example of a beam overload build with 4 Spiral Wave Disruptors and the Disruptor Wide Angle Dual Heavy Beam Bank. Sadly you can’t use a third omni-beam, so a beam array has to do the job. The Terran Task Force Beam array can also be used as a front weapon. If you want to use a different energy type you may put a torpedo into the 3rd aft slot just to get a set bonus. Sadly three Lobi consoles and the DPRM make this build quite expensive.Â

Beams and Torpedo:

Quite identical to the beam boat, just with a Dark Matter Torp. You could also use 2 more DBBs and a 2nd (crafted) omni for more forward firepower.

The ships can be used for any faction and profession.
