You like ICONIAN GEAR? Then check out the prize for Part 3 of Event Campaign 2024 | Star Trek Online 

Correction: I said in the video buying out the video gets you 20 days worth of progress for the Event Campaign. That is in correct, it gives you 2 weeks (14 days) of progress. Sorry about that, brain fart moment (this is what happens when i wake up at 3am and immediately start recording).

The worst part of the Omni restrictions is that they treat them as the equivalent of turrets in the set designs and equivalent of wide arcs everywhere else, then limit you to a single set omni. Thus beam builds cannot take full advantage of multiple sets that coexist just fine for cannon builds. I know it is not much of an issue at the high end but it is really obnoxious for newer players or lower end builds!

How to fix omni-beams: remove the maximum limit, but make them rear weapons only. This also makes 5/3 and 4/4 ships now equivalent, as far as beam array energy builds are concerned - slight edge for 4/4 ships because you could have 4 omni trilihium phasers. Cannon builds still won't like 4/4 as much, but oh well.

My ideas of wepon changes. As said for Omni only restriction if any should be rear only wepon. Wide arc cannons no restriction but put them near dual beam banks Wide dual beam to few of them to rly tell but I think no restrictio outsiede one per set Single cannons should be buffted to be equivalent to narrow beam from Connie III, even proton experimental wepon. That way broadside build can have choise. Maybe adding weaker version of spinal lance as 45° beam? With bufff to FaW could be on par to CSV and you can go beam or cannos more for prefrance than performance.

I like that LCARS Galaxy specs diagram on your wall. 😮

Haha, I wonder if the devs have been watching me use Graviton Spike in melee ground combat videos? :D That Risa kit is REALLY useful. ANY weapon hit triggers it, including swords. And then it yanks people into stabbing range.

Wide arc Dual Anti-proton cannons? My prayers have been answered (also the bonk mace is also cool) Also happy slightly early birthday STU!

I quite like the sound of Herald weapons too. On melee build I love them. On my purpose built Gorn (using Disco Rep handheld melee weapon) he can absolutely tear through Elite content. I've had a 30,000 hit with a primary punch!

With that mace, I might have an easier time getting the KDF campaign achives for melee kills.

I have grown to accept the only two omnis but i wish they would at least take the other limit where i can only have one of a type of omni cause it screws up some of my sets.

The last time, i've used herald antiproton weapon on standard Odyssey Class using iconian sets they also boost bonus damage.

surprisingly I am going after 2 Iconian ships in this year's event campaign for the PS version of STO, the Vonph and Baltim for this year so this suits me just fine

Hopefully Deca will look at some of the crazy decisions cryptic has made over the years and change them (not likely but one can hope) I like the rewards for this event sadly the premium ship reward for completing the over all event doesn't hold much interest to me since the one ship I want to get for the console isn't in that rewards box it's strictly a epic token reward and I'd have a better chance of winning big at a casino then getting an epic token to drop so I'll likely just grab the shrike since I missed that event.

Thank you so much for this information both rewards look really cool. I wish I had a theme for the mace weapon.

You are spot-on about the omni beam.

Stu1701, Yay! I liked this video so much, it made me smile!

At last, a melee weapon large enough and worthy of my 8'7 Gorn (that isn't a Bat'leth, I feel like those are just for Klingons).

I need the 700 for the buyout & another 23 days of progress to complete this years campaign. I'm getting impatient to get the E2 for a toon of mine. SS phaser broadsides E2, so much promise, could be a dedicated elite tfo toon.

I'm working on an Ba'ul Antiproton tank. And the lockbox Ba'ul Omni is 275 million. Yeah. And I'm buying out the event so I can get the prizes early, lol. Yeah the Omni restriction for 'game balance' is just stupid. We have people doing DPS runs racking up millions of points. _Millions!_ Three Omni's aren't going to change anything.

I am playing a crazy Iconian-Gorn flying a Vonph Dreadnought. Let's just say I like this reward

Add this with the new dyson ships and we are getting spoiled, tbh the herald weapons look better with dyson ships then any other ship

Will Tos era t6 constutution, d7 and romulan dlere be avaible to purchase with the coupons?

Still no mission/event Plasma Omni. 😢

I just see them as something not vanilla anti proton. I dont get things out of the lobi store, lobi crystals cost money and I do not always have money to drop into this game. My only wide arc anti proton heavy canons are just the vanilla ones. not to mention the lobi I do have I was saving up for a ship

I want wide angle cannons

I want to apologize to you Stu, I was very critical in my comments to you, your right, you work with what you got, and that is enough. I am sorry about my comments, I have deleted them, the critique wasn’t intended to hurt or upset, but it did just that. Again my apologies. 😢

We want antiproton quad cannons damnit

first, there is one other omni that can be considered a third, and that's the borg kinetic cutting beam array from the omega reputation store. and there was a point when you could use your 2 omnis, that borg beam, and a crafted omni beam, but that was nerfed recently, very quietly. and that actually pisses me off, considering the devs created that stupid jellyfish so that people can literally do nothing while the jelly emits a 40 mile bubble that kills everything on site, and then say that too many omni's make you lazy. and speaking of crafting; i spent about 2 years upgrading all my craft levels up to 15, only to find that crafted items have little value, or it doesn't give you special privileges like re-engineering certain items, and i think that sucks. really is a letdown on the whole system, since it has no value. also good video

omni-envy!

Remember: Beams hit nearly instantly, canon weapons don't. This small fact must not be overlooked. From a developer's point of view, it's a huge factor. You can expect beam damage to be slightly nerfed if restrictions are removed. Think like a game dev, not a player. There's logic behind Cryptic's methods... Most of the time. lol

I shall be buying out this event because i hate Iconian Tfos with an undying passion

Restrictions to max 2 aft turrets incomming 😂
