Hello everyone,

I am currently thinking about a "plasma dhc cannon / plasma torpedo hybrid" build for my avenger since i cant come up with any other good ideas

The rear weapons will be 2 plasma turrets and an KCB.
On front i am thinking about putting 2 plasma dhcs, the omega plasma torp launcher, the romulan hyper-plasma torpedo launcher AND a plasma torpedo launcher.
So overall it would be 2 plasma dhcs, 2 plasma turrets, the KCB and those 3 torpedo launchers which will be supported by 3 projectile doffs.

Do you think having those 3 torp launchers make any sense or ill they "block" themselfes? The omega launcher does not get affected by the projectile doffs but the others do.

Thanks for your replies,

Wesstan

I would not recommend 3 torpedoes and I don't generally recommend one on the aft, nor cannons on a cruiser for that matter! But if you're experimenting, that's up to you, the Romulan Hyper-Plasma is pretty good anyway, shouldn't need any other torps and I've never been a fan of the Omega one.

Plasma weapons, take a look at the Romulan reputation ones or the fleet ones, they could serve you better

I agree with Three here.. If you want to try it I'd recommend common items to see if the cool down timing is workable before dropping cash on the doffs and higher quality items.

For the plasma weapons, you'll get more mileage from Romulan rep turrets than the fleet variants. For my plasma cannon builds, I run plasma dhc crth3, with Romulan crth2 turrets in rear. Best of both worlds (thanks to a good tip from Dark).

Thank you for the responses so far With strategic maneuvering ad rcs consoles i can easily make it a working build for frontal weapons (and i have 5 of them ) Ofcourse it wouldnt be turning fast enough for PvP but thats not my type anyway

As for energy type: Yes, Romulan Plasma is my way to go I am not looking for pure dps but more for the fun of the combination: just enough energy weapon power to bring down shields and torpedo power to bring down even the biggest structures

Now i only need to decide between a "2 torpedoes" or "3 torpedoes" variant.

The 2 torpedoes variant would be the omega plasma launcher (which does not get affected by the projectile doffs) and the romulan hyper-plasma launcher which CD (8sec) gets reduced by a chance of 3x20% by 5 secs everytime it fires. i dont think i can go wrong with that. that combination SHOULD fire a plasma torpedo every 1 or 2 seconds.

Now i dont want it to fire every 1 OR 2 seconds. I want a torpedo every possible second (as far as i understand there is a global cd of 1 sec for all torpedoes). Thats why i think another "casual" plasma torpedo launcher would be nice. It does get affected by the projectile doffs aswell and shares a cd of 5secs with the hyper-plasma. It would double the chances of the projectile doffs to shorten the cds of both.

What do you think?

The last time I paid attention to torp boats, the Omega torpedo launcher should trigger Projectile DOffs even if it doesn't benefit from it.

If you put the Rom Hyper Plasma Torp left of the Omega launcher, the RHP should fire, then if it's not available in one second, the Omega will start launching. Each time the Omega fires a torp it should have a chance of triggering the DOffs, so in theory just those two launchers combined should give you a constant stream of torpedoes.

If they patched it so that Omega torps no longer even triggers the cooldown, then the 3rd torpedo may be necessary. I'd try it with two and see the results, then add the 3rd if you're not happy.
