SO ... The "Prolonged" stuff is now a 3-pc set.
First the Phaser - currently the second most-powerful space pew pew in the game. Then a "meh" console. And now a Torp.
Let's discuss if it's worth it

The torp sounds absolutely awesome imo (Of course I'm a torp fan) it's a wide angle photon that has a 20% chance to proc +10 armor pen for 8 seconds...and it increase it's own haste by up to 15%...then the 3 piece bonus sounds like it could be devastating in long term battles.

So, the console is a poor man's replacement for the awesomeness that was the Plasmonic leech before it got nerfed to hell. The torp sounds like it could be useful for sci torp builds, especially if photon is your particular flavour of vodka. Two piece power is kinda good for the Boff cooldown. It may be worth slotting the torp into my build just for the cooldown. I believe that Timberwolf is creating a youtube video about it so I may wait until I've seen his take on it before investing in a whole load of phoenix upgrades.

Excellent posts!
These also reflect my initial impressions as well. I got the Torp and bumped it to Mk XV last night and plan to give it a shot today for a round or four.

I'll probably grab the phaser this time round and then torpedo next time, I just hope the weather holds on not being hot over the weekend so I can get the other 2 tokens I need <3

is the phaser worth it to replace a crafted [pen] mk xv phaser? Only have two characters that run phasers, and would possibly replace one of those on the TOS engineer (DSC runs sensor linked on her Scryer, will keep those)

The prolonged energy weapon is solid.(both dc/beam)
I don't have the console.
The torpedo seems to be really solid on paper. 180 degrees, photon, haste, extra damage.
And, as the usual (with no modesty) I'm one step ahead of the new meta : Energy builds with a torp - the new dps meta.
I remember when I dropped the Embassy Plasma consoles... and two weeks later, they got nerfed. I switched to cannons and CSV got buffed. I'm either highly inspired or simply this game encourages fun and diversity in builds step by step. I'd go with the last one.

Has anyone meddled with the console? Is it worth taking? Or should I stick to the amazing weaponry and its 7.5 cd reduction to bridge officer skills?

Up to now I've been using it for 2-piecing with the phaser weapon on my phaser-oriented builds, but I can say with confidence that I had never used the clicky (didn''t seem worth it to spend the accumulated power). But I think I'll be trying it out now. Might be good for those times when one is going to be wailing on a target for a little while (Khitomer Vortex comes to mind).
