    Probably sounds like a silly question but I'm building out my romulan warbird captain with some more 'serious' equipment and I was wondering which is the preferred pick, the Colony world Elite Protomatter singularity core or the Spire's Thoron Infused cores, personally I figured getting bonus power was the better option but I'm not as steeped in the numbers as some of you guys.

    I'm a big fan of the Thoron Infused ability of -15% Weapon Power Cost myself, but I do think I need to at least take a look at the Protomatter ability. I run the Fed version of it along with the Elite World Satellite for a total of -40% Weapon Power Cost. Cool

    Personally I’d recommend getting a fleet spire Plasma integrated core for the EPS bonuses. I personally run this core Elite Fleet Plasma-Integrated Warp Core [AMP] [ECap] [Eff] [SSS] [W->A] [W->S] on my builds, i’m not overly impressed with the colony or thoron infused equipment.

    I also don’t recommend slotting the Priors world satellite as I feel its a waste of console slot compared to other far better consoles you can slot.

    Sadly, there's no Plasma-Integrated equivalent for Singularity cores. The bonuses are split into the Thoron and Protomatter cores.

    This thread has just reminded me that I don't know what core I'm using now that I'm in the Donnie instead of a warbird, hrm.

    Bridger recommended me the Thoron-infused singularities from the Spire and the one I got seems to be well worth the price. I don't usually worry about weapon power as my main builds are torp boats, but anything that reduces power usage from the small amount my energy weapon set pieces use is worth it imo. Especially seeing as warbirds come with lower power levels anyway, every saved % of energy is a bonus.

    Sorry yeah Solace if I could I'd run a warp core.

    Is the main thing I need to look at is the modifiers not the actual basic core abilities themselves?

    I concur with Bridger's recommendation, that's the core I mainly use for energy based weapon builds, if I was doping a torp build i might be using something else
