    1) The Ba'ul weapons get a ricochet no matter what. Add the 2-piece, they get a second ricochet. If you run any other [Ap]s, they gain a single ricochet from the 2-piece. I was running bone-stock [Ap] weapons, so the added double bounce was worth the switch for me.

    2) It's a 50% [Dmg] boost for 30 seconds and undebuffing, with a 2 minute cooldown. I don't worry about such things because I have many undebuffing things already, and like I said, I don't chase the DeePS.

    You don't HAVE to run the torp (or any of the Ba'ul set, for that matter). Plug in the Omni and the console and give them a whirl. I run the torp and Torp Spread III, and all of those lovely bouncing red dots look like the most over-the-top multi-ball pinball machine in the Universe. 😁😎

    This is what my guns do. So you have some numbers.

    I didn't realize they will get a second chance to chain, that makes sense. I don't have the lobi reward yet so couldn't test the set bonus yet.

    I always forget what the limitations are for how many omni or turrets in crafted vs reward you are allowed to run together. It looks like you have 2 Ba'ul Turrets. Does that mean I can slot more than 1 Ba'ul Omni?

    No. You get one Ba'ul Lobi Store Omni.

    Also, it's not a CHANCE to chain, they chain 100% of the time. With the 2-piece and the Ba'ul weapons, they chain twice -- 100% of the time.

    My Turrets are normal turrets. If you look at the Wide-Arc DHC and the torp, they say "Cannot equip more than 1 of this item". The Omni is the same way. From what I understand, set Omnis cannot be paired with other set Omnis. BUT, drop in a normal [Ap] Omni and the Ba'ul Omni and the Ba'ul console... and the normal [Ap] Omni gets a single ricochet. If you're running 3 weapons across the back, add the Kinetic Cutting Beam and get a 360 degree mini-torpedo. Add in some Colony [Kinetic][Antiproton] TAC consoles, and you're golden.

    Right now I have a ship in inventory that has the Ancient Omni-Directional Antiproton Beam Array (nope, it's a regular [Ap] Omni), the Kinetic Cutting Beam, and the Ba'ul Linked Sentry Anti-proton Omni equipped in the aft slots.

    CxH43nI

    --- UPDATE ---
    Ooh! There's a non-Lobi version of the Ba'ul Omni. It doesn't count toward the set bonus, but it's nice to know they're out there. The recharge time of the standard Omni is 1 sec instead of the Lobi's 0.5 sec. I wonder if both can be loaded at the same time? I would say... Probably not. But I'm not spending 160 million EC to find out.

    This is what I am doing now. I have crafted AP Omni, Ancient AP Omni and KCB. I will replace the Ancient AP with the Ba'ul.

    You have been so helpful - thank you!!!

    The two Ba'ul omni's CAN be used at the same time. The Lobi omni counts as the set omni, while the other Ba'ul omni from the lockbox and the exchange counts as a non-set omni.

    Thanks for the info. I'm still not going to switch to beams, but it's nice to know I could load them onto a shuttle.

    So I got the 1000 lobi but I'm not sure what to spend it on. What are some of the best options? Most fun options? Not sure if I should get a ship to sell, a ship with a good console, or a good ship, or consoles. I do have some consoles like the BIC and Tachy Converter on my main. Any tips or suggestions?
    Wait for lobi discount day, just my opinion, so you can buy more for your crystals worth... as they are hard to obtain.

    The new space set seems kinda cool imo but I can see why people wouldn't like it (the torp is absolutely awesome for mixed torp builds)

    The phase pistol is pretty nice and if I recall it has pretty dang high dps

    But he is such a tease...he could be talking about the future future.

    Ok ... after getting my Ba'ul set and all the consoles I wanted, I still have 240 Lobi and the sale on console ends next week. So, I was debating getting ground weapons for my away team and if not, maybe a uniform.

    Is there a Lobi ground weapon that really stands out as so good that you would outfit your entire away team with it if you could? I'm going to stay away from the Herald staff because I just don't want my Starfleet away team all running around with magic staffs but I am open to any other suggestions.

    I don't think that worth it to spend Lobi for Bridge Officer's weapons. Either get a uniform for your character or keep them for something that will be put in the future and upgrade your build.

    That's a fair point. I will likely save them because I don't think I would use any of the uniforms anyway. What about getting the Discovery Phaser Rifle for my captain? I keep hearing it's the best weapon in the game but obviously I have never been able to try it myself. Is it really that good? Is the DPS noticeably better? I'm currently just using the Seven of Nine Tetryon dual rifles.

    The Seven of Nine Tetryon dual rifles are great though if you run the mission prior to them adding them you will have also picked up a Phaser that was basically for all intents and purpose the same phaser under a different name.
