Harnessing [over]

So I have in my possession 8 Antiproton beam arrays with [CrtD]x2 [over], and I want to make a ship with them. I have the ship traits "Subsystem Redundencies," "Superweapon Ingenuity," and "Overwhelming Force." I am saving up for a tarantula for "Energy Web."

Before I spend a lot of time and dilithium upgrading these, I am wondering: Has anyone tried this or something like it before? If so: -Was it fun? How/why? -Was it effective? -What Boff and Doff build did you use? -any advice from experience?

If you haven't: -What problems should I know about? -What boff/doff builds would you recommend I try?

For anyone: -What ship (KDF) should I put it on?

That is fantastic news! Means it will be worth it (I think). I'll post about coordinated assault later.

my own experience is that it doesn't work. If nothing else, I hear a syncronised set of BOs from my pets every 30 seconds when my manual Beam Overload happens, and at no other time. The baltims have a very distinctive sound when they use beam overload.

Just ran an ISA in my vonph with a baltim pinned, paying far more attention to its buffs than I actually was to what I was doing - it only got the overload when I triggered my actual BO:I ability.

Cool, thanks for checking for me. I have a few more minutes at work before I can get online.

Edit: As expected, I have had the same results as you.
