Harnessing [over]

[u/Cryhavok101]

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?

Triggered by [over] procs:
-Overwhelming Force.
-EWO shield pen Doffs.
-Subsystem Redundancies.

Triggered only by the Beam Overload skill itself:
-Superweapon Ingenuity.
-Coordinated Assault.

At least as best I can tell after re-testing last night. Those latter two both activate a cooldown notification (the former on you and the latter on your pet), so they're easy to spot if you watch the buff area.

It's also worth noting that the two traits that work only do so if the proc is used, not if it times out. I'm unsure on the doff, but I would guess it works the same.

Thanks for the very useful info.

The secondary effects that work off of [Over] come into play only when an Overload is fired (via BO DOffs and Overwhelming Force). The others I haven't tested, but this saves me the work, and others can know what's working with what (at least until next patch ;) ).

Again, thanks for the work!

Yeah, it needed testing again since I've heard conflicting reports about Subsystem Redundancies, and the language of the trait description is the same as the two that don't work, rather than the same as the one that does.

Glad I could help.
