A Guide to the Weapon Types of Space Combat

In regards to tetryons if you wnat to inrease their shield drain, equip flow capacitor science consoles. they increase all drains.

Be advised that in the current state of the game, all shield draining abilities are weakened by the insanse resistante to that effect that power insulators give.

I ran Tets for a long time, and have been playing to switching back to them on my sci, since I'm not carriering it up. What's your build look like (including power settings)?

There's a list of the Tac Consoles at http://www.stowiki.org/Tactical_Consoles - one of the reasons, if you read the official forums, everyone hates on rainbow and skittle boats is because the energy-specific consoles add a higher percentage of base damage (the cap on the Prefire Chamber at Mk XII is circa Mk VII.5 for a Plasma Infuser).

Basically, it comes down to pick your favorite weapon (base on proc effect or favorite color) and get the consoles for it. If you're using a mix of zappers and projecticles, the public sentiment is to use the energy-specific consoles, not the projectile ones.

The sets consoles - http://www.stowiki.org/Set - all affect the weapons, too. The Ferengi console bought with Lobi only matters if you're making a torpedo boat or mine boat. The other three - the Borg and Romulan Rep modules, and the Time Lobi module - all add chance to crit (and two affect crit damage).

Either that or its slow going.
