Overview [ | ]
Beam Arrays are directed energy starship weapons dealing damage to a single target (2 targets while Beams: Fire at Will is active) within a 250° base targeting arc (widens to 360° for Beam Arrays with [Arc] modifier). They deal the maximum damage when 2km or closer to the target, although they can still deal some damage that decreases with distance up to their maximum 10km range (distance damage penalty can be mitigated by improving captain's Long-Range Targeting Sensors skill). Beam Arrays can be mounted in both the fore and aft sections of a starship. Beam Arrays have a much wider targeting arc than Dual Beam Banks , but have a lower damage potential. Beam Arrays are standard space weapons, and all newly acquired starships come with at least one.

Procs are bad in STO, this is should be no different. edit: and thinking on it, I'm sure there's some 2 piece that has a turret that with your dmg mods adding to the turrets damage and the 2 piece bonus it'll come out ahead of the KCB even with no firing mode support. So I'd say the KCB on a DBB ship still prolly wouldn't be worth running.

Activating this console deploys a Borg Generator, which uses a cutting tractor beam to harvest technology from enemy ships. This tractor beam deals significant Kinetic Damage over 30 seconds.

Two special Universal Consoles can be acquired in the Borg Lock Box: the Cutting Tractor Beam and the Retrofitted Assimilator. The Retrofitted Assimilator enables your ship to fire a Quantum Torpedo laced with Borg nano-probes. The nano-probes attempt to assimilate the enemy vessel under your control.

A long time ago I was told the Kinetic cutting beam from the Omega Rep ignores shields and does hull damage. Recently, I was told by someone else that the Kinetic cutting beam is pretty much useless as long as it is hitting shields, and only begins to do any real damage after the shield has dropped.
Turrets have the lowest DPS of any weapons . The only way to get a turret to do more DPS than the KCB would be by adding turret-specific BOff abilities (since the KCB does not benefit from Beam BOff abilities), but that would involve reducing the DPS of every other beam on the ship (by replacing a more useful BOff ability), meaning a lower ...

There's other variations in the video below. There's different colors for the same damage type if you are trying to match colors.
The kinetic cutting beam is actually a great weapon if you use it right. Like on a science torpedo build. I'm mystified as to what you mean, because most science skills have built in 100% shield pen, as do the secondary effects from the Gravimetric and Particle Plasma torpedoes... plus science ships usually run at low weapons power.

Basically the topic - is the Borg Kinetic Cutting Beam affected by consoles that give +Beam Weapon Damage bonuses? I'm debating on grabbing like one Vulnerability Locator MK XII [+Beam] just for boosting my KCB, and getting the others in the weapon type I use (all of which are better than the blue MK XI ones I have now).

There's pretty much no reason why you WOULDN'T want a kinetic cutting beam. 360 degree arc and respectable DPS, certainly more DPS than a turret. And because it's a kinetic weapon, once your opponent's shields drop, you're doing CONSIDERABLE damage to their hull, especially considering the fact that it's a 360-arc weapon.
The Directed Energy Distribution Manifold is a Tactical Console that adds a bonus to your starship beam weapon damage. It affects most beam weapons regardless of damage type. (However, it does not affect the Borg Kinetic Cutting Beam.) See also: Fleet Tactical Consoles Bellum and Pax variants of this console can be obtained from the Discovery Legends reputation system. These increase the Beam ...
Yes, they are simply named differently. #1. cap-boulanger Feb 11 @ 7:04pm. yes. All (well, almost all*) energy weapons are considered to be either a beam or a cannon. * the Morphogenic set has a convertible weapon, the Kinetic Cutting Beam isn't affected by either type, and the Dyson Proton Weapon is just weird. #2.

Most people don't, no. But if you do use it 100% get the assimilated module (which is good regardless). The 2-piece set bonus decent, but unless you're already using the KCB it's not worth shooting for. If you're already using though, it's great and the console is amazing. The console is actually good to use even on its own.
