I was playing a Romulan earlier and I had 2 Heavy plasma on a Raptor. I was firing one at a time to look at them. 4 instances I saw 3 plasma torps come out? Why is it Roms have volley on the most powerful weapon in the game? Or is this the way it...just looks. Which I doubt since it did not happen everytime.

Its really just a pretty graphic, Beer. It only hits with 125% damage, and that is only if all three hit.

In order for the feds to be able to volley their torps, someone else would have to have that same ability, right? I've noticed that of those volleys usually only 1/3 (i.e. ONE TORP) will hit anyway.

Well thats odd...I have seen a Fed volley maybe 5 times since I have played with the new patch. I have seen a Rom volley 4 times in one game. Tell me how this is counterbalanced? Just so we are clear...the fed ship had Leg officers.

That what I posted a while back. The Triple fire rate was drop from 50% to15% in the beta patch. In reality, I think it's much lower. With a Sov with 4 Quantum. I would say that on average, I would fire the Quantums from 3 to 10 times per battle depending on the number of opponents (this is against AI, probably more against human). Out of that 12 to 40 shots, I would see maybe 1-2 triples. Definately not the 2-6 that the 15% suggest and there were short battles that I didn't even see a single triple. Are you saying that the Rom are getting close to the old triple rates? I really hope that they make the Triple rate/Damage mod admin adjustable and preferably by race.

Here is the movie look at it for yourself.

They turned the volley fire rate down. It is very unusual to see more than on or two in a game now. I played with a SOV that had 6 quantums and I must have fired them 20 times (120 torps) in a game without a single multi-volley. I have seen the same thing tho. Roms seem like it happens more often for them, I don't now why.

We Rommies got our wish, we are now the most twinkiest race in SFC3 at the moment

We can rip off half of the hull from nearly every ship we face with our insane plasmas, and cleverly conceal ourselves with little chance of being detected!

Best of all, since we're not the Blue Plague, no one will object! God it's good to be Rommie!

Erm, right. So I take it, seeing as the Roms are so good now, anything goes in ship configuration? I really do have some nice ubber designs Ive been keeeping under my hat.
