How Many Omnis Can You Slot Which Ones - How To Guide - Star Trek Online

[@pragmaticeagle4832]

I remember learning this by accident. It's a great tip for newer players

[@Robotrik1]

As of late I have been replacing the Borg cutting beam with the Trilithium enhanced phaser Omni , or Omni + Turret . 2.5% + 2.5% @ 10% firing cycle haste seems better then the zero damage the cutting beam does against shielded targets , or the silly proc of the cutting beam + assimilated universal console . Glad to hear you're doing better !

[@ODST_Parker]

I really wish they'd relax this restriction for set pieces. No having omnis on literally every weapon slot, sure, but what would possibly be too overpowered about having two more (maximum) in the back? With cannons, you can stack many different sets with the use of dual cannons in the front and turrets in the back. On my Inquiry, I literally have 100% set piece weapons for my phaser build, and it's very powerful. Sadly, on my Dominion polaron builds, I'm limited to one set piece when there are three sets including omni-beams, which is a real shame.

[@expertsaucegaming]

Hell you can even put Turrets in evey slot on a ship both front and back

[@raijinmeister]

TL; DR You can only put one *non-set* Omni beam and one Omni beam from a set in your ship+ the Borg cutting beam because that one is not an energy weapon. Every time I see something about Omni beams I get mad at the devs for the lack of a rep/mission reward plasma omni beam. Fleet holdings should also be a source of those weapons as well. Good video I hope you get better soon.

[@Shapes_Quality_Control]

The Kelvin Divergence lock box has a Altamid Plasma Omni-beam and on the lobi store you can find a set specific Altamid omni. They are pretty strong.

[@KkevrockK]

lol, doesn’t matter what question I have about Sto I always end up at your video because you’ve answered it already! You are the single greatest asset to the game Stu! Thank you )

[@MCStu]

Lol thanks I appreciate that

[@TriZander07]

Glad to hear your feeling better sir 07... great vid as always!

[@MCStu]

Much appreciated

[@eclipsetrekker]

Haha you are correct, I'm new and I want Omnis everywhere!! Now I see that's not possible. Love your vids!

[@wewarren68]

I've always classified by 1) Single weapon (crafted, boxed), 2) Set weapon i.e. part of a set (Lobi, Mission, Reputation), and 3) Kinetic Cutting Beam.

[@Fosgate777]

I'm really happy to hear your feeling better! Your videos are always extremely helpful and the way you present them!

[@MCStu]

Thank you!

[@Jay-ql4gp]

Glad you're feeling better.

[@darthdragonborn1076]

Wish the devs would lift the restriction on omni beams. Id even be fine if it limits set omnis to 1 while everything else can be put onto a ship

[@tenalpoen]

Omni beams aren't even strong enough to justify the limitation since they nerfed FAW, but don't expect them to increase omni damage to match regular arrays any time soon. Or ever.

[@gjohnson84]

Thanks! I'm currently running ba'ul, crafted, and cutting beam.

[@ExplainyourselfEli]

Thanks i just got to this point in the game as a super casual player and had a ton of questions. This helped a lot. Thank you again

[@SuperomiNordestino]

that really helped me thanks

[@gallendugall8913]

I had a four beam omni back before they redid the rules, can still do three on my main, but don't because omnis aren't that great under most conditions. If you're running a very high speed build and can't maintain facings it's omnis and or turrets. Turrets can be goofy fun.

[@m.f.cauley9729]

Glad your better! Nice when you do a vid and I actually have all the gear, omni's in this case. Thx! Enjoying the fleet miracle ships Shepherd & Qugh with 3 'omnis' in back.

[@eliotanders3488]

Excellent video! I always wondered how the omnis break down as to what you can use together.

[@aidanmpearce4821]

Wish we could find a middle ground with the devs on this, like maybe box and lobi are still in the same category but rep/sets and crafted each become their own category so we can at least have 3 omnis... idk something along those lines would be better than having to pretend with the borg cutting beam.

[@Ken19700]

This has inspired me to do an antiproton build with three antiproton omni's.

[@Ken19700]

Update, you can't put the mission reward Ancient Omni-Directional Antiproton Beam Array on the same build as the Lobi Store Omni-Directional Ba'ul Antiproton Beam Array.

[@bojc21]

I always tough that they could add 3rd "type" Omni that is specialized in "support role", with buff or debuff that has 100% chance to apply. "Omni-Directional Tetryon Support Beam Array" deals less than normal damage and has 100% chance debuff build in, so its perfect candidate for this role. They could even make a new Reputation requisition omni that deals "Proton Damage" with Buff proc and i would be 100% fine with it.

[@l33790053]

Good video! I’ve always why I could equip some and not others

[@TheRealGraylocke]

Hey MCStu, there may be an exception to that with Anti-Proton, if you have the Ancient AP Omni from "Sphere of Influence" the first episode of the Solanae Dyson Sphere Arc. Not sure and not online to test it. Also the ancient AP omni and the ancient Warp Core from this mission makes for a nice 2 piece set. I think I've had this omni, a crafted one and the Ba'ul all loaded at once. I think. Been awhile.

[@maxrander0101]

the Ba'ul ones count in their own little sub group due to them being both lockbox and lobi

[@goontubeassos7076]

Thanks for your time and videos

[@lbryant2261]

This is one of the least complex explanations I've seen (and that's a good thing), but even you're making it more complex than it needs to be. It's easy: For Energy based 360 degree beam weapons (Omnis), you're allowed 1 Omni that is part of a set (says "Part of Set" in the tool tip) and 1 Omni that isn't part of a set. The Kinetic Cutting beam is not an energy based weapon, and that's why the rule doesn't apply to it.

[@ravoniesravenshir3926]

I have gotten 3 so far :3 If you use turrets you can get even more.

[@Valkyrie-ji8rv]

Im glad to hear your feeling better. Maybe a stupid question but I’m going to ask it - as I’m learning heaps by watching your videos but I’m still finding my way in this game. What is the best / easiest way to set up BOFF abilities to cover different builds (for example beam builds & torpedo/mine builds to name just 2). Do you have BOFFs trained in multiple abilities which you change depending on the starship build or do you have several BOFFs set up for particular builds & sub them for their particular starship build. Any help most welcome.

[@chromenuke5596]

Thumbs up. Get well soon !

[@metarukarakuri783]

Also there are some heavy turrets . II don't know if those do more damage or not.

[@franksherwood5511]

Might be a way to get four 360 degree weapons on a ship if you count experimental weapons and you need a set omni for a bonus (and that bonus would have to outweigh losing a DBB for a omni ). I think most experimental weapons have a 360 degree arc but I don't think there is a ship with 3 rear weapon slots and a experimental weapon slot. A setup like this would probably be a good start for a "Lazy Boat" Mark 3 though.

[@Cappy-qs6qn]

The Klein Temporal Destroyer has 3 rear slots and an experimental weapon slot, so i use crafted phaser, trilithium phaser, cutting beam and then voice of the prophets so 4 x 360 degree weapons.

[@Craig-xw9jq]

Stu - do you have any guides on what mission sets to slot as you build up to instances? I've got a bunch on my main - have a rough idea on what supports what build but clueless on what's the best for slot - nothing is worse than getting interested in the next part of the game and blowing chunks when your in it - anyway if you don't that's cool but just wanted to ask (as I couldn't see what I was looking for in you vid list). Thanks anyway mate.

[@lordkanesoulreaver]

i do wish you were able to use omni beams in all 8 slots at 1 time as thay are like turrits are to cannons

[@3d1stp3rs0n]

How is the situation with plasma damage, I have the altamid omni and the box/ crafted. Could I combine it with the ferenginar, viridian, or assimilated omnis from lock boxes?

[@wargodsix]

With the new omni from protostar does that now make 4

[@wolfjarlgrbane5771]

So I can add a crafted Anti Proton crafted Omni with my Set Anti Proton Omni. Can I put one in front and one in aft or aft only?

[@Ace_Berlyn]

Idk if anyone has said ir, but omnis and beam arrays use different "points" on the ship. When i started i though having multiple would be nice, but leanred a probably three months later that they use separate "points" or "plots". So i assumed maybe that was why they limit it. Turrets do the same tho, so idk... but having an almost purple beam using a tetryon and the ancient omnis has made me thing its weird

[@goku546686]

Hey can we do another video on this the winter event gave us 4 omni we can equip at a time with the new Breen omni

[@davidhenry5191]

Feel Better Dude

[@KYPT0KNIGHT]

I just got back on Star Trek Online and noticed that my two omni beams on my ship were blacked out but they still seem to be working. Trying to figure out what's up

[@Rau-Le-Creuset]

I tried to make the equipment but apparently we can't put three now too bad it looked good 😅

[@Darth1Marik]

I wasn't a huge fan of the Kinetic cutting beam since shields reduce Kinetic damage by what was it? 60%? or was it 70%? This means since the cutting beam does kinetic damage shields will effectively reduce its damage significantly which is what happened when I put it into a build. It definitely rips up ships though once those shields are down. I run an all phaser build tho so it doesn't benefit from increased damage from my consoles.

[@KalijahAnderson]

The Omni restriction make not sense in this game. I can get just as much DPS out of turrets as I can Omnis and the turrets don't have these nuts restrictions.

[@OrdinarilyBob]

Thank you.

[@beavertonfrontdesk7610]

i use 3 Omnis on 5/3 ships kinetic cutting ancient omni and 1 crafted or box

[@brianknowles5406]

What category are omni's in for crafting?

[@MCStu]

Beams at level 15

[@brianknowles5406]

Thank you, been steady leveling it up, but haven't gotten there yet.

[@jfbrko290]

I still honestly don't understand why I can't slot the morphogenic energy weapon and the gamma reputation polaron omni on the same ship at the same time. That is something that has always irritated me like, why should the source matter as long as you aren't putting two of the exact same item on your ship. Like, I get it- I shouldn't be able to slot two kinetic cutting beams on my ship at the same time nor 2 gamma rep polaron omnis

[@DumpsterDivingDuck]

What is the difference between Omni's and turrets?

[@Robotrik1]

There is no limits to how many turrets you can put on a ship . Also, turrets go a lot less damage then Omnis , and are generally only used if they are a part of a weapon/console set, or if they have a beneficial secondary proc .

[@nolgroth]

Omni's are considered "Beam" weapons and are affected by things like Beam Overload or Fire at Will, along with Beam damage consoles. Turrets are considered "Cannons" and are affected by things like Cannon Rapid Fire or Scatter Volley. Omni's tend to do more raw damage than most turrets. Turrets have no limitations on being mounted. You can mix and match non-set or set turrets until all the slots are filled.

[@jeffpadilla9891]

[@chrisciwei7305]

Reputation omni and reward should not be the same category... I just made the same mistake you did... :( I got cutting beam, crafted and nexus at the back; I wanted to swap the crafted one with gamma rep omni and I couldnt, because nexus' there but I dont want to take it away cause that'd lose firing haste, I should've watch your vid before doing it.. wasted resources

[@TheFreelancer131]

I always Disagreed with the Omni beam Limit it actually makes 0 Since iv had people harp about Balance but here's the bottom line. I can slap an unlimited number of turrets on the back of my ship get there 360 Degree Dmg with out limitation You can try to site Dmg amount but the fact is that on a ship with 4 Rear weps I can have 4 turrets of my choice which will always be putting out damage no matter what. So why are Omni's Limited it's a pointless limitation. no matter what the excuse is. it's always going to come off as artificial

[@pauln2661]

Umm so far two Omnis..... the Ancient Omni and the Borg cutting beam.

[@raijinmeister]

The Borg one is not really an omni beam.

[@mikealpha2611]

@@raijinmeister Yea it is KCB or Kinetic Cutting BEAM it also fires 360.

[@simond.455]

@@mikealpha2611 From its properties (non-energy damage, not affected by consoles), it's like an experimental weapon for the aft weapons slot.

you are doing video on omni beams and you are clueless about them, sad....

[@MCStu]

Please, fill us in.

[@VladanUmicevic]

@@MCStu well first of all i would like to say "thanks" for trying I guess (but try harder), and second in your case you can put ancient omni and crafted one since you are using antiproton on your build combine with trilithium omni beam (or kinetik)cause it give haste but you get nothing really, the only way you can optimize with omni is to use them as part of a set , there are plenty combination out there but. Omni weapon in general are bad so making them part of a set is way to go and it is possible use it as a trigger weapon and there is more about it but I am to lazy to type it and 9min video aint gonna cut it either.

[@MCStu]

@@VladanUmicevic Thank you for your response, You are correct, I agree with pretty much everything you said. But this video was not indented as a build vid nor stating which omnis to use. This was to explain which omnis could be slotted together and how many at the some time....
