Radiolytic Phaser Visuals & Review

[@CasualSAB]

I know the red background is not ideal here. But the Tribble Test Map is still broken, which removes my best map option. I did try to remove the sky in Demorecord, but it didn't look great to me. And I've heard that I was sitting to close. If you have any thoughts/recommendations for future visual videos like this, please drop them here!

[@Stinger913]

How do u get a test map since foundry is gone?

[@CasualSAB]

@@Stinger913 There is a test map on the Tribble Test Server

[@chadwickmccarty4944]

I do think Cryptic did these Radiolytics well with the visuals & sounds.

[@outlawedTV88]

at least they should put them at below 50% hull

[@NotoriousNickNorris]

Beam overload sounds standard. Everything else sounds uniquely cool.

[@MarcterChief]

That visual/audio presentation was really good, i hope youll keep making those whenever new weapons come out.

[@mahall85]

This is why I waited for the crash, and I wanted to start with 4 DBBs since they’d be the first to crash. Got four at 75k each!

[@selorkiith4461]

I actually like that they have only a slight difference... Gives me the option of a different Phaser Visual without sacrificing too much or in this case anything at all.

[@joshmupas20091]

They look and soundlike the 32nd Century phasers

[@Dracounguis]

The bonus damage for targets with low health is pretty pointless in normal and advanced content. You're talking a couple seconds of use. This is definitely more of an endgame / elite content weapon. Very similar to the Terran reputation weapons. Which are considered some of the best weapons to have.

[@KaylieRayne]

I love tis weapon Set, I run it with 32c Refits on my Silik and the damage is insane

[@JoJoRogain]

I thought I was the only one to run that combination lol. Beautiful on the Lexington-class. Aft radiolytic broadside is literally for kicking enemies when they’re down

[@DilaZirK]

Thanks for the visual and audio compilation!

[@NotoriousNickNorris]

Great delivery format for this video. Thank you Spencer!

[@adambrown6669]

I do wish that we had more phasers with the visual quality of the covert beams, a good solid but not overly thick beam that fires in just the right way to make it appear as though we are firing one long beam strike rather than several consecutive beam strikes.

[@Mr_Waffle.]

Thanks for putting all the info together, seems like a good choice for a new alt but not worth rushing out for otherwise. Will keep it in mind when I get bored and want to make another new character lol

[@NotoriousNickNorris]

If they are indeed 'slightly' better, then it's worth swapping out your old set for these new ones and sliding those to another toon.

[@flamedweller9429]

I wonder how these phasers would compare to crafted phasers with PEN

[@ClarionMumbler]

Interesting. This shows how much I play with the sound muted. I never knew firing modes had specific sounds associated with them.

[@robsolf]

Just the vid I was looking for. Thanks, Spence!

[@SLDFSpectreSix]

If you pause the clip where the Titan strafes the Assimilated Starfleet... fleet, the phasers the Titan use looks a lot like these phasers show at 8:06 , in case anyone wanted to make a more screen accurate Titan. (Strafing clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooa2mpqXqsaeY7c )

[@d_spruill7]

Phaser go pew pew pew! 🔫

[@flyingabrams]

It's shoot beam at beam type weapons(not bolts), nice SFX and Visual for me, and it have excellent Proc! Time to get these and upgrade..

[@arko09]

That opening screenshot looks really cool!

[@ocabear]

Awesome vid, I like the visuals and atleast these Phasers have a slight edge, eventhough its really not worth it to change just for performance. However for Space Barbie, heck yea lol.

[@matth6014]

The only time those weapons MIGHT come into play is against dreadnoughts in elite. Im sure most people these days are leveling enemy ships in 1 shot. With 5 magicks and the dragonsbloond console spiral disruptors still reign supreme.

[@Dracounguis]

I have my Ferengi character using the five magics and spiral beams. 👍

[@jeffspicoli5399]

I just blast away and hope for the best..

[@realplonk]

must protect your profits@@Dracounguis

[@Dracounguis]

@@jeffspicoli5399 I just blast away and hope that there is someone who chases the DPS dragon to bring the BeegDeeps. 🤣

[@DarthVader-1701]

Dual Heavy Cannons sound a lot like the USS Defiant's original pulse phaser sound.

[@knightmare7162]

Is no one going to mention that fire at will is busted with these phasers? they don't fire from the hardpoints and instead seem to fire from the ships centre of mass.

[@alanpattee4383]

Yeah! Phasers 🎉

[@david05111]

How do we think these will stack up against advanced phasers? Let’s say a group of 6, so they get the 60% CRTD boost

[@Dracounguis]

At this point for weapons I really only care about their visuals and sfx. As you say, most of the procs at 2.5% are negligible.

[@Cr4cKf0x]

Why did you do a visual test in a red hue area?! What colour are the beams and projectiles?!

[@jerrymclellan4711]

Charts for the win!!!!

[@jtremedy6468]

Thanks! Appreciate the visual footage!

[@dhotnessmcawesome9747]

[@luigi19987]

it reminds me of the Kelvin timeline phaser emitter.

[@OrdinarilyBob]

Thank you.

[@actzaku7106]

Cannons look way better than the beams imo

[@NotoriousNickNorris]

They sure sound better!

[@richardajoy79]

Its about time we had a new reputation, perhaps one that has enhanced radiolytics, including an omni-beam.

[@apx1031]

IMO Obliviating still stands atop for phaser weapons.

[@MLAGGIONE]

cant wait to equip these babies on my legendary inquiry.

[@britishgamerni]

Good for visuals but for gameplay I’ll stick to the obliviating phasers

[@MChauNsd]

for arrays ive always said the Disco Connie Adv. Phasers are the best but these are really cool. Might start getting DBB/DHC for my escort builds :)

[@MotoAviator]

@CasualSAB. Do you know which photon torpedo makes the same sound from Picard season 3? Specifically when Titan destroyed the Shrike.

[@RFA_The-DuDe]

I wont go running for them, as my crafted phaser's [pen] are doing the job just fine... Thanks for the vid that made up my mind.

[@peterhans3791]

Thank you for calling DBBs undesirable. I like my preferred beam staying cheap

[@TresLD]

where did you get the Antares model for the Marinda in STO? I cant find that version of the Marinda in game.

[@CasualSAB]

Only available on PC, and requires you purchase Star Trek Infinite. www.paradoxinteractive.com/games/star-trek-infinite/redeem

[@Orodreth888]

Have you ever talked about Voth Antiproton for tanks? They reduce enemy damage output. Would that not be working with supression fire?

[@johnlewis1830]

Still better than the 2.5% procs. Best phasers are Pen, Agony, and these. But i like the visuals on these. It doesn't take up the whole ship to fire them. U can actually see them coming from the weapon hard points. The Terran phasers r of course the best but u can only do one of each.

[@jaedo71]

I WANT THE PHASER SOUNDS FROM THE WRATH OF KHAN!!!

[@JByb04]

Outfitted my Neo-Connie with them. Mostly because I prefer Canon Visuals on my ships. But the Bonus didn't hurt either. :D

[@Raku03]

I know we never saw it fire, but would the Stargazer also have them? I've been using standard phasers so far. In a perfect world, I'd have the Connie III using standard phasers from the arrays, and radiolytic from the turret hardpoints. I feel the turrets would hit harder, just not have the firing arc of arrays.

[@JByb04]

Just my uneducated guess. I'd say yes since the Sagan and Duderstadt classes are constructed with mostly the same design philosophy. That would logically include the ships primary systems. So I would guess that type of phaser was becoming the new fleet standard in 2401. Whether it was a Radiolythic Phaser or that's just the name cryptic went with would be a Dave Blass or Terry Matalas question. But visually, I would bet the farm the Sagan Class uses the same style.

[@Raku03]

@@JByb04 Yeah, it does seem like it. I compared the picture of LA Sirena firing on the Snakehead fighter to the picture from the lockbox announcement, and it's almost a complete 1:1. So, either Rios switched to them due to his Starfleet background, or that was the standard phaser type used.

[@JasonS76]

Kinda like wrath of khan phasers

[@rudyp0000]

Great video, thanks for the info

[@RobertP-zk8vh]

they sound more like a pulse cannon then a beam

[@pershing3346]

Wait si it used the same SFX as the new Pistol? Or do they sound like that in the show.

[@blazewagner3974]

How do you have that variation of the Miranda Class? How did no one else catch this?

[@CasualSAB]

It's a promo with Star Trek Infinite that went live late last year. PC only, and you must own the "Star Trek Infinite" game in order to get it. www.paradoxinteractive.com/games/star-trek-infinite/redeem

[@mikeglatz5578]

How do these weapons compare to phasers with [Pen] on them dps wise?

[@CasualSAB]

That depends on how much debuff you have in your run. [Pen] falls behind a Dmg or CrtD mod when you have ~ -140 debuff in a run. For solo or budget oriented players, [Pen] has great value. But for those bringing in more debuff or playing with teams bringing debuff, these Radiolytics will be better.

[@Flight--tz5nf]

Even with bad mods and not upgraded these suckers are good.

[@starcrab3116]

Tks for video Same performance as normal phaser ? just for visuals ? Beams sounds classic but cannons sounds "Starwars" : just take Bajoran ship with this weapons and i have a Starwars ship in Star trek 😄

[@DiabloDave8605]

Mix this with Vaulting Ambition Trait good for smoking an opponent on it's last legs

[@grognakbarbar9286]

Hi - If you hate yourself enough, can you make videos for all the weapon types?

[@thestokes91]

What is the purpose of not putting an omni for this? smh

[@speedracer2735]

I'm of the opinion its because of the wide Arc DHC being in there.

[@lonnyjohnson8732]

I'm hoping the omni will be on one of the 14th anniversary ships

[@NotoriousNickNorris]

⁠that's not an explanation. Those are cannons, not beams. There isn't even a Wide Arc Dual Beam Bank.

[@tavonbrown9237]

I wonder whoch is better... These or the narrow band from the titan

[@CasualSAB]

The Narrow Band are better, but are limited to just 2 per ship.

[@athollmoray]

They look awesome…

[@arklight1670]

Would you say they are a PvP weapon?

[@aka-47k]

love the miranda hardpoints they so awsum XD and yeah seems like radiolytics will not really make the day.

[@QuantumNova]

Nice SFX. That's a win for phasers! As a KDF player I'm forced to use Discovery disruptor cannons. I absolutely HATE the sound standard disruptor cannons make. Star Trek never used that sound. It's like STO made up some crap, and used it as Disruptors. imagine if TOS phasers made some other sound instead of it's iconic sound, You'll be pissed too.

[@bugmeanie6526]

🧙‍♂️🪄💨 🤔 An the fun level?

[@aibohphobe]

I find a LOT of the time the new phasers all fire out of the same hard point

[@Boss-zo4lw]

But who cares about non elites, we all kill them one hit anyways, if your struggling at those skill levels then you need these lol, for Elites these are amazing in my runs so far, better than anything else so far.

[@drzak0o1]

Nice visuals and sound, but, 25% ... it's not do anything good.

[@short72hp1]

one again I mised your stream so you dont like the palament even with isos looking ford to dud revu💯

[@user-mf4nr4ml1e]

No offense Casual, but the map used is horrible for its visual testing

[@CasualSAB]

Yeah, the normal map I use is broken atm, I should have just completely removed background here.

[@ElachiGamingAndCosplay]

I like the visuals of these but the sounds are awful

[@Tommy92gunner]

im a big fan of the cannon sounds, almost turbolaser like
