Omega Kinetic Shearing

Omega Kinetic Shearing is a player character space reputation trait.

Rank I

Available from Tier II with Task Force Omega

Kinetic Torpedoes and Mines deal additional damage as a shield-penetrating DoT over a 6 second period.

  • Deals 10% of your outgoing damage as a DoT over 6 seconds

Rank II

Available from Tier VI with Task Force Omega

Kinetic Torpedoes and Mines deal additional damage as a shield-penetrating DoT over a 6 second period.

  • Deals 12.5% of your outgoing damage as a DoT over 6 seconds

The amount of additional damage dealt is proportional to the already-strengthened damage dealt by the triggering projectile prior to applying the target's resistances (if any). As such, it cannot be further strengthened but is still subject to resistances.

Trait: Omega Kinetic Shearing

Omega Kinetic Shearing is a player character space reputation trait.

This trait is only available for player characters.

Basic information

  • Game description: Kinetic Torpedoes and Mines deal an additional 10% of the damage they deal before resistances are calculated, as a shield-penetrating DoT over 6 a second period.
  • Available from:
    • Reputation: Task Force Omega
      • Rank I unlocks with Tier II.
      • Rank II unlocks with Tier VI.


Notes

  • The Torpedo must be explicitly a Kinetic type for this to trigger. Non-kinetic torpedoes such as the Advanced Diffusive Tetryon Torpedo Launcher will not toggle the DoT
  • Every individual torpedo strike will toggle a separate DoT, which makes combining this with any of the versions of Ability: Torpedo: Spread particularly effective as it will inflict a separate DoT to every hit on every ship.
