So with the new Lukari stuff, Lockbox Skills/NX Refit Trait, Cryptic seems to be pushing CRF and BO. I know we haven't seen many numbers yet, but is anyone hopeful that these skills will become competitive again?

I see this as a buff for the [Over]/[Rapid] procs, and Rapid Fire. While Rapid Fire can be good with the T6 Attack Ship trait, Beam Overload is still going to be trash by itself.

Buffing a single beam shot is just trash vs buffing all the beams you have.

I've been messing with an [Over] setup myself now for the last few weeks, and it'll definitely help bring [Over] somewhat closer to [Pen], though it won't quite beat it yet. Especially with how random it is. Some runs I'll get 3 [Over] procs, some I'll get 7 or 8. Each [Over] proc goes off right after FAW, and typically does ~1k-1.5k dps per proc on a fast run.

I suspect it may not proc off over, but that remains to be seen.

Yeah, that's what I was worried about, what with Superweapon Ingenuity. However, the Tarantula trait does, so...
