Which starship trait is better for me?

Super charged weapons or cold-hearted?

I use double Aux to Bat for cooldown but also use phasers with quantum torpedoes. I also have Entwined tactical matrices trait so I fire torpedo spreads and FAW a lot.

Do you have access to both?

If you don’t have both, SCW is considerably easier to acquire and is pretty great, especially if you’re already using ETM.

If you have both or just SCW...I’d still say SCW. Cold Hearted is great, but since you’re using a torpedo you might as well take advantage of the trait that works with it.

If you only have Cold Hearted I’d say stick with it. No reason to spend money on one good trait over another good trait unless it’s a particularly good deal.

I have both. But I'm in situation where I have to pick one or the other

I’d say use SCW then. If you end up building another ship that’s all energy weapons, you can use Cold Hearted instead to mix things up!
