I actually dont think I will recommend tetryon to anyone. IMHO, Plasma, and Antiproton, and even Phaser has value. Im dissapointed in tetryon today.

Not that I'm going to give up on tetryon, I believe STO will continue to make changes, and perhaps they will balance the weaknesses, but I see that Tetryon focuses on shields right? Well, one thing all ships do, and all shields do is USE ENERGY! and guess what? If there is one thing that magically appears out of nowhere, it is energy. Your energy and overall ship design just imaginates more energy over time, and whallah - shields still exist.

Granted, I'm making words up here, and playing a bit tongue and cheek, but sincerely, there is a flaw in tetryon. You do damage to shields moreso than anything else, and the enemy is recharging power to shields naturally ALL of the time.

So one beam/or dual anything dishes out, 180-300 dps, and you have ~3 maybe 4... so you are doing 1200dps per strike, and that is a small number against 8000 plus for shields.

Either way, it is a lot of fun, and sure helps when you are in a pve with other dps'ers that have plasma, phasers, antiproton, etc.
