Although new characters start with the Phaser Beam Arrays in the Federation and Disruptor Beam Arrays in the Klingon Empire, as a player advances, other beam weapons, both energy and weapon types, become available either by looting or purchase.Īll weapons and equipment can appear in enhanced versions identified by colors - white for basic, green for common, blue for rare and purple for unique. Ship beam weapons are the main battle weapons in STO and come in many different types.
