"It is my pleasure to announce that after several decades (well, what feels like it!) of nosebleeds, sweat, toil, misgivings, the usage up of a small personal fortune and tears, that THIS has come to pass.
I hope you enjoy these screenshots as much as I have had enabling them to be taken. It is with thanks to Piwright, Captain_Zero, Capt_Winters, hort_wort and many, many others who have not only played with me, but also helped me develop and strategise myself into a hard-hitting, capable PvPer.
Thank you"
P.S. Apologies for not being on tonight for KDF PvP.
P.S.S. Don't forget tomorrow's TFBB PvP!

Can't wait till you get Will to Cpt. 9, and even VA.
this is a bit of a tangent but it will tie into that fateful day...
Initial tests with Yisie's recommission of the IKS VeS'Puq, (War Child), (possibly to be rechristened to IKS DaH yIDIl [Pay Now!] or IKS vIta'pu'be' [I didn't do it] and yes I would appreciate 10F's input on which of these three names I should ultimately settle on), shows great promise as it chewed through a Borg cube on advanced difficulty in a single less than 15 second pass with naught but green Mk XI weapons. Can't wait till I get the five more antithorons and 15 more vertirons that I need to craft those shiny purples.
Here is where I start to come full circle...
I need to look into shifting the science skills about a bit as the Borg's tractors gave me problems and Aux to Dampners was not enough to break free of even a sphere's tractors. I just have a hard time letting go of hazards and that would require another respec of Yisie's skills. It would be for the best as a Vor'cha-R/Tor'Kaht can't mount attack pattern omega, (Hint, hint).
Though I could try shifting all the ships power to the engines long enough to walk back out of tractor range, (another hint, hint cough... a tractor breaker without BO ability... cough), but that means I have to wait till power levels nominalize before I do real damage again after I switch back to attack on the power settings. There is no guarantee that would work on a Borg cube's tractors but it would work on almost all players tractors.
I bet Zero could tie me down especially if she read this, (IE switch power to aux mode and pop an aux bat with the full Borg set the second she saw my movement rate start to go up). If she were speced for shields the way I am speced for engines I probably would go nowhere as I doubt the Ageis kit can counter the Borg kit's tractor buff (humongous hint). this would force me to pop the copy of PH I plan to work into Yisie's final build or wait till it came off cooldown.
Do be careful with a tractor+mine build though as fire at will has be changed specifically to counter space spam. It now packs a huge wallop against both NPC and player. Cruiser DPS on those that use a spam FAW build is close to if not higher than that of an escort using three dual heavies and three turrets. Carrier captains are upset about it.
As a closing aside... I refuse to use FAW for the time being as it is OPed. It is my personal opinion that, in the name of good sportsmanship, if we do go into team PvP we should refrain in the very least from using FAW3 if any not form of FAW at all.
