    My first Federation officer was a Betazoid Science Officer....also a female. I find it funny if people personally invite me. As you said, if only they knew.

    Main Fed Character: Female Betazoid Science Captain (It appealed to me more than any other. Ultimate goal is to run around in the Intrepid Retrofit.

    Main Klingon Character: Male Klingon Tactical Captain. Fights anybody, especially Borg.

    My problem is once I find a great game, I stick to it like concrete. If I find another great game, I slowly lose focus on the game I was playing previously.

    And mine are named Bianca (Fed) and Kagar (Klink)

    I'm actually playing at Stol, Mass Effect 3, Alan Wake and Skyrim, it's exciting to change environment and character, it enhances the brain capabilities...or I hope so!
    But the real life...and the real women...sigh, they always win!:)

    Have those bookmarked. I keep saying this over and over, but thank you for the sound advice.

    I plan to check out all the advice y'all gave me after my mom gets off the computer....me and dad unknowingly brought her into the game.

    How I feel while rolling a pure heal bot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFUaX29tDUk

    So during my drunken flying I came up with a brilliant controller healer... cause we all know I don't like just facerollin that keyboard sober.
    Cmdr, Warp Plasma 3, Extend Shields 2, EPTS2, EPTS1
    Lt Cmdr, Emergency Power to Aux1, Aux to structural 1, ET3 Alt EPTA1, RSP, ET3

    Tac
    Lt, FAW1, Attack Pattern Beta1
    Ens. Tac Team

    Sci
    Transfer shields 1, Hazard2

    Shields, Borg shield, or Maco
    Deflector, Omega
    Engine Omega.

    Consoles, 2 SIF Generators, RCS or Neutronium, Ablative Armor
    Sci, Borg, and Field Generator
    Tac. 3 Energy consoles.

    DOFFs. 3 Maint engineers (purple ideally of course... 2 blues and a green works as well), the Warp Plasma Doff, and a brace for impact shield distribution doff. Changed the shield distribution doff for the Warp Core engineer that gives a 20 percent change to get +20 power to all subsystems with each hit of Emergency Power. As I have 3 Emergency systems I've got a 60 percent chance of getting free extra power. which when it procs when EPS power transfer up, almost maxes out all of my subystems.

    Power settings 100 weapons, 50 shields. 25, 25.

    Heal bot with warp plas, and high weapon power. It's fairly flexible, and stable. So far it seems pretty straight forward. And much more entertaining to play than my old heal bot build was :) Ideal team would probably be 2 Recons, and a nebula. As it's missing a heal spot, you need a fairly solid team I would think. Could probably also work it with 2 Intrepids, and 2 Escorts as well.

    What do you think of this future setup for my Engineering Starfleet character. It includes skill points distributed and Boffs abilities on a Star Cruiser:

    http://www.stoacademy.com/tools/skillplanner/index.php?build=Starcruiser1_1294

    In my personal opinion, it looks like a tough ship to fight against, but I would like your opinion on it.

    And I realized the build for the Star Cruiser also can work on a Negh'var....with minor changes:

    http://www.stoacademy.com/tools/skillplanner/index.php?build=Neghvar1_1294

    With the increases to impulse thrusters, I should be able to mount a couple Dual Beam Banks on the Negh'var to ramp up DPS.

    First thing I'd do... can the star cruiser for the AC if you want DPS. It really does make that big of a difference.
    Either way, move EPTW2 down to EPTW1, upgrade to 2X epts2S. Personally if it were me I'd only run one EPTW1, EPTS2, Extend 2 and ASIF3. Lt cmdr, EPTS1, RSP1, and ET3 this will give you just as much actually -more- shield tanking power and a massively better heal in ET3.

    Try this instead.
    http://www.stoacademy.com/tools/skillplanner/index.php?build=mavsmod1_0

    You'll find this is much much more stable and effective.

    Thank you for the advice. Would the build I had for the Negh'var be a good build? Or should that be rearranged as well?

    I'd rearrange it EPTW1 X1 is really all you need there. (and with the neggy you can put an EPTA1 in the ensign)

    How would I rearrange it? As it's a cruiser, it needs to do what it does best: Tank right?

    Tanks do not exist for pvp.
    I would put in EPTS1, EPTS2, ET3, ASIF3
    EPTW1, RSP1, Extend Shields2
    ens engie
    EPTA1

    I'll link the negvhar post in a sec http://forums.startrekonline.com/showpost.php?p=4052754&postcount=95

    here's some sample negvhars to work from as well.
