I'd agree with you if Voporak weren't flying a Defiant, even a Fleet Defiant. It just isn't a good idea to use the Assimilated shield (or any regenerative shield for that matter) on escorts when you're flying ESTFs.
I recommend the Aegis Set. Escorts were made for quick strikes, like with hit and run tactics. The best move is to get in and get out of the firing line fast enough, especially with such a small ship like the Defiant Class. With that in mind, the Aegis Set sounds like like it may be a good option for you, seeing as how it is best in protecting quick moving ships. Don't even try using it on a Cruiser, because you cannot park and snipe with it and expect to live very long (I know this from experience.). Aegis Set only protects moving ships, so Escorts are the only viable users.
Now for his Odyssey it'd be great. You're damn near indestructible barring Borg One-Shots with that particular combo.
Agreed. At this point, it is really the only thing keeping my Odyssey alive! (:eek:) At the moment, it relies entirely too much on torpedoes. The next 10 million (:rolleyes:) that I get is going toward giving it a full turret build like my Negh'Var. Hopefully, that build will make my Odyssey actually worth using.
I agree, seeing as how something so small really is like flying around in a tin can. Just one shot from much of anything will kill it.

Opens EC wallet.
Now about this dilithium tax... We will require your soul this time as well.
As for the new Odyssey build, we may have to just forget about that for the time being. I checked the Exchange for the Polarized Disruptor Turret Mk XII [acc] [dmg]. They have been holding steady at a little under 3 million each, and the Disruptor consoles are still ridiculously priced......:rolleyes:
So, 7 of those turrets, plus 2 of the consoles. You would think I had learned my lesson on my Fleet Negh'Var. But nooooooo; I still have the urge to make my useless Sci Feddy into something actually worth using. So, who can outwait who? I am starting to think the Exchange may win this waiting game. :mad:
Why not grind out the marks needed to get your Feddie to T4 Romulan Rep and do the single cannons Mk XII store unlock? I mean then you can get your Mk XII [Acc][Dmg] and the KDF has a mission you'll only need to re-run twice to get the Mk XI Rare damage consoles to boost them. Plus you can set things fire!
Plus it'll keep you distracted from the money grubbing Ferengi running the exchange. There is the slight downside of each piece costing almost 29k dilithium each, but you can save that up during the grind easy.

I have full 8 beam Arrays and the Aegis shield, my Engine and Deflector are both the Assimilated ones. And I have a base DPS of about 1992 doing broadsides.

[09/15 11:01] [Combat (Self)] You lose 12187085 Cold Damage from Death.
Death is OP, please nerf. I BLAME KURLAND FOR THIS!
He is full beams right now, and that is only effective in broadside. With something as huge as my Odyssey, it cannot turn well enough to keep things in a broadside range. 4 beams in one direction is less DPS than all 8 turrets firing in any direction. Plus, I can use cannon abilities to upgrade my attack to more than 2k DPS.
As for the Romulan Reputation, he is already at T4. I like the idea of Plasma starting fires, but the damage does not stack. Once a fire is set, you are only running on the base DPS of the weapons themselves until the fire goes away. Then you start another fire, and the cycle all over again. :rolleyes:
With that proc, a full load would not be any more effective than just having one Plasma weapon. With Phased Polaron, EACH BOLT FIRED gives me a significant chance of shutting down a subsystem AND draining power from what remains. The stacking is far more effective.
I am looking into getting Phased Polaron Turrets but I would need about the same amount of money as a VRare MkXII Phaser Relay console.

I think there was a major internet outage earlier. I was getting uploads and downloads in the Kbps when I normally average 6Mbps and 21Mbps respectively. Now, all of the sudden, I'm back near my regular speeds.
Who knows?

Does this meet all the requirements for fleet advancement?
It does. Of course, promotion to Elite is at the Masters's discretion. So asking may or may not be a good idea, depending on which Master you ask. Alecto promoted you, though, so no worries! :-D
So close to having my last two turrets. Just need 4.9million total right now.

That is because you are buying too quickly. You buy up all the ones priced at 2 million, and the only ones left are 3-4 million. I made that very same mistake with my Fleet Negh'Var, and I do not intend to repeat this. :rolleyes:
In the end, you choosing today to buy is actually good for me, because it gives time for the Dilithium Exchange to stop going up the moment I post an offer, and the item Exchange to lower the prices again after you finish your build. If the Dilithium Exchange ever stops trolling me, my plan is to buy 1-2 turrets a day, which will allow for the price battles to lower the cost again between purchases. Even if this takes me a week to outfit my Odyssey, it will give me a lower cost than buying all at once.
As do I. I hate looking at all these Klingons! And all these Ferocians are pompous! :mad:

Alecto did request that shadow cats ask about promotions so it would be easier for the masters to keep up.
The Ferasan Shadow Force is a solid fleet with solid leadership. We want to ensure it stays that way. However, as the fleet grows, we will most likely miss some promotions. It is not due to elitism or lack of caring. It is entirely because we just can't keep up with everyone.
If you think you are up for promotion, please contact a Master. Worst thing we could do is decline the promotion which leaves you exactly where you are now. It never hurts to ask.
As for promotion to Master, we have enough for now and you never have to ask about those. If we feel you are worth of being a Master, we will contact you.

I wonder how long until it makes its way into the game. Next patch?
I know in my case, I was never able to make good use of it as a Cruiser. It just seemed in an identity crisis between Cruiser and Science. The high level Science instead of investing in Tactical meant that the DPS was inferior to the default ships of the tier. Although the higher shield and hull did compensate for this, the elongated batted got tedious very quickly. After a while, I switched back to the Stargazer (T3), and the Star Cruiser (T5). The Fleet Ambassador version having a universal slot, well, let's hope it gives someone some usefulness.
What do they mean by "a system that promotes a new Fleet Leader after 30 days of inactivity?" As far as I know, no such system exists, and it will not exist until someone can link me to a page on the STO website that says this explicitly.
I was in a Fleet for a long time that had exactly such an issue. The leader went missing since September. By December, I was the only Fleet Admiral who ever logged in, plus I was #1 in the Leaderboard, but I never once saw any notification asking me if I wanted to become the leader of the fleet.

Apparently there is a system that lets the next highest rank claim leadership if the head honcho has been inactive for 30 days. I've heard that a button or something appears on the roster.

Not an issue with this fleet. You are lucky to go 30 hours without one of us Masters logging in.
