    stuff that is real bad taste:

    AMS console
    Acetone assim console

    Stuff that upset some, but is still widely used and considered ok:
    - Jem'hdar ship
    - Carrier escort with OP pets

    game is so full of borked stuff now, that you can get away with just about anything :)

    Only thing that really bothers me is still phasers. They've supposedly been made less offensive but honestly I haven't felt it. I guess part of it is my own fault since I run pretty crappy standard one-system batteries and I don't have the RMC, but you still have to grit your teeth when you come to a complete standstill and die to a random engines/shields proc.

    Well at least you guys aren't giving away all the secrets..

    Aux 2 Bat + 2x Very Rare Technician Doffs for example.. :D

    Tyken's Rift + Very rare Gravimetric Doff (Tyken's)

    Viral Matrix + 1x Very Rare Doff + 1x Rare Doff (Don't recall doff catagory name)

    Brace for Impact + 3x Very Rare Shield Distribution Doffs

    Borg set is always OP


    Wait.. whoops.. :P

    I have to admit that you often meet some drain carriers and they are annoying but there are still matches, FvK and even KvK (they exist! (sometimes)) without them.

    Also my guild has 5 members and if I ever manage to get them all online at the same time I might be able to force them to pvp with me which would result in a klingon premade without any drains (ok some might use polaron but thats it).

    My stomach is clear and my mind is full of bacon!

    Without doubt for me Siphon drones are the most OP in game. You can do absolutely nothing about it. but sit there and get drained to death. You can hit red matter and EPS if your an engy and still have no power. Basicly no counter to it at all.

    Let me try and rephrase that, if every gear/skill part is 100% equally effective, there is no fun and joy to try and get the best possible combination/build on a ship now is there? :)

    The actual thing that would make any of these skils significant is the fact that some of them are single clickable and have no requirement with timing in combination with other skills.

    Like the poster above already mentioned, Power siphons drain you to like 10 per powerlevel or whatever the number is, with a single click, or just spam it. Requires zero skill or timing. These are the things that can be considered OP.

    Personally I see the siphon drainers in Ker'rat the most, and wow a 1v1 can take up to 10 minutes in rare occasions simply because you cannot do anything. But wow, the skill level of the players that take these kinds of builds is just appalling. Too bad a skilled player can still find the gaps and micromanaging ability timings to take them down :)

    I find the Danube tractor spam to be much more OP than the siphon drones. It doesn't matter how many hold resists you have, you are chained with tractor beams.

    With siphons, at least you can get away.

    I agree, and the ship setting those danubes after you, is a top-damage escort, that can truly take advantage of your immobility!

    I like akira, but do not like the pets. Gimme the possibility to equip console in hangar and you have 6 peregrines less in pvp.

    If I had to pick, I'd say 5th tac consoles.

    Other than that, there aren't really OP skills lest at this point.

    Glider is pretty insane still, so that would be my other pick.


    Now underpowered and Trash Skills on the other hand. Oh boy where do I start the list.

    For me its the siphon drones. Tractors I can manage. No power equates to no evasive equating to NO get away. Only thing that works is the impulse capacitance cell.

    Also if you have no power, you cannot destroy them so how is that NOT OP compared to tractors?

    Yeah...it's not.

    I've tested it. It is a capped drain at 50% of what it says it can do, it doesn't stack, and can be 100% resisted with Power Insulators.

    The only thing overpowered with it is how many hits it can take before it blows up. And the radiation damage if you have enough points in the damage and are buffing the Aceton Assimilator with Tactical skills.

    Drones are slow and dumb/ very bad ai.

    a. if you keep moving and not just sit there u will out run them.

    b. they very often leave target when another player has any skill in the taunt modifier.

    Advance interceptors = Very fast , perfect ai, and shuts down engines and weapons. If you want to complain, complain about somthing really op ;)
