1. Which console is it that increases shiels? I read a post that a guy with HEC has 10k shields. I want that.

2. For tac. I have all phaser dmg consoles. But i read that it isnt an even multiplier. So 2 with the 26.2 is 56.4 its less. So my question is. Would it be advantageous to throw in a cannon dmg increase console with the phasers or leave all phasers?

    1. Field Generators. Stackable. Start at Rear Admiral Upper Half I think. Best Sci Console.

    2. Stick with all Phasers if you run just Phaser energy weapons. They do stack and they give the % listed. Very good if you have 3 or more stacked.

    Any more questions?

    You want the Field Generator.

    What you're asking is if 20% + 30% would be larger than 30% + 30%. Regardless of how the addition works, it's still smaller.

    Edit: Bah, ninja'd from looking up the Field Generator link.

    use one or more field generators to increase your shield's capacity
    I think also a shield emitter amplifier is usefull

    Emitter amplifiers are useful only if you will be in a long fight and only if your enemy doesn't deal large spike damage and only if you are uisng regenerative shields. Also, the amplifier is best on science vessels because of the science vessel shield modifier.

    ok.

    ok.

    as you said, it depend on how long you will be in a fight and on your enemy... but also on your build and how you fight. A good build help you to resist longer, so after a while what you need is not more shield capacity, but shield regeneration rate.

    Since I fly a sci ship. The Atrox. I don't need regain. I just have a lot of shield heals, I think 4 right now.

    So it depends on what you want. If you want faster regain then get the Emitters. If you want more shields then get the Generators.
