PvP Boot Camp: Consolidating PvP Resources into One Place

edited November 2012 in PvP Gameplay
Fellow PvP Players:

Most of you know that PvP Boot Camp has a new website, which was created by drkfrontiers: http://pvp-boot.camp.shivtr.com.

We are hoping to use this website as a central educational hub where students can find articles, videos, and guides that have been put together throughout the years. So what I need from you is to reply to this thread by providing either a link to an article/video or--if a link is not available--emailing a document to me (sargon.priorityone@gmail.com) so that I can post it on the website.

If you weren't there, Saturday's conference calls were very successful. Thank you to all of the coaches and developers who participated.

    I agree we should come up with a standard format for builds and also acronyms.

    Thanks, Hilbert. I don't know if you got my email some weeks ago, but we would really like to have your participation in Boot Camp. We are, of course, always looking for coaches, but if if you can't commit to that, we would also consider a special "lecture" series of sorts for the more advanced players. Thanks and please consider this. feel free to contact me directly at sargon.priorityone@gmail.com to discuss this further.

    Not to go off-topic but Zorandra, don't you find it tough without APO? Sometimes I have both APO and PH on the MVAM and even then the amount of tractor beams can make a single manly tear roll down my cheek.

    I think this idea is one of the best to come out of these forums!

    Sometimes its a single manly tear, but I use TBR and evasive to an extent to get away from tractorbeams.

    Same, I take two... Which in a mobius relegates me to using 2x crf1.

    There is a great deal of diversity when it comes to the ethics of PvP play and there is no "list" of banned/problematic items. Here is my suggestion:

    1) Post your build in the PvP forum and ask for feedback.

    2) Try your best to ignore the insults that are thrown at you by PvP players. I am so sorry that somebody treated you in this manner. Unfortunately, many PvP players blame Cryptic for the lack of PvP players--and Cryptic is to be blamed, in part--and then, at the same time, drive new players like you away by insulting them. This sort of behavior is completely unacceptable and is a sign of your opponent's emotional immaturity and inability to offer criticism without mixing it with insult. If a player has a criticism to share with you about your build it should be done in a way that does not include mocking.

    3) Show up for Boot Camp on Dec 29th, 2012 (time TBD). One of the central lessons we will cover is your build. Boot Camp will be a safe environment where you can learn, make mistakes, and hopefully improve. Here is a website that is still under construction: http://pvp-boot.camp.shivtr.com/

    Please feel free to contact me in-game (@gradstudent1) or via email (sargon.priorityone@gmail.com).

    Thanks!

    Name U.S.S. Tripticon
    STO Planner http://www.stoacademy.com/tools/skillplanner/index.php?build=AuxtobatChimera_0
    Short Description Aux 2 Battery build for Faster recharges.
    Ship Class Escort
    Ship Specific Chimera Heavy Destroyer
    BOFF
    Cmd Tac: Tac Team 1, <varies>, Attack pattern Omega 1, Rapid Fire 3 or Scatter volley 3
    LtC Uni: Emergency power to shields 1, Auxilery to the Battery 1, Eject Warp Plasma 1 or other
    Ensign Uni: Tractor Beam 1
    Lt Engi: EmergencY power to Auxilery 1, Auxilery to the Battery 1
    LT Sci: Hazard emitters 1, Transfer shield Strength 2
    DOFF 3x Technician 2x (Any)
    ENG Consoles <Varies>
    SCI Consoles Dynamic Tactical System, Assimilated Module
    TAC Consoles 3 or 4x <Energy weapon of choice>, if 3x, 1x of Mine of Choice
    Purpose
    The build uses Aux 2 Bat x2 to achieve Global Cool down across ALL Bridge officer skills. This allows for MANY things:

    Permanent Eject Warp Plasma - With your Warp Plasma on Global Cool down, you will be able to Deploy more Plasma before the last Cloud series has disapeared.

    DEM - With a near perma DEM, you can guarentee better Damage through shields, though the down sides is only able to use DEM 1 and not DEM 3

    Reasons for Emergency power to Aux and Emergency power to shields - With everything on global, some times the Double Aux to Bat kills Aux power to 0 between cycles. EptA helps to recover Aux during those down cycles.

    Despite the Heavy Energy set up above, the build can run nearly ANY set up, making it the most universal build avaliable. Need a Mine deployer/Torpedo Spammer? Change Rapid FIre 3/Spread 3 to Dispersal Pattern Beta 3 and add Torpedo Spread 2. Want to go with a FAW build? Change omega 1 to FAW 3, and change Rapid Fire 3 to Omega 3.. The Ideas and possibilities are nearly Endless.

    Note on the skills listed in the planner: They are my personal set up for an easier way for me to go from ship to ship as I like to fly different roles. More of a Jack of all trades really. Probobly better to optimize skills towards the role of a Tac in an escort.
    You think that your beta test was bad?

    Thanks, webdeath. We needed an aux 2 batt build anyway.
