    I'm running my Steamrunner as a torp boat and it's the most fun I've ever had in a Fed rig.

    2 photons front, 2 rear, mucho spamo. And with it's tactical BOFF setup you can have HY3 twice, which means HY3 every 10 seconds.

    And it tanks unbelievably well.

    Built this as an inexpensive "I just don't really care I want to justify my $25.00 purchase" build.

    Armitage:

    BO powers:
    Tac Commander: Tac Team 1, Cannon scatter volley 1, Torp spread 3, Attack pattern beta 3
    Tac Lieutenant: Tac team 1, Cannon scatter volley 1
    Tac Ensign: Torp Spread 1
    Eng Lt. Com.: Emergency power to shields 1, Emergency power to shields 2, Aux to SIF II
    Sci Lieutenant: Transfer Shield Strength I, Hazard Emitters 2

    Fore Weapons:
    DHC Disruptor (x2)
    Photon Torp (x2)

    Aft Weapons:
    Disruptor Turret (x3)

    We're using disruptors here because it buffs torp damage.

    Consoles:
    Sci: Field Gen (x2)
    Eng: Assimilated Borg, Neutronium, Photon Torpedo Point Defense System
    Tac: Disruptor Coil (x2), Photon Assembly (x2)

    Feel free to swap out the field gen consoles with DPS oriented ones, like the Tachyokentic & Zero point; or even the new Embassy consoles(the 9% plasma ones, then swap Disruptors with new Romulan weapons). I run a single neutronium on my escorts as the only defensive oriented console, but I know some people prefer more.



    You can use either the Omega (Tetryon Glider) or Klingon Honor Guard (25% torp damage) set. I prefer 2x Omega (tet gliders) with a Maco/KHG shield.

    DOFFS:
    3x Projectile (purples)
    2x Shield Distribution

    You need the 3x purple projeciles doffs to make (2x) torpedos work properly. Without them your damage will suck.

    Bump.

    I'm currently running my Steamrunner with the following:

    Fore:

    Phaser Beam Array Mk XI [Borg]
    Photon Torpedo Launcher Mk XI [CrtH]x2
    Photon Torpedo Launcher Mk XI [CrtH]x2
    Photon Torpedo Launcher Mk XI [CrtH]x2

    Aft:

    Photon Torpedo Launcher Mk XI [CrtH]x2
    Photon Torpedo Launcher Mk XI [CrtH]x2
    Phaser Beam Array Mk XI [Borg]

    Deflector:

    Positron Deflector Array Mk XI [ShdS] [SIF]

    Shields:

    Jem'Hadar shield

    Engines:

    Jem'Hadar impulse

    Devices:

    Red Matter Capacitor
    Subspace Field Modulator

    Engineering Console:

    Blue EPS Flow Regulator Mk XI
    Blue Plasma Distribution Manifold Mk XI
    Blue Neutronium Alloy Mk XI
    Blue Neutronium Alloy Mk XI

    Science Console:

    Blue Shield Emitter Amplifier Mk XI
    Blue Shield Emitter Amplifier Mk XI

    Tactical Console:

    Blue Phaser Relay Mk XI
    Blue Phaser Relay Mk XI
    Blue Photon Detonation Assembly Mk XI
    Purple Photon Detonation Assembly Mk XI

    BOFF skills:

    Commander Tac:
    TT1
    BFaW1
    HY3
    APO3

    Lt. Cmdr Tac:
    TT1
    BO1
    HY3

    Lt. Engineering:
    Eng.T1
    EPtoS2

    Lt. Engineering:
    EPtoS1
    RSP1

    Ens. Sci:
    Hazard Emitters

    Doffs:

    3 blue Projectile Weapons Officers

    I love this setup.

    Frontally, I fire a photon torpedo every 1.6 seconds. Average 6k damage on unshielded targets in elite STFs per torpedo without buffs, without HY3. So getting 6k damage every 1.6 seconds without buffs.

    Spam HY3 every 15 seconds or less

    BO1+TT1 will drop the shield face on probes and nanite spheres in elite STFs.

    I'm having more fun with this build then I've ever had with a Fed rig. Even full-on cannon DPS monsters, I haven't had as much fun.

    Kick in attack patterns and FomM and it's just funny. 20k Photon crits..
