Hello everyone, starting a thread so that people can post their current builds on their Andorian ships, please post info as follows so we can all easily understand them

So far im content with this build, sad that I had to pay a hefty amount of EC to get the two Conn officers, but that's what EC is for. I tried using APB2 instead of APO1 but the timings felt weird for me when using them, I also tried using 1 tac team instead of 2 but it makes me feel too vulnerable, specially going up against a multiple Cubes or a Tac cube.
With the changes to the consoles coming up, I wanted to try out switching APO1 out for BO3 and moving the Rom Exp BA forward, getting that extra burst in there. Meaning u would have Cannon Overload, Beam Overload, and CSV going off. Pop Nadeon Inversion to maintain power levels. Don't really remember the stats for the Rom exp BA, but how does it compare to a DBB, should I put a DBB up front and leave the rom BA in the back ??
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Please post your builds so I can compare and we can all make some good builds together.

SCI: Wing Cannon Platform and the Andorian Science ship Console
TAC: Phaser Relays X4
DOFFS:
Projectile Officer x3 (Torpedo CDR)
The Science Team cooldown DOFF x 2.
Basically I need better DOFFs. So that's why I'm messing around with Science team, until I can get the ones that affect EPTS cooldown, and then swap into Hazard Emitters on my science station BOFF. Until then Science team works well when I get stuck in a dogfight. Even though it shares a cooldown with tactical team.
Weapons:
Fore:
Wing Cannon, Andorian DHC X3, Transphasic Torpedo Launcher
Aft:
2 Andorian Turrets
Equipment:
The Aegis set. This character was not my main. But is now that I've returned. So I have to do the Omega Rep Grind to get a better set.
Devices:
Red Matter Capacitor
30 Scorpion Fighters
I like the build, but am working on tweaking the DOFFs and the BOFFs as I move forward. And will be replacing the Aegis set eventually. But for now it's a big step up from what I was running, and it's a fun ship to fly.
Has anyone done a build that doesn't involve using the wing cannons?
--Andorian Charal Escort--

Space Gear: Your Choice (MACO or Borg preferred)

DOFFS: 3 Attack Pattern Conn-doffs, 2 Projectile Weapon Officers
I've found the Kumari consoles lack-luster so far -- the 3 minute ability cool downs shared with cannon buffs are bad, and low shield capacities of this ship make neutronium armor mandatory if you're serious about surviving big hits. I'm hoping tomorrow's patch fixes some of these issues.
The Charal is a no-brainer given how fragile the Kumari line is in heavy combat. Engineer consoles tend to provide better combat oriented stats, while science consoles tend to over-specialize towards BOFF sci-abilities.
The locked engineer ensign station pretty much insures that the lieutenant universal station will be used for sci on Charals and engineer for Khyzons (assuming the player is going for a balanced build).
for Wings, rom torp, 2x DHC phaser fleet ,1 x DBB phaser fleet
aft cutter, turret phaser fleet

1x emergency shield
2x hazards 2x Tractor Repulse
Adapted Maco set
all wing consoles, PBTD , rom console, borg console 4x phaser console
have so much fun with this build its like firing 9 weapons 6 energy 3 kinetic drops things quick especially bosses that dont get moved by Repulse
It's a more aggressive, 10 console patrol escort that doesn't look like a flying brick. Kind of a no brainer.

*Since I don't do PVP I usually equip 1 Monotanium Alloy + 1 Electroceramic or Diburnium (VR MK XI) instead of the 2 Neutronium consoles(R MK XI).
You take that back! The Patrol Escort looks great! IMO it's Cryptic's best-looking original design among all the free ships, especially the Maelstrom skin (that special skin that comes with the Fleet ver.
Also, I think the Charal's the best-looking of the 3-pack. The wing cannons are more pronounced and placed at the tips of the wings rather than having ugly fins jutting out, and the main hull has more details.
I just wish I could use other material options. It's almost got that Atrox problem of being near-invisible in Sector Space.
As an Engi I prefer using the MACO 2-piece + Borg engines for the power boosts, but once I get the cutting beam I'll try the Borg 3-piece for tractor beam goodness.
As for no-Wings builds, I imagine a few folks who are into PVP or want to squeeze every last point out of the DPS would start trying them. The Wing Cannons and Andorian weapons are all Phasers, which are behind Antiproton and Disruptor for max damage potential.
Loading up a Kumari's 5 forward weapon slots with AP DHCs or Disruptor DHCs, plus 5 tac damage consoles could make for some insane burst and crit damage.

A little fragile when you're attacked, which in STFs is rare due to the four -Th consoles, and never with a dedicated tank, but it packs a punch and laughs at most STF shields. Also leaves them with a little burn, which can add up. I like it

its a great ship,the 2/3 adapted set is imo one of the best set bonus in game.
i dont see my charal as a glass canon,
i can do enough damage,while i can also tank enough.
i'm thinking of getting the romulan torpedo front,but i need youre opinion guys,is the romulan hyper torpedo better as an advanced fleet quantum?
and to answer some qeustions:
it doesnt matter wich slot you put the wing cannons in.
and i think the reload torp officers make the omega torp reload faster,but not that much:(
well i hope you guys like my build:D
and i hope someone can answer my qeustion about romulan or quantum torps:D
have fun with youure andorian escorts guys:D
I'm only use 3 phaser relays.
One field generator,
2 of the andorian consoles
zero point console
borg console
tachyokinetic console.
Just one neutronuim alloy.
Everything runs well I'm just wondering if Aux2Struct is better for me than RSP? The hull issue is the main one.

5 Blue Mk XI Phaser Relays
2 Neutronium consoles
1 Monotanium Console
1 Assimilation Module
1 Cannon overload console (forget name)
Full Omega XII set (deflector, Engine, Shield)
Anyway this is fun so far. Putting it through the paces in PVE right now. What it points at goes boom real fast. I have noticed the shields seem to stay weaker than on other escorts but maybe it's just me 😉
Most BOff abilities have a shared cooldown that is shorter than their individual cooldown. Tactical Team, for instance, has a cooldown of 30 seconds - if you have two equipped, hitting the first one will put it on its 30 second cooldown, and put the second copy on a 15 second shared cooldown, meaning that you can effectively use it twice as often. There are a fair number of exceptions (Hazard Emitters, etc...) but abilities generally have a shared cooldown that's half as long as the cooldown for one copy.
On a related note, I've seen a lot of people in this thread running only one copy of Attack Pattern Omega... why, why, why would you do that to yourself? One of the best abilities in the game, and having it usable every 30 seconds is one heck of a lot better than having it usable once every minute...
Plus, you get more damage out of an APO 1 + CSV 1 than you do out of the CSV 2 that would take the place of the second APO, or the same damage out of APO 1 + CRF 1 as a copy of CRF 2 plus a whole lot of other benefits...

In regard to hating Star Trek 2009:
fore weapons:
three phaser DHC, one kumari wing cannon, omega torp (substitute disruptors (or use the phaser setup stated) for non kumari console build)
rear weapons:
phaser turret, borg cutting beam

lt comm tac: torpedo speard 1, cannon scatter volley1, attack pattern beta 2

eng sci: epts1
doffs: two tac team cd, two brace for impact shield doffs, heal crew below 75% or something(sensor scan doff for sci)
eng consoles: borg console, wing cannon (tackykinetic device if not using kumari consoles)
sci consoles: rom sci shield emitter (plasma proc, -th), other two kumari consoles, field gen (two more field gens substituted for kumari consoles if not using them)
tac: phaser relay x 4
Targets melt with two copies of attack pattern beta being spammed with aoe fire. Combined with a high DPS pug/fleet group, things melt faster....:D
Sadly my incredibly unimaginative build, the same generic build I've used on *all* my escorts, rips through most things like tissue paper.

I tried moving my heavy Mk XII disruptor build from my Breen ship over to my new Andorian escort. It didn't work nearly as all. I'm still pretty new at all this, but those escorts just feel to me like they're more geared for Phaser builds. That means that I need to go back to my Breen ship and save up for a heavy phaser buildout.
