Best DPS?

edited March 2013 in Klingon Discussion
I've been systematically restructuring my builds lately, and I did my feds first (since I lucked out on a Wells and bought the Kumari). Now I'm moving to one of my 4 LGs (well 3 but the 4th is close), as she is next in line.

I'm considering a change of ships while I am at it.

Which are the top 3 KDF ships right now, and in which order, for pure DPS potential? I prefer flying escorts/raiders/destroyers (and hate raptors cause they ugly), but I'm open minded to battlecruisers.

Thanks :)

    Fleet level Birds of Prey for decloak alpha's, including the Fleet B'rel as a torp/mine vessel.
    I lile the Fleet Somraw raptor and the Fleet Vorcha is an excellent battlecruiser.
    The Garumba and Kar'fi are evil under the right build, which basically can be said for all the vessels above.

    I know I probably have to relinquish my klingon license but I really hate the way the b'rel looks.

    How does the Temporal Destroyer match up?

    Temporal Destroyer is actually pretty good, partly considering it's a lockbox ship and partly considering what the other DPS option are for the KDF. It definatly makes up a bit in survivability where the the Qin Raptor for example lacks with such a turn rate (basically meaning that both have a Base 15 Turn Rate, but the Destroyer has far better survivability options at its disposal than the Qin Raptor becauseof the way the ship is setup).

    Pretty much all the DPS ships that Roach described can be evil whilst setup right like he said, but I'd never leave my Fleet Tor'Kaht ever again :D

    This. BoPs rawk. Just don't expect to tank much, OP, and you'll do fine in a BoP. Can do everything from sci-boat to healer to spike damage. . .it won't do any of those jobs as well as a ship designed for said job, but it will do them well enough.

    Well, first it depends on what you want to play, PvE, PvP, both etc.

    The fleet Tor'Kaht does very well in both when setup right. It is pretty much a fat escort.
    C-Store Bortasq can be a mean beast as well. If you are given the time to bring your
    big guns to bear.
    Fleet raptors and BoPs.
    And don't underestimate the Guramba, it is a nast spike damage ship with the Javelin.
    But it is getting slowly showing its age, might be worth waiting on the fleet version of it.

    And of course there is the usual suspect, the Jem Hadar Attack Ship.

    If it's PVP you're after

    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAAgaD-zbotq2By_2-8qqIg?feature=results_main

    It isn't possible to get greater DPS than that. It's only for 2 seconds, but that's 1 second more than most ships can take.

    There's also many PVE videos up there with different ships and builds. Maybe you'll see one to spark your interest in a particular ship and you can come back with more questions on it.

    I don't PvP in games that also have PvE. Personal rule of mine. It's always broken and imbalanced. I PvP in games that are dedicated to it, like Planetside 2. I also generally don't like RPG PvP, so that's two nails in that coffin.

    Well, both the Fleet Norgh and Fleet Hoh'Sus sort of work like the Hegh'ta. Both are upgrades to it, anyway.

    EDIT: The Hoh'Sus gains a tac slot while the Norgh gets one more Lt. Comm. Boff slot. Both have higher Hull and 0.88 Shield mod (compared to 0.80 on non fleet BoPs.)
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    I fly a Kar'fi in pve which gets 10k dps in ISE, haven't even got rommie/fleet weapons or elite scorpions yet. For pvp I have a fleet Hoh'sus with thisslers' build (more or less). I use the same boffs for both (although in other slots).

    The fleet HoH'sus is the the fleet Heghta with an extra tac console slot and better stats.

    That thing is hideous. But I may look into it.
