Hypothetical: a new (post S7) toon with access to Fleet Advanced hardware, plenty of dilithium and Fleet Credit, but none of the PvE sets (no Jem set, no Breen set, none of the Omega or Romulan sets...)

Fleet's not at T5 yet and may not get there for some time.

Assume the Toon is an Engineering rate with a fairly generic stat setup.

What I'm interested in seeing:

What deflector/engine/shield combinations does the PvP community feel (out of the limited selection available from the "Advanced" fleet list, not Elite, NO STF GEARING or REP gear, just passives) are likely to work well with one another when installed on a Bird of Prey for the purposes of running Arenas and C&H missions, and why.

PLEASE don't say "Go buy Omega/Adapted/Romulan/Embassy x", I'm not interested in that, everyone KNOWS what those do already.

as much as anything else, this is an intellectual exercise and a look back to the era BEFORE the set-bonuses.

    Well if they every made it I would say hyper impulse turn x 3 but I've never seen it.
    Shield go with a few and have them on hand for you I would say resilient or regin because BOP is squeasy try the adv fleet and have both a resA and resB on had to switch between
    And deflector is mainly what every you go for in BOFF powers

    They have Advanced Fleet Hyper-Impulse [turn]x3[spd]. I've had them for months. They are the best Hyper-Impulse engines, with Omega engines coming second.

    As for the original question, I'd say:
    * Advanced Fleet Resilient Shield Array with ResA or ResB (I'd buy both and swap as necessary).
    * Advanced Hyper-Impulse [turn]x3[spd]
    * Advanced Positron Deflector Dish (either the defense or accuracy versions)

    TBH, in terms of deflector, I'd really recommend going Positron Deflector mk xii with [shds] and [sif], from the exchange. For the third mod, anything you might use, I guess, but that combination serves me well on my post-S7 BoP's.

    Running the Efficient Impulse Engines from the 3rd KDF mission and a mk xii Covariant [reg]x3 (or a resilient with [cap]) to go with that.


    Edit: Nevermind me, we were talking hypotheticals, not advice for new character :)

    I was a little concerned at the thread title, that this might be NSFW. :P


    I'm not really sure what you're looking for.

    Without set bonuses, there is very little to discuss. You simply pick the mods you think will work the best for your build.

    If you were limiting yourself in this way, I'd probably choose the following:

    Covariant Res A & Res B Adapt Elite Shields
    Advanced (not elite) Hyper Impulse with 2x SPD
    Whatever deflector fits your build


    To be honest, I'm having a hard time trying to understand what your goal is with an ENG in a BoP, and not using any sets at all.

    I been using a positron deflector from the exchange over my fleet or set versions on some of my characters. Its Mk XII with [Shds] [Sen] [Stl]. It gives +35 to my shield systems so more then any other deflector I could find and has the other great bonuses positron deflectors give.

    Also Hyper engines with [Aux] [Spd] [Turn] can be bought at near vendor price and is almost as good as fleet engines.

    The Breen engine is a great free engine that is one of the best turning ones I've found. I've a mkXII hyper {spd}{turn}X2 that doesn't quite match the breens maneuverability running low engine power.

    A mk11 covarient [cap]X2 is cheap and works as well as my mkXII KHG so I can only imagine how good the fleet covariant will be.

    Can't go wrong with a positron deflector unless you need the sci buffs.

    What's your engine level at?

    And, are you referring to the Elite or Advanced hyper-impulse? Advanced Hyper-impulse is [turn]x3[spd]. Elite is [turn]x2[spd].

    Thats a non-fleet engine, and that toons a 7 IIRC, with engine @ 45ish with bonus's. At 90 the hyper comes to life but I get nothing left for weps or shields so I usually run a combat engine.

    I'll have to check the Breen engines again. I run engine power level at 52, and I have yet to find anything that beats the turn rate of the Advanced Fleet Hyper-Impulse [turn]x3[spd].

    Ahh, never compared the breen against that one, only against the exchange items. I think the OP says he wants non-fleet, non-stf stuff. Given the choice I too would take the hyper [turn]X3.

    How does it compare to the Omega? That's one step down from the Advanced Fleet Hyper-Impulse (same flight speed, but a slightly smaller amount of turn rate).

    Original question said Advanced Fleet gear was an option, but not Elite, rep, or STF gear.
