Tal Shiar Adapted Destroyer looks gorgeous, and I am thinking about buying one from the exchange.

Anyone that has one able to give me some advice on it? It is a great end-game ship? Fun to fly? Strong enough to do all content?

Thanks for any info or advice on that ship

    I'm sure this has potential to be as good as the breen ship in no win scenario, maybe beter, gw1 tbr1 and rsp1 access in one ship is pretty nice imo, breen ship can only access 1 tbr and gw.

    I ran Infected Elite space last night and this ship was part of the group. I don't know why but the captain kept on blowing up... as a comparison I ran the Tac Vesta Class. I guess they just didn't have enough heals and focused on DPS cuz it out DPS'd me, the two Oddys, and another Warbird.

    If you get this ship, I'd run it with enough heals... HE1&2 plus Aux2SIF1 is what I use on my Vesta. Plus it shield tanks thanks to the rep system and the Purple MK X warp core I got gives GW a nice boost.

    I personally have the space version of the Adapted MACO set for bonus torp damage. If you can't get it, use regular MACO space set for hull healing.

    Cmd tac: TT1, CRF 1 or BO2 if you run beams, HYT3 or TorpSpread 3, APO 3
    Ens tac: HYT 1 or TorpSpread 1 depending what you slot in the Cmd tac
    Lt. Cmd sci: HE1, HE2, GW1
    Lt. Uni: Set to Eng with EPtS 1, Aux2SIF 1
    Lt. Uni: either set to Tac or Eng and augment the build focus on your ship

    Space DOFFs:
    2 Damage Control Engineer purple (forAux2SIF hull heal), 1 Projectile Weapons Officer purple, 1 Energy Weapons Officer to lower cooldown on either Beam or Cannon abilities, and pick the last one that makes it useful for ya

    Hey guys, thanks a lot for all the info.

    I am sadface to hear that this ship is not as powerful as it is gorgeous. I'll probably only be able to afford to buy one lockbox ship, so maybe I'll wait for one that looks great and performs too.

    I am new to the game and it seems very complex, so I'm going to try and learn a little more before I settle on an end-game ship.

    You can wait and see til something comes out. I opened a box and got the JH Heavy Escort Carrier and its still in its box cuz I have no use for it.

    In the meantime, do more research...

    It's a decent ship, I suppose; it's decently balanced and stacks up well against most C-store T5 ships. It's nothing like the JHAC and makes you wonder what the hell PWE was smoking when they designed the thing, if that's for what you're looking. I have mine built as a torpedo/mine layer ship on my science officer and am pretty happy with it.

    The shrapnel torpedo isn't really bad, but it could use some love. It looks much better when you (more accurately) compare it to the point defense system consoles, than the spammier torpedoes or a torpedo spread. It's a small craft and frigate killer, not a particular heavy-hitter intended for use against escorts or larger.
    Somebody getting uppity about canon? No problem! Just take a deep breath, and repeat after me:
