Request for Suggestions for Tal Shiar Battle Cruiser Build

havocsphere

Hello,

I'm looking for suggestions on a build for the aforementioned ship. I've not really found much on the forums covering this, yet. So, I thought I'd ask to see what players are running on it. I have access to Tier V for both Omega and Romulan Rep. projects. I've heard about Aus2Bat builds, but I'd be interested in learning more about that, if someone could point me to a thread, that would be cool. I'm an Eng. VA.

Regards

deamy

Thanks for the suggestions. I currently fly a JHEC, so this ship is pretty different. This is the build I currently have in mind:

With Doffs:
Ten of Ten x3

and

Marion(sp?)/?

or

2x Conn Officer for TT cooldown.

As I've never flown an Aux2Batt build I'm certainly open to suggestions/comments.

Thanks in advance.

heres what i would do with the ship. Its made for alpha strikes though but with beam overload
is can hit in any direction. And it goes with the all out borg sheme.
Left out consoles are both adapted consoles from battlecruiser and the adapted destroyer.
You might think about dropping the Field Generator in favor of the Valdore console.

1)Romulan consoles only work on ships with Singularity cores. Despite the Skill Planner site letting you put a Singularity Core on it, you actually can only fit Anti-Matter Cores on the Tal Shiar and other lockbox ships (at least at present).
2)This is the Federation Shipyards subforum, it's likely this person is using the ship on a pure Fed char which means no Rom ship access.

My apologies for the confusion. I'm playing a Fed Eng, VA and I don't pvp (but perhaps in the future I will).

Any advice on Doffs?
