Mobius Destroyer Question

Hey all! Sci captain here. I really like STO and the science abilities on ships. I also know there are jokes about STO being Escorts Online. Is there than escort that has a boff layout that could pretend to be a Science ship but have the 4/3 weapon combination? I've looked through the wiki and it seems like the Mobius Destroyer is the closest thing that could use a lot of sci abilities and still have the fire power upfront.

Is there a different ship that could try to do the same thing or just the Mobius?

    The BOFF layout of the Elachi S'Golth is similar to the Mobius, but the Mobius benefits greatly from the Temporal Warfare set. I have access to almost all the lockbox ships, but I always find myself going back to the Mobius.

    yeah mobius is pretty versatile...I fly it with my sci sometimes.
    +10 weapons power, and a nice little +5 to Aux, helpful to the sci class.

    Thank you both of you. Can people still get the Mobius with Lobi crystals?

    What kind of setups do you run in the Mobius? If you don't mind me asking.

    The Mobius box isn't bound on pickup afaik, pretty sure you can buy one off the exchange, not in game atm...so just a guess

    I have a Mobius and a Wells and Korath. basically its an antiproton boat, so set it up that way, go for alot of crit chance, make it hurt....tis what i do..and it does smart the bad guys lol

    The Mobius Destroyer is available in the lobi store at 800 lobi crystals.

    This is the build I presently run, replacing the quantum torpedo + elachi console with a gravimentric photon torp + proton particle stabilizer console:

    The DOFF requirements are pretty steep -- 3 AP Conn DOFF's, 1 DEM DOFF, and either a PWO or Gravity Well Aftershock DOFF, but it works very well with the latter 5.

    I don't want to divulge my doffs yet as I'm trying to acquire my final one. There are quite a few people that are following my builds and I don't want them to jack the price up while I'm still farming. I'll update later.

    That's my typical fly around build. Does 15-20k dps with "my" doff bug (not an exploit, just not working atm)and the bfaw one as well....really looking forward to those fixes.

    My nws build is nearly identical to shar487a's. Except I use the Manheim device...i don't pop it ever. But freezing all enemy ships with the improved temporal back step is a lifesaver.

    And I use disruptors for the proc
    Chive on and prosper, eh?
