NegVar and Pvp questions

Hi, I was wondering does anyone use a negvar, *seriously* for pvp?

Also wondering, is it possible for a well fitted cruiser to kill another well fitted cruiser each flown by competent players?

Also wondering, can a highly competent skilled/fitted escort pilot kill an equivalent fitted heal oriented cruiser?

Can a negvar be an efficient tank/healer?

Are 90% of ships mostly useless in pvp? Meaning why fly X in X role when its better done with Z...therefore why does X even exist at all?

    Yes, the ship build guide has some examples of pvp builds
    Yes
    yes
    yes
    yes, though the constant lockbox new ships seem to render existing ships obsolete every time they are released.

    If that's your definition of mostly useless, then yes.

    They exist because:

    (a) Players like different ships for RP value (for example, the Varanus is inferior to the Palisade - but it's great if you like Gorn).

    (b) The best ships are Fleet / Lockbox / Lobi and can therefore be difficult to obtain. "Lesser" ships give players cheaper options.

    Yes, I don't personally because I'm not a big fan of the design behind the ship, but I have friends and fleeties that use it.
    Also wondering, is it possible for a well fitted cruiser to kill another well fitted cruiser each flown by competent players?

    Yes, I often do it in 1 on 1 matches against friends in my Excelsior, Mogh and Tor'Kaht.
    Also wondering, can a highly competent skilled/fitted escort pilot kill an equivalent fitted heal oriented cruiser?

    Absolutely. Assuming that they're really equally skilled it would boil down to momentary decisions and reflexes, but the escort has a good chance.
    Can a negvar be an efficient tank/healer?

    Yes.

    Let's put it this way....PvP is 90% useless in this game.

    Can one good single escort take out a competent healer with a good build in a cruiser? No. An engineer with a good build in an Odyssey or similar cruiser can be unkillable in PvP. Can easily soak 1-2 escorts without breaking a sweat. Look at Renim's heal build. I'm not aware of an escort out there that can take him out. There may be one.
    Is the Neg viable in PvP? Yes. Nokhor runs a fleet Neg that owns. I think he switched recently to an Obelisk but you should PM him if you see him and talk about his build.
    Elite Fleet Disruptors will set you freeeeee!!

    hi guys, thanks for the opinions, what do you think of experimental romulan plasma beams?

    Renim's heal build, Nokhor I'll have to find them :)

    Romulan plasma with the 2-piece singularity harness set (console and experimental beam) is great. The experimental beam drains no power when fired with other weapons but it has no [acc] mods. I think it has built in [critH]x3.

    You can only get two mods on the reputation store romulan plasma weapons so you'll be out 10% accuracy if you go this route.
    Current ship/builds:
    KDF Tac: Bortasqu' Tactical
    Fed Tac: Fleet Gal-X

    Keep those big guns a-thunderin'

    90% of ships in the game were useless compared to a certain few until tech doffs came along. now just about any cruiser can be pretty nice. these COM, LTC eng cruisers benifited greatly from them
