Having got my feet wet, polarons have my vote as the best type. Resiliant resb shields seem to be the go to shields, polaron isn't listed.
Plus it really messes up anyone without power insulators and still does a little something to those that do.
In pvp, I am a big green horn, I rely on my gear to get me through. I have faith in polarons
Your faith is horribly misplaced young padawan, Polarized Disruptors are far superior to them in every way. Polaron Rappage + Dusruptor things = Better stuffs.
Inertia just means you can do Powerslides in you carrier!

That's actually what I'm using...but due to what I said before I would think straight polaron would be better
Polarons weaken how hard your target hits, how fast they go. How strong the heals are and weaken the resist/regen rate of shields.
Plus they don't worry about resb(my assumed most common type) 15% shield res
Plus polaron is purple, purple is awesome
Polarized disruptors do all that PLUS the Disruptor proc. Minus the 15% reistance drop, at least they might, i dont remember which is ResA and which is ResB and whats on them.
And Polarized Disruptors are pinkish green....:eek:

So, is there a lockbox ship that can do that better? And I'm looking for a PvP build, not neccesarily PvE.
I'll be perfectly honest here, I'm not really big on lockbox ships so I don't use them except one - the Krenn Temporal Destroyer. But that is more of a damage dealing ship than a combination of DPS/Tanking one. From what I can see on paper, the Tholian Recluse *might* be what you're looking for, but I can't speak first hand about it. I also stopped paying attention since the Elachi lockbox, so I have no real idea on these new Elachi & Voth ships.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpfull in regards to lockbox ships.
Elachi, Anitproton, Rom plasma OR Polarized disruptors, depending on what you wanna do.
So if I already have a lot invested into Antiproton on my character, I shouldn't switch? I've heard that you can get wicked plasma damage by using the vulnerbility consoles and the embassy consoles. I don't want to give up my field gens though, such tank there!

Oh no, Prophets, please don't!! Oh, what have I done?!? :eek:
If i could i would find away to make it loud speaker or auto chat "i came in like a wrecking ball", everytime i hit a very specific power (something i dont hit too often)

You are good with Anitprotons, and Yes Rom Plasma with Embassy consoles + locator and vulnerability consoles is also pretty epic.

Hard call. All things being equal Antiproton is the top, but in order to get the set bonus for AP you can't have AMP.
For PVE plasma is the winner because the experimental array gives you both a zero energy weapon and a set bonus, with bfaw being the highest damage potential. And you can have AMP.
Ok, so apparently I have pretty much all what you guys said, but from what I'm getting, if you use the spire consoles that give you crit chance and plasma, then use fleet plasma or rommie plasma, and the science cosnoles that boost your plasma damage, you have a DPS monster? But my question is, is this effective in PvP? I've heard that everyone and their brother's dog has plasma resist I currently use AP.
I don't PVP, but if I were going to i would probably run Tet. why? no one does. and I bet no one speccs against it
Hey guys, I'm looking for a good DPS/Tank ship for my fed. Lockbox ships are preferred. What energy type is the best for DPS? How do I get the huge numbers other people get?
I believe the The Voth Bastion Flight-Deck Cruiser would be good for you..
Use Antiproton weapons for the moment it's King in PVP.
I'm use a eng toon and 99%of the time I out dps Tac toons in full team pvp.
Use runabouts for tractor beams!
min load out to Tank right.

Ensign Universal Sci Polarize Hull
Lieutenant Tac Tac team,BF at Will
Commander Eng EptA,Auxb,Rsp,Dem..
Lieutenant Commander Sci Hazard Emitters,!<Photonic Officer>!,Tractor beam
don't for get the Reflective Immunity Matrix set...
yes Mobius Temporal Destroyer is good ship
lower Shield Modifier then the Bastion
lower Hull then the Bastion
the temporal set hurts Mobius as a tank
Voth Bastion Flight-Deck Cruiser beater tank!
op asked for a tank...
Mobius Temporal Destroyer is not a tank...
Lol this necro thread though xD, anyway yeah I ended up with a mobius and fleet excel, and love 'em both to death. Can't wait for T5U mobius, 5 tac consoles
Yes yes the Bulwark is good too, but look at this:
The bulwark turns at 7 degrees per second. Slow right?
The Risan Cruiser turns at 10. Much better.
They both have 5 engineering consoles.
If you buy the fleet consoles at the fleet dilithium mine, you can buy a lot more that give you health than turn speed, because the turn rate of the Risan ship is already good, meaning the Risan cruiser effectively has more health.
Also, the Risan cruiser has one more Tact console, meaning it has more firepower.
I have one, and I love it. If you didn't get one this year, you can get it next year
On a side note, if turn speed is not that big of a problem for you, then the Bulwark is the best option.

So then, what energy type would be best for PvP?

The only advantage is that most shields dont have a resist to it. But you kill the shield power it doens treally matter does it?

Something similar to this (though I'd probably not run that torpedo if I ran it right now)
