The Science killer

sonnikku

I might be going up against a fleet mate in the near future that runs a science ship, but I know almost nothing about them so I thought I'd ask for advice. Fellow fleet mates report being disabled/crippled and stuck to death while being worn down. What Science strategy relies on this and what is the best method for directly countering this kind of build? I run a wide range of cruisers and escorts (but no lock box things) and have access to most of the best weapons (running romulan plasma currently).

First, are u engie or tac, also
which science ship, and what abilities have you seend her/him use?

off the top of my head (if ur an engie), i'd reccommend an agile cruiser, like the Excelsior or Avenger (fleet of course), running an aux to batt, Beam fire at will (in case of sci carrier, also cause this is very good 1v1), build with Emergency power to weapons and emergency power to engines thrown in there somewere, as speed will be life in this fight, (i am assuming tykens rifts and/or grav wells). if you can find the space, add attack pattern beta. Science team 1 is also not a bad idea here.

if you havent seen them use hazard emmitters consider eject warp plasma 3, otherwise emergency power to weapons 3...

plasma weapons is good cause through shield damage is very much your friend here.

run weapons heavy and get a Weapons power to shields warp core, (fleet elite if possible)
