Odyssey Build Help.

edited April 2014 in Federation Discussion
As with my KDF, I decided to switch from Escorts to Cruisers for a bit of a change. I have the free anniversary Odyssey hanging around unused, so I decided to slightly modify my Bortas build for it. It's purpose is a PvE and missions.

Here is what I have so far.

I may swap one of the TT 1's for a TorpHY 1.

I have the Rom Rep all done and out of the way, so I'm using plasma, I'll leave it 'till S9 starts to get the store unlocks for free.

Any suggestions? Cruisers aren't really my specialty.

Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    From the standpoint of what you are going for I think its quite an ok build.

    You are not going to break any DPS / tanking records but it seems like a good overall build to me.

    I would however consider some other set, perhaps a the Adapted Maco 2-piece for more aux...

    And consider some doffs, namely Damage Control Engineers and perhaprs throw in 2 Tactical team cooldowns so you free up another tac boff for say High Yield (its more canon :P )...

    GL! :)

    PS: think you can safely remove one of those eng consoles for something else - Id take two off since you are stacked with diminshed resistances especially because of that Aux2Structual. You can fit something more useful in there ;)

    Thanks

    I haven't started the Omega rep on my Fed yet, I'm not too sure if I'm going to either.

    What other ENG consoles would you suggest then? Another turn, or a different type of armour?

    TT cooldown DOFFs, I'll have a look :) thanks.

    Some people may consider this cookie cutter but it seems like you are going for a romi plasma build. So I'd remove 2 of the nuetroniums and place the zero point and borg uni in their place. The 3 sci should be either 2 plasma infusers and 1 field generator or 2 field generators and 1 plasma infuser. I'd scrap the particle stabilizer. Remove one of the aft beam arrays and replace it with the omega torp so you get the 2 piece bonus plus its plasma.

    Field Gens or Plasma Infusers, thanks.
    I got the Borg console from the mission ages ago, I haven't started the rep yet, so maybe no Omega Torpedo for me yet :D.

    Omega torp sucks in its current (nerfed) state, Romulan torp is just fine (if you really want a torp...). Problem I have with torps on broadside build is that you barely come into arc to shoot one, you actually might consider taking a Trocobalt torp or the Transphasic cluster just for that big boom every now and then

    Other than that you might want to buff your shield a bit instead of punching 3 Damage Res consoles on (Dimishing Return!), something like Fleet emitter arrays or Field Gens.

    And the Beam Array overload is questionable since it screws up your weapons energy and that costs you more dps than it actually gets you if you can't properly control the drain.

    No omega torp then another more useful but unorthodox approach would be plasma mines. It is going to be hard to maintain power levels with a 7 beam broadside.

    I would probably set it up something like this...

    Thats a strong pvp build but he only has romi rep done. I'd go
    Fore E-PBA, 2PBA, ROMI TORP
    FULL REMAN SET
    Aft 3 PBA, Plasma Mines
    Zero Point, Borg Uni, RCS, Nuetronium
    2 Field Generators, Plasma Infuser
    2 Plasma Tac
    Based on what you have available that would be my recomendation.

    The Transphasic mines, they are the mission purples right?

    I'm holding out for the Plasmotic leach in the long run, just need some more cash.

    As I said above I don't have the Omega Rep up yet ;). Nor do I have that much Lobi :D.

    However what is the difference between the Vulnerability Locators and Exploiters?

    Breen Storyline Mission "Out in the Cold"
    But it isn't exactly a mine.

    Now season 9 is here I finished my build here.

    I got the Nukara rep up to T1 for the beam console, and the KCB from the Omega Rep, so it should get a 2P bonus with the AM.

    The blanks on the Sci slots are 2 plasma infusers, I couldn't find them on the database.

    Suggestions?
