What do you put in your ship device slots?

Just wondering what people put in their ship device slots. I've seen the satellite devices and of course there are the batteries, just wondering if they are worth or practical to use in stfs.

Thanks

ps - I'm setup as a beam boat

    Batteries or the subspace modulator. I never really got into using the turrets.

    A stack of weapons batteries, with 40 spares in inventory, and the modulator doojiggy. If I've got more than 2 slots to work with, I'll add the red matter capacitor or an engine or aux battery depending on the build, with the occasional turret or jevonite hardpoint substitution.

    I used to hot-swap the RMC and weapons battery in the first device slot in mid-combat until Cryptic broke the device slotting in the tray in season 7. Now I don't really regret not getting that purple quartermaster battery doff. It would be totally useless for me because of that bug.

    Sub-space modulator, deuterium surplus, plus the scorpion fighters device. There's nothing else that fits there.

    SFM, Deuterium, Space Pirates and sometimes scorpion fighters.

    Anything else depends on what i am flying. Sometimes weapon batteries, sometimes Aux.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    If that is the Nimbus Pirate Distress call you are on about - it works from your inventory, you do not have to slot it.

    Deuterium, satellite turrets and the scorpion fighters from the mission. I don't use batteries.

    What are these jononite hardpoints? I've never heard of them.

    Weapon Batteries are a must have IMO. They are used when getting into combat out of full impulse.
    Other then that: Aux batteries on grav well users.
    Deuterium surplus on non-grav well escorts ( was to lazy yet to farm those on my rom toons^^)
    Red matter capacitor in case the batteries are in CD or in case a Grav well user wants to attack out of full impulse...
    Subspace modulator in case I have slots to waste...


    Nimbus pirates does not need a device slot.

    Do you mean the Nimbus Pirate Distress Call?

    You do not need to slot it. All you need to do is keep it in your personal inventory.

    Depends on the ship, really. Batteries and deployable satellite turrets are the most common for me. But there will also be a place for the subspace field modulator, no exceptions.


    I'm also rather fond of the disposable Scorpion fighters.

    I try to use the same layout on all ships so I can memorize keys

    Slot 1: Weapon Battery if beam drain is a concern, otherwise Red Matter Capacitor if I have it
    Slot 2: Shield Battery
    Slot 3: Deuterium Surplus, or Engine Battery if I'm out of Deut
    Slot 4: Ablative Jevonite Hardpoints, or Weapon Platform if I'm out

    They add 100 points to your structural integrity skill for 15 minutes. They're pretty tasty. Think they're from a doff chain, but can be bought on the exchange.

    Prototype ablative jevonite hardpoints is the full name, if I remember right.

    You know, you can use the distress call from your inventory. Just sayin'.

    As for me? Subspace field modulator and aux and weaps batteries on my battlecruisers, with the addition of Scorpion fighters on my cruisers.

    Galaxy Dreadnought - Fleet Variant:

    Red Matter Capacitor, Rechargeable Shield Battery, Subspace Field Modulator, Heavy Phaser Turret.

    Good all round mix, though some 'fun devices' would be very welcome.

    SFM and RMC, depending on if the ship can slot more...it depends on what ship and what I'm aiming to do.

    I like to do turret doff missions since they build up marauding/diplomacy...sometimes I use them on bosses who don't do much or any aoe.

    Scorpions I use sometimes too...just wish they didn't share a cooldown with just about like every other single device slot item that does damage. :mad:

    Nothing, I hate using consumables which limits things to just the unnecessary Subspace Field Modulator.

    Depending on the number of device slots and the ship I'm flying, I almost always have the modulator, pirate call and satellite turret in pve, and large weapons batteries, scorpion fighters, modulator and occasional jevonite hardpoints in pvp.
