Returning Player - Faeht Build

whiteshores

Hi all,

I'm a returning Lifer, and although my Fed is my main, I've become increasingly interested in my Romulan Tac captain. I tried the Scimitar and it didn't turn out to be what I'd hoped, so I gave the Faeht a second go and seem to be doing well.

I was hoping that someone could assess my setup and tell me if it's decent for someone who's just starting to develop the character. He obviously has a lot of reputation building to do, but fortunately, I can afford most anything fleetwise.

My DOffs aren't ideal, but that's another consequence of building reputation. They are as follows:

Conn Officer x2 (Blue) - +Accuracy, +Perception for Tactical Team
"Law" Very Rare Projectile Weapons Officer - Chance to reduce time to recharge torpedoes
Fabrication Engineer - Increases the duration of Reverse Shield Polarity

I'd also be interested to know of any unique consoles or DOffs I might be able to purchase, which I don't already have, which might support my build and the hit-and-run style of the Faeht. I have about 300m EC to burn.

In terms of gear, am I ready to start running normal STFs? I'd like to get the Romulan some of the Borg consoles. Back when my Fed got them, you received the consoles as a reward for the STFs, but those days are sadly gone.

Thanks all!

EDIT: Revised build link to include changes to BOff abilities.

You might wanna replace the EPtS1 with ET1. The drawback of OSS is a nasty one and ET counters it, it also gives you at least one proper hull heal.
Aside from that it looks solid. "Normal" STFs are a joke stuff dies from just looking at it, advanced is where you need a proper build and good teamwork.

I'll take your advice into use concerning switching to ET.

As for the STFs, given your opinion, am I solid for Advanced as well? The only thing I can do from here gearwise is grind reputation and marks (which usually means STFs), unless there are other good things on the market which I could buy.

Your build is solid enough for advanced, just don't pug it. Since they made "optional" objectives mandatory in advanced and elite it's become pretty unpugable.
And replacing your current tac consoles with the fleet spire ones would also be a good idea, if you got the $ for it.
