This Far No Further...

I fly a Fleet Assault Cruiser as my main ship. It has given me a 31k ISA run but that's as far as i've gotten with it. So i'm looking for advice on how to increase that number, whether that's piloting or build advice.

This is my build as it stands at the moment. Both tacs are superior rommy operatives, one of the aux batts is actually an engine batt.

Thanks:)

As a Fed, you can get two pirate boffs (engi and sci+intel) for a bit of extra damage. The sci+intel pirate boff comes from the Delta episodes, while the other is available from Jiro Sugihara on ESD after reaching rank 4 diplomacy commendation (make sure to buy the Nausicaan.) This can give you a nice little bump in damage.

Aside from that, your weapons should really be upgraded to XIV. Don't bother chasing rarity upgrades: the jump in damage from XII to XIV is massive, while the jump from purple to epic is miniscule. Just going to XIV should boost your damage output by 30% or so.

You can also squeeze a bit more plasma damage out of sticking two embassy sci consoles with [+pla] in your sci slots.

The [acap] from your core doesn't require a device slot. It can be used with the core equipped, you'll find it listed in your ability window. It's also quite terrible and never worth using when an aux battery is available. Stick in a stack of weap batts in its place.

I'd also drop the proton weapon and replace it with the romulan torpedo. That 3-pc bonus plasma burn is a nice ability.

I'd ditch the Protonic Arsenal components and put another BA in place. You could then use an Embassy Sci console, say Flow Cap, to boost the Plasmonic Leech and [Pla] to add another chance for more Plasma proc (as I imagine it working).
