    I haven't really built one in a long time but if they ever release a T6 T'varo I may purchase one some day and make a Plasma boat out of her.

    Plenty of annoying ships using torpedoes in PvP.

    Why are you using what could be the worst torpedo in the game, the advanced Q torpedo? With torpedo spread It does around half the damage of any other torpedo. The devs really need to rebalance that torpedo.

    Gateways is pretty useless for sharing setups as it shows the wrong bridge officer powers.

    I used the Jem'Hadar dreadnought for the basis of my torpedo bomber, purely because after buying it, I didn't want to kit it out as another beam boat. And a friend talked me into building the torpedo bomber for TRIBBLE n giggles. Fortunately it turned out to prove quiet effective, especially against slow or stationary structures. The one in the video was in it's second variant, If memory servers it's now in it's Mk 7 configuration, I'm slowly upgrading it to Mk 14 equipment.
    Oh, it's not broken? We can soon fix that!

    My ship, build and short ISA run are in my signature. Cheers to the Kinetic Kommunity!

    I've currently been using a quad cannon/bio/grav photon torp combo on the flight deck raptor...its pretty effective, considering I soloed the capital ship group in the tholian encounter (plus it looks awesome, quad and turrets blazing as it unleashes a hailstorm of torpedoes)​​

    @e30ernest probably has some build ideas that would be closest to what you may want. My signature has some builds, notes, and suggestions from others. Also, check out QWhips builds. I'll get him to post in this thread.

    Is the guide still being worked on? I lost edit access and had no response to my last email. Which admittedly was sent before I lost edit access but still I wasn't sure if the guide was abandon or still being worked on.

    EDIT: Just came across your response about the guide in the other thread. Let me know if I can help any more.

    A person outlines their thoughts, opinions, and experiences in an older thread "A Guide to Torpedo Boats" and others add to the conversation.

    Many people are running different builds. You can see a few here.

    I wish we could take a census of torp boats in this game. We aren't that many but there is a growing number of torp boats out there and interest seems to be rising thanks mainly to the insane stuff @darkknightucf has been doing. :smile:

    Maybe we can add a filter in SCM's table too according to weapon loadouts? Such as Cannon, Beam and Torpedo tables? For example, a torp boat should have at least 3 torps in the log, a cannon build should have at least 1 kind of cannon and turrets and the rest falls under beams?

    Shh. Stop spreading this around. I'd like to continue coming first every single time I face the CE. Particularly while this event is still running.

    How about a call to all in the Kinetic Kommunity... Thursday Night Throwdown at CCA. I want that thing dead in 30 seconds or less! Bring all the Kinetics, GWells, Sensor Scan's, and whatever you want to throw at it from the airlock! Heck, get some of the Ground DPS guru's, strap them to your hull, and let them join in on the fun!

    I love me some Torp Boats. My Rommie just needs a T6 Sci or a T'Varo really get in a good pounding. Lots of plasma death balls with a high yield Temporal Disruption Device in the middle is a beautiful thing.

    I have a Reman Science Captian using the Dyson Destroyer.... While not a "Torp boat" by standard definition I do consider her it, Why?

    Cause This

    Tetryon to melt shields from all angles, Grav Well to keep them glued, Omega for the speed boost to come about quickly, and then.. Torp Spread 3 of Gravimetrics to make the enemy yoyo all over itself till it explodes.

    The Empty Science slot is for the new Krenim Tetryon console(not on STO Academy yet) and the empty weapon is the Protonic Dual Heavy Cannons. I'll still be updating this build to include the Tetryon stuff from the new episode...​​

    If I may say, adding Tachyon Beam and Energy Siphon would suit that drain build. I would personally drop Photonic Shockwave and Polarize Hull. A high level Tyken's Rift coupled with the Gravimetric Scientist DOff that causes multiple Rifts to spawn will eat through power levels in a hurry.

    The Lobi Store has AoE Concentrated Tachyon Mines and you can get a Trait off of the Exchange that doubles the lock-on and tracking distance for mines (Hot Pursuit). It kind of makes them in to mid-range torpedo turrets. Alternatively, Tricobalt Mines would work with their AoE and Rift Generation ability.

    Just some suggestions. Take them or leave them as you wish.

    Yup...kinetics, grav well and resonance beam ftw (and the tachy pulse trait from the command ships^^)​​

    Unless something keeps me away, I'd like to provide my kinetic setup for the cause!

    I don't even use Photonic shockwave anyway. I always go tac mode for AP-Omega. As for everything else I'll take it under advisement ^-^​​

    Here's what you do

    1. Get 2 Forward dual beam banks
    2. Get 2 Fleet quantum torpedoes
    3. Get at least 4 quantum tac consoles
    4. Find a ship that can use HY3 and BO2 or better
    5. Set 3 projectile doffs that reduce torp cooldown
    6, Set 3 energy weapon doffs that grant 30% shield penetration 30% of the time on BO.

    The world then explodes.
