    So if the requirement is for ships using mostly sci based attacks that would allow for anything down to Lt Cmdr sci seating?
    I have a Fleet patrol escort refit with a Lt Cmdr sci seat and also the science command battle cruiser running a torp/sci build. Are those OK to fly I'm guessing?

    Joined, be interesting to see how this develops.

    I no longer do any Bug Hunting work for Cryptic. I may resume if a serious attempt to fix the game is made.

    Just ask the people your doing the run with if it's OK. That seems to be the best advice I can give...

    I really don't want to feel restrictive, but...
    Let's take my Arbiter setup I usually fly it with. It has sci officer in it's universal slot, so it has ST 1, TBR 1 and TSS 1, HE 2, GW 1. I would *never* call it a science oriented build and would never fly it in TSC runs, yet it totally suits with previously suggested lt. commander science stuff.

    The purpose of channel is to unite all players who enjoy playing science oriented, to show that these seemingly quite forgotten ships can do something as well and the game is not designed only around Scimitars with [dmg]/[crtd]x3 [pen] beams. Also to show Cryptic that someone still flies sci vessels. I understood from the beginning that it will be a niche channel and it will be mostly federation-oriented. Of course I offer my help with any builds and questions that come up in the channel chat and as I've stressed multiple times, no one will be banned if we find them flying a non-sci vessel, but I'm just afraid if I would openly advertise builds like previously mentioned, the purpose of channel would be lost and it would turn into DPS-Public clone.

    And if for you, heals+TBR+GW = science build, then sorry, you've misunderstood something. (You'll be still welcome in this channel for ideas though :) )

    THE SCIENCE CHANNEL, very nice idea, would also be nice to have, sci/eng/tac sub forums so the chat in the forum is just on those builds. Will join today for one of my alts is a sci guy.
    Positive thoughts.

    Cool. I was just thinking about kitting out my science toon.
  • samt1996samt1996 Member Posts: 2,856 Arc User
    Sure. Just ask before running a mission if it's cool.
  • samt1996samt1996 Member Posts: 2,856 Arc User
    I think that'd be an acceptable theme song. :D

    To be honest I'm not a Bill Nye fan... not by a long shot. If we were to have a patron perhaps someone who's actually accomplished something Scientifically? My personal favorite being Nikola tesla.

    FYI - Be on the lookout. The new skill tree just came out and the pitchforks against science are already up.

    Also, aux scaling is apparently borked for Sci captain and BOff skills. I haven't tested yet due to time constraints but maybe some of you can have a look.

    Thread was closed but the details are here: https://redd.it/46pf9k

    PM dude. 12:00AM tonight, in about 3 hours, would have worked out for me. Busy tomorrow, you know, with life.

  • samt1996samt1996 Member Posts: 2,856 Arc User
    Thanks I always mix those two things up.

    Anyways it should be brief so if you get a lunch break consider popping in for even just a few minutes.

    This is only an official starting time. I, for instance, plan to linger for several hours in there.

    so, did samt ever finish the comprehensive guide to science he mentioned he was making back on page 1 of this thread?​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    The skill Revamp has complicated things immensely... i don't see the point finishing it until the revamp is finalized.
