Both raiders have similar layouts, gear slots, battle cloak. Do the temporal abilities outweigh the intel abilities? Does the Tadaari's ability to take OSS make it better?

You get noodle deconstruction.
That one can easily crit for 60k times 5 ticks with little effort...
Not to mention you can pop a massive debuff bubble that will turn everything in it into babys.
Also, the 3 set temporal consoles are actually powerfull. With a one min cd.
You get a srong heal console, a damage buff console and a control console...
Oh and one of the malso gives you the effect of the vonph trait, but with less magnitude. A constant CD reducer for your boff powers.
No reason to got the the na kuhl boat unless you really dig the design.
The Temporal ships just have too many good things stacked on them.
For a raider, I'm very impressed with its handling and capabilities.
Being critical doesn't take skill. Being constructively critical- which is providing alternative solutions or suggestions to a demonstrated problem, however, does.
Too bad it doesn't come with a Bop or T'varo holo disguise.
I would recommend the Ouroboros.
So far I used a lot of Channeled Deconstruction. It's an Entropy Builder on top of being a simple damaging power. If you have a Builder, you probably also want a consumer. Timeline Collapse seems straight-forward enough.
Recursive Shearing is particulaly useful if you use it shortly before you do a massive alpha strike. (provided the enemy survives in the first place:p).
But I haven't made any final assassments on which powers are great and which aren't.
A good one yes, but its one thing the taldaari has over the ouro.
Compared to the already listed perks:
I am not sure about the names, but there isa bubble power that sets up a massive debuff bubble that will turn the ships in it into weak babys.
Channeled deconstruction is a good damage tool and builds entropy. witzh entropy yo ucan supercharge timelinecollapse and other abilites like it.
All in all, the ouro wins by being a brtual beatsticks with lots of powers stacked in its favors
MDB also heals your ship nicely, and disables your target for 3 seconds. If you build up defence counters instead its boosts the healing part of MDB instead for a major heal, or with the support counters at full makes the disable longer.
If you have the control amplifier skill trained MDB will also reduce damage resistance by 33%.
Also the Molecular Reconstruction Configurations are nice too. You have Defence Config +20% incoming hull healing, +max shield power, +1 defence counter ever 10s, Offence which is +20% turn rate, +20% flight speed, + max engine power, +1 offence counter per 10s, and Support Config, +40 control, + 20% exotic damage, +max Aux power.
Here is what I'd do with the Temporal Raider, I'd set up a torpedo sci/temporal build, cloak, build up your offence counters to full, get behind your target, switch to Support Config, decloak and fire MDB, Gravity Well, ect..., fire your torpedoes. Watch your target die.
On top of the stats and elements others have covered already, the last game winning thing about it?
It's a C-Store & Cross Faction Purchase. You are not playing Exchange Cloak & Dagger. You are not gambling on the Lockboxes or a Promo Pack, spending lord knows how much resources in the HOPE of acquiring one. It's a C-Store & Cross Faction Purchase. ALL your characters regardless of faction can claim the ship. It's also Fleet Level right out of the box. You'll be hard pressed to find a better buy than the 31st Cent Temporal Ships.
They are flexible for all sorts of builds, they have great consoles and traits, they have the cool and flexible Temporal Mechnics, Temporal Boffs slots, a really good mix of regular boff slots, good stats, very different types of ships, cool pets on two of them, but you can equipt other cool pets. And very affordable.
Honestly they're the best 3 pack of ships in the game, bar none.
It's relatively cheap as well now, i got mine for less than 100 mil EC.
And is Rapid Decay any good? Isnt it like a Sensor Scan?
As it is, I know I'm not using either to its full potential since I'm a casual player, but I like both ships.
It's like attack pattern beta except it does more resistance debuff and physical DOT. But it only targets one enemy. Which is another huge weakness of the temporal abilities - most only target one enemy instead of enhancing your weapon attacks which is what APB does.
But having flown the Eternal, I can't imagine using any other science vessel except when I care about the theme. The thing is a science beast, bar none.
I'm quite sure that the Ouroboros will end up supplanting my BoP's and light warbirds in the same way.
Would like to see some more visual/skin choices on all the 31st century ships, though.
And the Temporal BOFF powers seem unimpressive according to you guys and other threads. the Intel abilities still seem the best after all this time.
I dont have any other any other characters that I play, so the cross faction aspect is moot. I dont always play with sound, so the Tadaari engine noise wont bother me. I do hate the Na'Kuhl bridges....but its not like the 31st century ships have anything "new." Neither is customize-able either.
The deconstruction beam delivers a huge amount of physical DOT straight to the hull. I have killed people with it in pvp with a single shot. It's exotic damage, so it's modified by particle generator skill. I have zero points in particle gen and mine still managed to kill my opponent with one shot.
I have yet to see a ship hit with that beam in PvE that doesn't go boom shortly thereafter, unless it's one of those 'shoot to disable' things. Not even using any other Temporal abilities, just building up the counters.
I'm going to have to go looking for something tougher and see what happens. Like a Borg Tactical Cube or something.
I splurged and bought a Daemosh and it's hands down the best ship I've ever flown. I've been more successful in this ship than anything else in the game, highest parses, fastest runs, most fun.
It'll be a hard choice to move to something else on my main as it's just got everything I want from a science vessel. I love the looks too, and the sound doesn't annoy me either, can't hear it over the sound of exploding enemies anyway!.
They are probably using the trait that gives bonus damage based on aux power level.
