As The Science Channel will be celebrating its 1 year anniversary on February 3rd, we are happy to present couple of contests to STO community. If you find it uncomfortable to read the text with background image or just want to copy something, the text is also in a spoiler below the picture.
The Science Channel Anniversary
Ladies and gentlemen it is with great pleasure that we announce the one year anniversary celebrations for The Science Channel! After many years of neglect it has been great to see all our fellow space wizards come together to help popularize Science, as not only a viable playstyle but a powerful one. We had several events lined up for this celebration, unfortunately one of them which involves the foundry will be postpone due to the Foundry (most probably) being offline when Season 12 of Star Trek Online releases. However, we have three other community events and plenty of awesome prizes so please enjoy!
The following events could have been done without the support of our beyond amazing sponsors
- ashtarprime
- bossblt
- Casaubon
- comrademoco
- cryjacleu
- kronos1996
- lordsteve1
- mmps1
- tunebreaker
- GAFleet
- The 1st Fleet

The Discord Invite Code is invalid. When you Generate a Code it only functions for 30 Minutes by default. You need to create a new Code, except this time hit the gear icon in the lower right corner, and change the Expiration to Never.
Then Provide us with the new link.
Edit~
For some reason when I typed in the Discord URL Directly it caused Problems. Going to the Science URL Worked.
Discord Link: voice.stoscience.net
FOR SCIENCE!!!
Gratz on the 1st anniversary and looking forward to the 2d one. o7

The Science Ship Build Thread - Share your Sci Ship builds here!
Besides the STO League and the chat from my own community in STO its my favorite.
You always have some cool stuff running; let it be PvE, information or interesting conversation.
Looking for a fun PvE fleet? Join us at Omega Combat Division today.
Also, don't join TSC unless you enjoy carrying mmps1 in content.
Either that or to promote the usage of BFAW?
The top dps builds are using only 2 tac consoles too...
Great Contest guys, good luck with it and have a lot of fun:)

No, it isn't. The real reason we carry you is because we think you're adorable. You sit there all helpless in the middle of all that wizardry and destruction and you make those ginormous Bambi Eyes at us. Then, we all go, "Awwww! How cute! C'Mere!" XD
[/j/k]
Ofc we all know that no run will be successful unless Gruber is tanking.
Sylphrena at STO Academy
She's set up to do two things well. First, drop a decent amount of AoE damage hazards into a group of enemies. Second, and more fun, dive right into the mob and drag everything in sight down into the fire. You can lead in with GW3 and Anti-time Entanglement Singularity. Then the Neutronic, Particle Emission Plasma, and Gravimetric Photon torpedoes pile on more hazards. A hit of Scramble Sensors helps keep the heat off as you plunge into the hairball, throw Tractor Beam Repulsors 2 (with Graga Mal), and pop Coolant Ignition 1 and Metreon Gas Canisters. You get to enjoy the sheer fun of dragging a handful of enemies around helplessly through the gauntlet of Space Magic you've planted.
I could probably do a bit of tuning to the build still, and I haven't maxed out the equipment. It's still just a kick in the pants to fly.
(Edited to update build page with skills and addition of Metreon Gas Canister)
Edit: that's a lovely shot of your Tadaari. You sure you don't want to enter it to our screenshot contest? (http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline#/discussion/1227265/contest-tsc-1-year-anniversary-scienceshot)

This is my entry, the hyperoffensive Malon battleship, (the) Gassy Phoenix; bane of eco-maniacs and denier of subspace erosion!
Built for fun, its entire design is to pollute the stars in a way that would make a Malon momma proud

And welcome aboard
So, if I join with all three of my accounts, do I get three chances ? Just kidding, just like Fleet "events" I don't think having three accounts should entitle me to any better chances than anyone else. Recently decided to actually try a Sci toon and attempt to go with exotic damage instead of the old pew, pew, routine and then this post appeared. I'm joining the channel for the chance to pick peoples brains on using space magic not for the event ....... although I wouldn't turn down a prize if I did win lol
AOY tactical officer, originally spec'd to make better use of temporal ships, but after acquiring the Sphere Builder Carrier with the Delphic Shockwave trait I got the idea of modifying an intel scryer to make use of it. Makes use of beam arrays along with a three part sci combo: Tractor Beam Repuslors (with the pull doff), Photonic Shockwave modified as the Delphic Shockwave (starship trait), and Charged Particle Burst (triggers secondary deflector radiation damage.)
Since these sci abilities are not as dependent on aux power for maximum effectiveness I was able to lower my aux setting some to channel more power into weapons and shields for improved durability and offensive power.
Is your ingame handle at @jaycearden as well? If it isn't, I'd like to know what it is, otherwise we might end up sending prize to the wrong player, should we pick you as one of the winners.
