Can we get the Kirk maneuver now? I'm tired of these Hurq swarmers.

We have the Picard Maneuver as a console, but it should really be a captain skill. I would like the Kirk Maneuver in the same way - so that we can do a fast 180 degree pivot at Warp 2... The Hurq swarmers following me around beating my aft shield and somehow surviving all my attacks upon them is just tedious and boring. It would help if I could have a fast way to get my nose around to attack the enemy.

    The funny thing is, when i read the title, i thought you meant blasting Sabotage and riding a wave of exploding Swarmers.

    I thought the OP meant hooking up with an Orion and getting one as a BoFF ... :wink:

    But seriously, the swarmers are a pain, but then, they are "supposed" to be!

    If you are running a Rom ship, the plasma shock wave really upsets them, And the "Singularity Manipulation" clicky confuses the hell out of them when you cloak for 5 secs.

    Any AoE/Chaining 'clicky' like the Teryon Blast thingy is also handy for clearing them. I also run the Kentari Massed Produced Missile Launcher in a rear slot whenever I'm fighting Hur'q, as that thing shoots ridiculously fast, and the Dmg + Radiation burn is usually enough to clear them.

    I thought the OP meant reprogramming the game so the Hur'q surrendered.

    The Kirk maneuver is a running jump kick, as executed on several episodes (my favorite being in "Journey To Babel", in which I'm not entirely certain his kick actually connected with anything - Bill Shatner is not a trained stuntman, after all).

    Waitaminnit! There's a "Kirk Maneuver"? One which does not get practiced upon the alien female of the week?

    EWP is your friend... and also that shield with 50% more rear shield strength.

    The Kirk Maneuver requires a legal team and DNA tests. It also helps to play 'Billie Jean' by Michael Jackson.

    Warp Plasma is pretty good at slowing them down enough for a full broadside.

    But Hur'q are evil for cannon builds... unless its a pilot escort using Lock Trajectory.

    I actually figured that's what people would think but we know that it was fiction, Kirk just made it up.

    So is STO...

    In fairness, we kinda do have it... Feedback pulse.

    Ah, the good old lunge for tac captains and boffs.

    No... Feedpack Pulse is not the same as the Corbomite Reflector. You still take damage with Feedback Pulse, and it doesn't reflect torpedo damage. Corbomite Reflector is essentially an "I am INVINCIBLE" button.

    You might, but in general most cannon builds kinda suffer.

    The larger ships wouldn't be a problem. Its the Swarmers and their love of hugging your 6 that are the problem for a lot of people.

    But that doesn't translate to "Swarmers are not a problem at all".
    Other players actually struggle with them in Cannon builds.

    Thats what aft torpedoes and Torp spread 3 is for!

    Hive Defense also works well as you just keep spawning in hordes of their buddies and they just chase each other around blowing up.

    Maybe you could look into the Enhanced Inertial Damper field from the T5 Hirogen Heavy Escort? https://sto.gamepedia.com/Hirogen_Heuristics

    It can only be used on escorts/raiders/pilot/Hirogen ships, but it sounds exactly like what you want.
