Why is literally everything one shotting me ever since I got to level 45ish?

This is literally unplayable. The only way to kill a single enemy is to wait 15 minutes for the Nimbus Pirate Distress Call and let them deal with it...

Yes, Phaser, Mk XII, I managed to get to 65 somehow, phewdavefenestrator wrote:This is behind the times (see above) but if you're EC-poor despite access to Admiralty and Endeavors:
For cheap damage resistance, craft a VR Mark II neutronium engineering console and level it up with Superior, Phoenix, Omega (kind of a waste) or Romulan admiralty tech upgrades. If you don't have R&D leveled up ask a friend, a fleet mate, or buy one (at Mark II !) from the Exchange.
Make sure you have some heals in your bridge officer powers, though if you're an Engineer your class heal is great for that too.
I'm Tac, and yeah, I'm using all the kinetic and other resists I can find. It is mostly the kinetic damage dealing over 50k dmg, in one hit, hitting multiple times, that kills me, shields up or not, meanwhile my torpedoes crit for 10k if I'm super lucky and enemies don't have any shields left over on them."sarah2774 wrote:

You need to provide a bit more information.
What is the latest mission you have done? so we can work on the episode set that you have to keep cost down.
I actually switched to the T'Pau I got from anniversary, and it got a little better, but still can't survive much. I was making my way through the last Dyson Episode when the server downtime started. Even the Science Ship I got after going to the other sphere through that portal is getting wrecked with a couple of salvos from enemies. It's supposed to be some super advanced ship, but it survives about as much as the next repurposed scrap.
Basically, no one will convince me anymore that NPC damage is fine, sorry but it's out of hand.

^ Example Build with a T'pau. You can stick standard Exotic Particle Generators in the sci slots(you'll need 5) and Console - Tactical - Chronometric Capacitor for 250-300 EPG before you add a deflector with EPG or Temporal Spec.(This is how that ship does damage..With the exotic damage abilities like Gravity Well)..Quantum Phase Weapon set is nice (Especially when you secondary spec into Drain). The only other Phaser sets are the Prolonged Engagment (Mission Reward) and Trilithium Laced..At least they are free right?
A great multi purpose space set is the Bajoran. Everything is re-engineerable and that deflector can go as high as the Solanae for EPG (+50)

What ship are you running?
After 45 your going to want to standardize around an single energy type (Also beam or cannons not both*).. Use the Tac consoles to boost that energy type.
If you havent already you might want to fillout your skill tree..Start working on Reputations..RnD..There are some free Space traits on the exchange and missions..Some good gear as well.. Sol Defense will help out with resistances until you go that part down.
Probably going to need attack pattern Beta..Hazard Emitters and Tac team on your ship..(Highest Fire at Will (3) or Scatter Volley if you run cannons)
Also..If your in game..Add me Jacobs@odinforever20000 and I will not only help but wipe out some of those Npcs that are bothering ya..Think of me as a summoned pet assuring npc destruction:P
Rouge Sto Wiki Editor.
your "build" is probably junk and are you using a T5 ship with mk 12 gear?
if your not good with staying in that 45 degree arc... do NOT use dual cannons. ease of use would be only use beam arrays... very wide firing angle and decent dps. also make sure your power is 100 to weapons.
have some good consoles to heal ya... hopefully you have some of those event ship consoles that can heal.

Yup..Your at the "NPCs WILL kick your butt rank with lvl 45 Builds"..The game doesn't train you for after lvl 45. You should be far more powerful that the nimbus summons.
Starship Mastery Unlock:: Honored Dead (1m ec) builds up your resistances.
Genetic Resequencer - Space Trait: Oblique Shielding = More base resistances. (about 4m ec)
Are you using 1 energy type? Like Phaser or Plasma? 1 Energy weapon type say Beam arrays or Cannons?

Do you have https://sto.gamepedia.com/Fek'Ihri_S'torr_Warship or https://sto.gamepedia.com/Vulcan_T'Pau_Scout_Ship.?
Those level up ship can be used until you get to 65. Then you can decide on what ship you want to get.

It's not the ship but your build. NPC damage will be high if you fly with rubbish gear. No matter how good the ship is if you fly without shields you will die. At 65 you are suppose to have all that gear and the storyline episodes should have been completed. You are only at the start of getting ships mission sets which are vital in surviving episodes. If the NPC damage is out of hand then everyone should be struggling. Everyone doing fine only you are struggling.
Use the https://sto.gamepedia.com/Solanae_Hybrid_Technologies. Since your weapons are Phaser, Mk XII it should be fine temporary. The gear are just enough but you need to improve your survivability. Later missions when you get a better set replace them.
Skill tree should be heavy on survival to offset your weak gear unless you are willing to upgrade gear to higher Mk level. There should be an upgrade weekend coming soon. You can use https://sto.gamepedia.com/Phoenix_Universal_Tech_Upgrade
You need survival console and traits. The cheapest path is to use reputation gear. Lukari has the best survivability. https://sto.gamepedia.com/Lukari_Restoration_Initiative_Armaments https://sto.gamepedia.com/Lukari_Restoration_Initiative_Starship_Technologies
Those are later mission set which you can get for free.
