Are there any "easy-to-get" ship builds?

metalflower77

So, I'm looking for something that can handle missions solo. Equipment from missions, exchange, or even reputation. I have the Assault Cruiser, Breen Rezreth Dreadnought Cruiser, and Vulcan T'Pau Scout Ship. The two T6 ships are probably my best choices. I just don't know which energy type to go, beams or cannons, or which consoles and space sets. I haven't played in a while, and what I did use just isn't cutting it anymore. Just looking for something that I can use to farm reputation and resources until I can get Fleet or higher end reputation gear.

it just depends on you. there are people out there that can beat all the content on normal using tier 2-3 ships. tier 4 ships are doable, t5/5u ships should be doable for 90% of the players.

everything you have asked is purely your preference. what works for me may not work for you. if you want ideas, https://www.stoacademy.com/ is a good place to get ideas. as far as energy types, any will do, plasma is probably the hardest to get DPS up on. Phaser is the easiest. most min maxers prefer Antiproton.
I don't belong to a flet, and this build is over a hear old, but it could prove to be a basis for what you are doing.. I would not consider the T'Pau yet, sci majik builds can be tricky to pull off.

Energy type doesn't matter, but yes.. for a Fed.. Phaser will make things the easiest on you.

If you want some good build ideas for low budget builds, head on over to the Cheap DPS Builds page on the DPS League Site. These are cheap and easy builds that will clear anything you want story wise.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks guys. What about skill points, aside from focusing on the tactical tree.

If you use one of the DPS League Builds, they have the suggested Skill Tree filled in already.

This is my usual template for a Tactical Captiain. This template is for Tacs that don't use torpedoes. If you do use Torps, you can take out 1 point of Advanced Targeting Expertise and take 2 points out of Improved Defensive Maneuvering and put those 3 points into Projectile Weapon Training.

Feel free to move points around as you see fit, it's just general template. It's complete with Space and Ground allocations.
