The problem is we don't know the full story.
We have all offered to help in one form or another. For my part asking about the build was to see if things were matching up, or if there were abilities that weren't going to help against the Vaadwaur. Like if they had Emergency to Shields where Reverse Shield Polarity would probably be far more useful. That was my thinking. You can dang near nullify at least one artillery barrage with just one click of RSP if you know for a fact you're not gonna be able to clear the AoE in time.
Long term vs immediate. *shrug* Either way that particular hurdle has been dealt with.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

Besides... I ran into some of the same issues... years ago up against that legendary D'Deridex while flying a T3 Ambassador cruiser. (Or maybe it was one of the free T3 ships, I forget, but I was like level 22). It was typematching and slotting Emergency to Weapons and such that got me out of it.
Oh don't talk to me about D'Ds man... that broke me of one of my favorite tactics at the time. Warp Plasma + Mines in the face.
I still have nightmares of that... *shudder*
Seriously though... Up until the old Romulan arc my favorite tactic in my shiny new T3 cruiser was to dump Warp Plasma to catch ships and drop mines right in their face. Then the D'Ds came and wiped the floor with me. Spent most of the Romulan arc afraid to go within 5k of a D'D. I didn't discover Polarize Hull until later. Now its one of my standard abilities I try and slot.

But if the OP is flying a T6, then he's already learned the basics enough to get to this point.
Did they tho...really did they? Because with the UTTER lack of sharing ANYTHING about what they are doing, that seems like a rather silly assumption to make.
im in a t6 and all my gear is Mk XII blue or better. using every defensive buff i have still doesn't get me through 10 seconds of those vaadwaur cruisers dropping those blue spacial charges on my spawn point.
i just don't see how anyone can legitimately tell me that's a fair or fun game mechanic.
Right...because using mark XII blue+ gear and "all the defensive buffs" they have is telling us EVERYTHING we need to know. You realize that basically is telling us NOTHING right? RIGHT? ANYTHING you infer from just that bit of information if you just making TRIBBLE up.
I was answering the T6 bit.
Nothing more. I see no reason to make stuff up as I'd already given my advice and the issue has been solved.

Hopefully the information provided by various people has been useful to him - apparently the issue was solved another way.
