Hello,
I am RA5 for a while now an really like to PvP. As I play mostly in random groups, I do not really expect a great deal of coop and am OK with losing more maps than I win.
After a few weeks, I was a little frustrated, that in 1vs1 situations my Fleet Escort with a Tactical captain seemed a bit weak. I waited for season one with its many changes, the possibility to respecc and hoped it would get better.
But still im not really feeling competitive in 1vs1 situations, especially when my opponent either relies heavily on Sci abilities or is an engi/cruiser captain.
Here is my weapon loadout and BO:
Forward: 2x Tetryon DHC, 1 Tetyron Beam Array, 1 Quantum Torp
Rear: 2 Tetryon Turrets, 1 Quantum Torp
Tac BO Abilities: 2xHYT 1, Beam Overload II, AP Beta II, AP Omega III, CRF I & II
Eng BO Abilities: EPtS , Engi Team I, RSP
Sci BO Abilitis: Hazard Emitters, Sci Team II
Tac Consoles: 4x Tetryon Weapons +30
Eng Consoles: +6 WP, 2x 1,3 EPS
Sci Console: +15% able/alive Crew, +30 Hazard Emitters
I have fully specced into Cannons + Tetryon Weapons and Torps + Quantum Torps.
From memory DHC have "unbuffed" 1403DPS at a WP of 125.
Power levels in Attack mode (base/specced):
WP 100/125
SP 25/53
EP 25/50
AP 50/59
If all CDs are free I usually enter a fight with AP Alpha + Beta + CRF II + HYD I + Beam Overload. I continuously fire DHC + Turrets and keep the Beam Array in reserve for burst damage. Same goes for the Quantums. Although its not uncommen that I bring the 1st Torp volley early on its way, so that the second HYT I is ready when in close.
AP Omega is usually held back to break roots and Sci Team until its needed to break jam sensors or other Sci abilities.
DPS seems not to be a real problem with this build, as I usually rank pretty high in the after action report. But nevertheless its almost impossible for me to kill a single cruiser (both Klingon and Fed) that heavily relies on RSP and other engi abilities. I am either killed, cause i do not have enough repair and shield reggen or am forced to break of an run before I getting blown up. Even more depressing are fights against Sci Captains backed up bei BOs VM and other sci stuff.
As I am not the type of guy that blaims Crytics first and cries nerf, before evaluating my playing and build, I would appreciate a little help at this point become better an more successful.
