Canon Sovereign (Enterprise-E) Build

With the release of the Metreon Gas Console (freaking finally!!!), I have decided to share my Sovereign/Enterprise-E canon build I made sometime ago. There's one for the Assault Cruiser, the Regent-class Assault Cruiser, and the Mirror Star Cruiser. There may be a few kinks in it but, I'm trying to perfect it the best I can. I mean, I'm making a build for a ship I probably won't get until Christmas.
For the Assault Cruiser and the Refit, it's pretty much the same, except put the Metreon Gas Module on the Refit. I know people like different modifiers (like Acc, Dmg, CrtD, CrtH) to I'll leave it up to you to pick what modifiers you want. And as for consoles, pick what you like, but I suggest an RCS Accelerator or two and fill the Tactical Consoles up with the Phaser Relay console.
Colors
The Left color has to be black, the left one I set as gray. All patterns need to be Andromeda, and the hull material is Type 2 with Windows Type 2.

This officer slot really depends on what you want out of your ship. If you want more of a healer type ship, put a Science Officer or Engineering. if you want a bit more damage, I suggest a Tactical Officer with Fire at Will trained.
Mirror Star Cruiser
This one was a little tricky, so I had to go and look at the regular Star Cruiser, and see what the difference is. In my opinion this is a really decent Sovereign, because of that extra Science Officer slot in place of the Tactical Officer Slot.

Dreadnought class. Two times the size, three times the speed. Advanced weaponry. Modified for a minimal crew. Unlike most Federation vessels, it's built solely for combat.

Well... for the Reverse Shield Polarities and the Directed Energy Modulations, you use one, and there's a relatively short cooldown on the other and you swap them out constantly.
but yes, I totally agree.

No Beam Banks. Wide Arc Quantum Launcher
Otherwise, looks like the Nemesis Ent-E. Something I may actually run...
The aft should mount a q-torp AND a photorp. You might consider making the aft qtorp the 180-degree qtorp - both to keep the fore firing arc stronger for DPS, and as a nod to the importance of the aft torp launcher in TNG (it was the first and last weapon to /ever/ fire on-screen for the Enterprise-D). All the energy weapons should be arrays - beam banks were very few and far between in TNG. They're kind of a relic from the TOS era, and even then, part of the reason they were viable was because there were a ton more of them to cover a much wider firing arc overall.
I would also suggest attempting to fit Aux2SIF3 in there (maybe). You may also consider Extend Shields, since this seems like an Enterprise-y thing to do.
And I agree that BFaW is more important than Beam Overload, and that two Reverse Shield Polarities seem a bit off.
That said, this is a neat little exercise. Thanks for posting it!
Anytime, I'm editing it to take in these changes.

Other then that, good thread.
D'oh! Thank you for pointing that out.

Look out for "Canon Defiant (U.S.S. Defiant) Build" and "Canon Galaxy (Enterprise-D) Build" threads.
And avery, I really hope you can play again soon

Thanks for posting this, I am working on a new toon, and this is what I want to do. One question though. How does this build really work in-game? Cause I have always heard either 8 beam array, or 6 beam arrays and 1 torp. So with this build, how much damage do you really do? Is it comparable to other builds? Or does it not have any DPS at all.
Id highly suggest FAW3, HYT2, Tac 1 if you want to mimic nemesis. The E went for faster firing shots over single powerful phaser hit. And since it didnt really fire torpedos at a lot of targets at once it would be more single target torpedo attackish. And tac team 1 to clear those pesky reman boarding parties
Since the E was in a heavy weight slugging match itd be built a lil tankish so, Emergancy power to shields 2x 2. Eng team 3, Extend shields 3, Emerg to weapons 1, and engines 1. For faster turn id use evasive + doffs. For faster torpedo firing projectile doffs x 2-3.
2 fore arrays, 2 rear arrays, 1 photon, 1 quantum fore and aft. Sci is kinda toss up since E didnt do much sci stuff in movies.
This is how i have mine set up, i use PH1 and HE2 for extra resist and heal, but Sci team or TSS also works.
Lastly dont forget to have a consular doff with ramming speed for the finisher.
It's really torpedo heavy, so it requires most of the time for a target's shields to be down. I reduced the beams because I tried 6 beams, and the power drain was too much, even with weapon power all the way up... the Enterprise-E build does decent damage and the power drain isn't as bad.
I do not know about other builds, I just figured I would make something completely off the wall and different, you know? I got bored with "You should put this this and this on your ship and run with it.", so I made this, despite any negative criticism.

I was thinking about making a Nemesis build since both Es were different in those two movies.

Thanks.
Also, with the new patch, cooldown for RSP and EPtS is shared, so, I'll see what I can do to fix that.

Here's a preliminary idea for a Voyager build. This can be used with either VA versions. I haven't sat down with the Captain level Intrepid as of yet.
Long Range Science Vessel (Retrofit)
Fore Weapons: 2 Phaser Beam arrays, 1 Photon Torpedo Launcher
Aft Weapons: 2 phaser beam arrays, 1 tricobalt torpedo launcher (Nod to "Endgame".)
Lieutenant Tac: Tactical Team, HYT (A nod to the never ending supply of torpedoes)
Lt Eng: Emergency Power to Shields, Aux to SIF
Ensign Sci: Tachyon Beam
Lieutenant Commander Sci: Science Team/Transfer Shield Strength, Polarize Hull, Hazard Emitters
Commander Sci: Tractor Beam, Mask Energy Signature, Photonic Shockwave, Photonic Officer
(I know Photonic Officer 3 is hard to come by. Photonic Officer can be had as a Lieutenant Commander ability, so you could swap it out for say PSW3 or GW3 which are trainable.)
Specialty Consoles: Ablative Generator, Photonic Displacer (as a nod to "Deadlock".)
I know Hazard Emitters doesn't really go, but I can't build a ship without Hazard Emitters. You could substitute it for Gravity Well 1, but I have a thing where no ship of mine leaves spacedock without Hazard Emitters.
If you want to fight in this thing, I really am not a fan of MES personally. I would sub that for Tachyon Beam, or Transfer Shield Strength
