Hi, I am a rear admiral in an advanced Fed escort ship. I am a returning player after a year or so and am trying to re-learn the game .......... also a bit better thatn last time. what is the best way to equip my ship with weapons for DPS?

I am using 7 180 degree phaser banks (4 front and 3 rear) and strafing so all 7 weapons are hitting the target and i can switch sides when the shields on the facing side get low.

Perhaps i used to do this because it was easier ........ I do not know, like i said i need to re-learn the game. any advice from some knowledgable players would be awesome.

Thanks

    If you want DPS use Dual Heavy Cannons in front, and turrets in the rear. Also make sure to have Cannon Bridge Officer powers like Scatter Volley and/or Cannon Rapid Fire.

    Run a tac team chain and it won't matter. You should also have an EPtS chain (everyone should), and have the Distribute Shields command keybound so it's always active as well. So your boff abilities would look something like:

    TT1, CSV/CRF, APO1, APB3
    TT1, CSV/CRF APO1
    EPtS1, EPtS2
    HE1, TSS2
    ???

    Tactical team x2 will help with the shields. But yeah DHC up front, turrets at the back.

    Go with tac team 1 and have 2 copies, don't use tac team 2 or 3 as they take up valuable spots for better boff skills and, the difference between level 1,2 an 3 tt is negligible. Oh yeah what everyone else said... do that.
